 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.
