Veneer Core Panels
Veneer core panels combine the appearance of a hardwood veneer face with the strength and dimensional stability of high-grade, veneer ready plywood construction. Built with multiple veneer plies oriented at right angles, veneer core panels provide good strength in both directions while maintaining a comparatively strong strength-to-weight ratio. They are a versatile choice for millwork, furniture, cabinetry and architectural panel applications.

- High-grade, veneer ready plywood construction with veneer plies
- Good strength along and across the panel
