Renowned for its durability as well as its bending strength, poplar plywood comes in a variety of grades and thicknesses suitable for interior and exterior applications.
Poplar Plywood Features
There are a variety of poplar plywood products available. White poplar plywood and black poplar plywood come in a variety of grades for projects such as cabinetry, furniture, and outdoor projects.
In general, poplar plywood offers pale coloration, tight, beautiful grain, and a wonderfully consistent appearance with minor pin knots visible. In AB grade poplar plywood, these pin knots typically measure a few millimeters in diameter. Barely visible, they do not detract from to the wood’s naturally pleasing aesthetic.
There are many poplar plywood applications. As you decide whether poplar is the best plywood for your project, ensure that you select treated wood for exterior applications. Untreated poplar is not rot-resistant, and it will not stand up to the demands of exposure to the elements.
Because poplar’s color is pale and its grain is fine and even, it can be finished to mimic the look of costlier woods this makes poplar plywood a cost-conscious and attractive choice cabinetry. While it’s not as hard as actual hardwood, it is strong enough to provide a durable finished product that also happens to look fantastic while helping homeowners and contractors stick to their projects’ budgets.
If you’re looking for a cheap trim product, you may want to consider poplar plywood. Again, this works best if the plywood is painted with oil-based paint.
