We offer Veneer Core Plywood (VC), Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) , Particle Core Plywood (PBC), and Calibrated/Platform Core.
Custom Laid-Up Plywood
AWS can create custom laid-up plywood based upon the specifications your project requires. We offer many species of veneer laid up on the board of your choice. By utilizing high quality plywood in our plywood press assembly we can ensure a balanced product. All panels are manufactured in-house and we offer quick lead times with no minimums. Chose from an array of hardwood, burl, exotic and marine veneers. We offer Veneer Core Plywood (VC), Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) and Particle Core Plywood (PBC) boards.
Veneer Core Plywood (VC)
VC is constructed by cross layering three or more sheets of wood veneer alternating with the grain at 90 degrees. Every layer is joined together by an adhesive which provides strength and stability.
VC is well suited for cabinet and casework. The cross layering of veneer sheets produces a strong and stable panel.
Calibrated/Platform
Perfect for cabinet and furniture manufacturing that requires exact tolerances. The precision inner ply has a +/- .005″ variation across the sheet.
Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF)
This core is manufactured by mixing fine wood dust and binder then heat pressing the mixture into panels. The result is a stable and consistent product that is easy to work with. There is less chipping during cross cutting and the surface beneath the veneer is usually blister-free.
Particle Core Plywood (PBC)
This board is made using a more coarse wood dust than MDF resulting in a lower weight product with less consistency.
Melamine
Melamine plywood is a thermally fused, resin saturated paper finish over a particle board core. It is highly stain and abrasion resistant.
Fibre-Ply
Cabinet manufacturers especially appreciate its excellent machineability and superior screw holding combined with exceptional strength and durability. Veneer and MDF layers between the face and back veneers create a lightweight, rigid and smooth panel.
