Ilomba/Poplar Plywood
Multilayer wood panels with a poplar core and ilomba surface.
Plywood with a poplar core and ilomba surface is a high-performance material that combines the advantageous properties of both wood types, making it an excellent choice for a variety of applications. The poplar core provides a lightweight yet sturdy foundation, while the ilomba veneer enhances the plywood’s aesthetic appeal and durability.
The poplar’s mechanical properties ensure excellent stability, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of the plywood under different environmental conditions. The low density of poplar also makes the material easier to handle and process, resulting in reduced labour and machinery wear during manufacturing.
Ilomba, often referred to as “African mahogany,” is prized for its beautiful, rich colour and fine grain. The ilomba surface adds a touch of elegance to the plywood, making it suitable for high-end furniture, cabinetry, and interior applications. Its natural resistance to moisture and decay enhances the plywood’s durability, allowing it to perform well in both indoor and outdoor environments.
This combination of a poplar core and ilomba surface results in a versatile plywood product that is ideal for a range of uses, from decorative applications to structural components. The strong bonding between the layers ensures longevity and resilience, while the attractive appearance of ilomba makes it a popular choice among designers and builders.
Our panels are mainly employed as support panels for paper-based coating and are produced in accordance with current regulations.
