The plywood production process starts with logging. Once the trees have reached the required age for cutting, they are logged and carefully selected. The birch wood suitable for plywood production is taken to the factory where it is measured, assessed for quality and prepared for further processing. 🌳 💧 Before the plywood is peeled, the wood is thermally prepared by soaking it in 45 °C hot water for 20 hours. This process is crucial to increase the elasticity of the wood, which is necessary for the veneer to be durable and crack-free. After soaking, the veneer blocks are peeled and the quality and dimensions of the veneer are checked with a camera in order to sort them for their future use in plywood production. The veneers are then dried, inspected and prepared for processing. Quality assessment is essential to ensure that only the best wood is used in the next stages of production. ⚙️ #plywood #plywoodmanufacturing #Latvia #birchplywood

How to Check the Quality of Veneer for Plywood Production Veneer is the main input material for plywood production, and the quality of plywood heavily depends on the quality of the veneer. Therefore, it is crucial to check the quality of veneer before using it in plywood production. In this video, I will share my experience and knowledge on how to check the quality of veneer for plywood production. I will cover four key factors that you need to consider: 1. Thickness: The thickness of the veneer is the most important factor to consider. It must be sufficient and even throughout the entire sheet. 2. Grade: Veneer is typically graded into three categories: A, B, and C. Grade A is the highest quality, followed by B and C. You need to carefully inspect the veneer to determine its grade. 3. Moisture content: The moisture content of the veneer is also important. It should be within a certain range to ensure the quality of the plywood. 4. Size: The size of the veneer should be consistent and meet your requirements. By following the tips in this video, you can ensure that you are using high-quality veneer for your plywood production. #veneer #plywood #coreveneer #marineplywood #howtocheck

📌 Before gluing, plywood and top veneer must be balanced to control the moisture content: Boards are stacked piece by piece. Then, they are kept in the Balance room, which is ventilated and dry. #Kelaiwood Balance time: above 72H Moisture content control: 6%-10% #plywood #woodflooring #moisturecontent #engineeredwoodflooring #hardwoodflooring #topveneer

Before buying plywood, there are several things to consider. First, check the grade and quality of the plywood. Different grades are suitable for different applications, so make sure the plywood you choose meets the requirements of your project. Next, inspect the plywood for any defects, such as delamination, warping, or damage to the edges. It's important to ensure that the plywood is of good quality and free from any visible flaws. Consider the type of wood used in the plywood. Different woods have different characteristics, and some are better suited for certain applications than others. For example, if you need plywood for outdoor use, consider a type of wood that is naturally resistant to moisture and decay. Lastly, consider the thickness of the plywood. The thickness you choose will depend on the specific requirements of your project, so make sure to select the appropriate thickness for your needs. #WudlayPly #BestPly #WonderFromTimber #Plywood

Requirements and inspection standards for veneer cut lumber generally include the following: Dimensional Requirements: The thickness, width, and length of veneer cut lumber should meet specific dimensional requirements, which are usually based on the specific application and manufacturing standards. Surface smoothness: The surface of veneer cut wood should be smooth and should have no obvious unevenness or blemishes to ensure that it is suitable for decoration and processing. Cracks and Blemishes: Veneer cut lumber should be slightly blemished, but should not have extensive cracks, cracks, or other obvious defects to ensure its beauty and quality. Humidity and Moisture Content: The moisture and moisture content of veneer cut wood should be within specific ranges to ensure its stability and processing properties. Wood species and sources: Veneer cut wood should be from suitable wood species and should be of legal origin to ensure it is environmentally friendly and sustainable. Inspection standards are usually set by relevant industry organizations, national standards or manufacturers, and specific requirements may vary by region and product.

This tool is a chimney clay tile breaker and it's breaking clay chimney tiles... but why? 👇 They are doing it to make more space - most wood stove flue collars measure 6" (152 mm) in diameter. However, they need to fit into existing clay or terracotta liners that are only about 6⅝" (168 mm) wide. To safely install a stainless steel liner, you also need a ½" (13 mm) thick insulation layer, which requires a total space of 7⅜" (187 mm). In many homes, the existing flue is too narrow to allow for this. The solution as seen in the video, is to remove the old terracotta or clay liners, which provides an extra 1.57 inches (40 mm) of space. That's more than enough space to allow for the installation of the necessary insulated stainless steel liner that meets safety standards👍 Clay flue liners typically need to be replaced every 15-20 years because of deterioration which can lead to carbon monoxide leaks. Whereas stainless steel liners can last up to 25 years, with some high-quality options potentially lasting a lifetime. Although stainless steel flue liners likely have a higher carbon footprint due to the energy-intensive nature of producing metals and they aren't as recognizably "natural". Their recyclability and longer lifespan offset these impacts over the entire lifecycle of the product.

Did you know plywood has been around for thousands of years? And it's still a key player in today's construction boom! From framing new homes to building epic skate ramps, plywood is a versatile workhorse – and Bakelite makes it all possible. Let’s look at the science. Plywood is created by using plywood resins – like the ones that Bakelite produces – to glue together thin layers of dried wood veneer sheets. The glue is applied by a variety of methods with a consistent dosing level, and the veneers stack to form panels. The thickness of the resulting plywood sheets depends on the number of layers of veneers used in the process. After the adhesive is applied, the plywood sheets go through a pressing process that flattens them and dries the glue. As you see construction around your town, the plywood they’re using has a good possibility of being made with one of our resins! #Bakelite #BakeliteSynthetics #PhenolicResin #MakingLifeBetter #ScienceIsFun

Why Choose Kiln-Dried Massive Wood for our futur Woodworking projects? 1. Stability: Kiln-dried wood has controlled moisture, reducing the risk of warping or shrinking. 2. Durability: It's stronger, more resistant to decay, pests, and wear. 3. Better Finish: The smooth surface absorbs stains and finishes evenly for a high-quality look. 4. Pest-Free: The kiln process eliminates insects and fungi. 5. Lightweight: Lower moisture makes the wood lighter and easier to handle. 6. Faster Availability: Kiln drying speeds up the process, making the wood ready for use quickly. #Woodworking,#KilnDriedWood,#SustainableWood,#WoodIndustry,#WoodProducts,#Timber,#Hardwood,#ConstructionMaterials,#BuildingMaterials,#FurnitureDesign
