Richply D.Fir A-C is a premium multi-purpose sanded panel manufactured using an A-face with C-back and inner plies; leaving the panel with the best appearance on one-side. Surface blemishes are repaired with wooden plugs and epoxy/wooden putty patch materials that are sanded to provide a smooth, consistent working surface.
Richply D.Fir A-C is produced to U.S. Voluntary Product Standard PS-1 Structural Plywood and is constructed using Group 1 Douglas Fir faces and backs, and with inner plies consisting of either Group 1 Douglas Fir or other specially selected Group 2 or 3 species. Structural-I panels for engineered applications where design properties including tension, compression, shear, cross-panel flexural properties and nail bearing are of significant importance are also available.
Applications:
Richply D.Fir A-C is suitable for interior and exterior applications including do-it-yourself projects where appearance of one exposed surface is important.
Richply D.Fir A-C combines the warmth and natural beauty of Douglas Fir wood grain appearance with the structural performance and utility building professionals and do-it-yourselfers have come to expect when working with plywood; lightweight, easy to handle, strong and durable.
Typical end-use applications include shelving, built-ins, partitions, flow racks, laminating, furniture, porch ceilings, fences, soffits, fascia, paneling, accent panels, and flooring underlayment (tongue-and-groove profiling available). D.Fir A-C is also suitable in the Transportation industry for trucks, buses, recreational vehicles, and boat building.
Key Advantages:
- Attractive Appearance – the A-grade panel face captures the warmth and natural beauty of the real wood grain features contained within the Douglas Fir species.
- Sanded Surface – smooth, solid surface that is consistent in thickness from panel to panel.
- Light Weight and Workability – excellent strength-to-weight ratio; a 3/4” panel typically weighs less than 66 lbs, is easy to work with, and can be cut into almost any shape or size.
- Dimensional Stability – plywood’s cross-laminated construction provides excellent two-way strength and stiffness properties, resistance to impact damage, and dimensional stability when gaining or losing moisture.
- Fastener-Holding Ability – plywood’s cross-laminated construction provides excellent fastener-holding ability; nails and screws can be placed near panel edges without splitting the panel.
- NAUF – manufactured with no added urea-formaldehyde.
