- natural building material made of veneerwood. It is in the variety of wood and the quality parameter, such as strength, is enclosed. And now the main question: what plywood is better - coniferous or birch. Unequivocally, to say that plywood birch - more reliable and refined - on all points bypasses the coniferous analog and takes the palm tree of the championship, it is impossible. Comparison of these materials clearly shows that each of them is good in its own way and is able to prove better than the other in a certain area - building houses, manufacturing furniture, making souvenirs.
So, we define that for the manufacture of plywood using hardwood and softwood.
Birch plywood
Birch plywood is a bright representative of the hardwood family, possessing:
ideally smooth surface, pleasant to the touch;
even and noble color of wood;
increased degree of strength and flexibility.
It is often used where highindicators of strength, and the degree of load on the material goes into the category of extreme. Birch is strong in nature, but included in the plywood block of the resin, bonding the layers of veneer, increase these characteristics. At the same time, it has a decorative effect and is able to decorate any interior, adding notes of warmth and home comfort to it.
It has a high cost, since it is long and reliable. She is involved in:
Car building.
Automotive
Construction.
Improvement of interiors.
Making furniture and souvenirs from wood.
Its main purpose is to guarantee the reliability of any object or design that was made of it.
Coniferous plywood
Coniferous plywood has good strengthon a par with ease. Low weight is due to the density of wood, which is always lower in coniferous than in hardwood. In general, coniferous trees and plywood made of them for a long time retain an ideal woody structure in terms of quality. And all because pines, spruces, larches and other conifers are naturally saturated with sap - living coniferous resin. It was sap that became the main obstacle to the development of mold and pests inside the wood.
Other special material properties:
resistance to moisture and the development of bacteria (is a natural antiseptic);
high ecological compatibility;
the beauty of texture that finds admirers among the joiners;
cheap material (against the background of birch and other hardwoods).
Softwood plywood is much lighter than birch, but less practical. It can be used in those areas of construction, furniture and industrial production, where high strength is not required.
It is great for:
Soft roofing.
Finishing work indoors.
Creating a foundation for parquet flooring, linoleum or laminate.
Manufacture of decorative crafts, shelves, furniture and interior items.
Creations of hand-rail and steps of ladders, small advertizing structures.
Coniferous plywood copes brilliantly with all that concerns the internal arrangement of the house.
Which type is better?
Summing up, we note that both materials are worthyattention from builders and ordinary buyers. The needles are more decorative, fragrant and durable (it suffices to recall the larch on which Venice stands and which Peter I called his favorite tree). Her presence will no doubt decorate a house or apartment. Birch is designed for repeated use, its price is higher, and therefore it makes sense to use it in large-scale and durable construction projects or where its strength is useful for many years.
