ApplePly
ApplePly is a premium quality veneer core panel constructed from uniform laminations of solid grade 1/16" Alder and Birch. This all hardwood core produces a strong, lightweight panel with a minimum number of voids and a naturally attractive edge. ApplePly is available from 1/4" through 1-1/4" in thickness and 48" X 96" and 48" X 120" panels.

Attractive Edges
Uniformly thin core veneers laminated at right angles produces an attractive visual edge that is often used as a primary design element in furniture, fixtures and architectural installations. ApplePly is also popular for use as drawer sides because of its appearance when left unbanded. Alternating end grain and edge grain absorbs stain and finish at different rates, producing a pleasing light and dark layered effect.

Improved Machinability
Because ApplePly is made from low density hardwood veneers, and because it has few voids, it machines beautifully without tearing or fuzzing.

Sizes and Tolerances
ApplePly is manufactured in 6’, 8’ or 10’ lengths and 4’ widths. Thicknesses range from 1/4" 5ply through 1-1/4" 21ply. Tolerances comply with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI/HPVA) grade rules HP-1-2000. ApplePly can be manufactured to meet more critical tolerances when required.

Finishes
Like all States’ products, ApplePly can be ordered with any NOVA ultraviolet cured finish, clear, translucent, opaque or printed.

FSC Certification
Forest Stewardship Council certification insures that wood used in the manufacture of a given product comes from forests that are managed according to strict environmental social and economic standards. Currently ApplePly is available in both certified and non-certified formats.
