Parquet is a special brand of 100% birch plywood with strict thickness tolerances for parquet production. It is a product of heightened water resistance due to being glued with adhesive based on phenol-formaldehyde resin. The use of birch veneer of special thickness makes it possible to produce parquet plywood of standard and not-standard thicknesses with strict thickness tolerances. Birch plywood for parquet has optimal moisture content and high load bearing capacity.
Its other advantages are durability, low weight and dimensional stability. Birch plywood for production of parquet is safe for people’s health. Cut-to-size plywood is also popular among parquet manufacturers. To increase the strength properties of birch plywood, it is possible to use solid veneer in the inner layers.
Formaldehyde emission level of the birch plywood for parquet complies with the requirements of E0,5, CARB, ULEF
It is Parquet that is used by parquet manufacturers around the world.
