Okoumé Plywood
Multilayer okoumé wood panel produced in accordance with current regulations.
Okoumé plywood has gained recognition over the years for its exceptional qualities and versatility in various applications. It is prized for its aesthetic appeal, light weight, and strength, making it a preferred choice in the marine and furniture industries.
One of the key advantages of okoumé is its remarkable resistance to warping and swelling, which stems from its naturally high stability. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in environments with high levels of moisture fluctuations, such as in boat construction and other outdoor applications. Its fine, even grain and attractive reddish-brown colour provide an elegant finish, allowing it to stand out in decorative applications.
Technological advancements in processing have enhanced the production quality of okoumé plywood, ensuring consistent performance and durability. In terms of mechanical properties, okoumé boasts a favourable strength-to-weight ratio, making it easy to handle and work with.
Okoumé plywood is renowned for its application in the marine sector, where it is commonly used for boat interiors, cabinetry, and even hulls due to its excellent resistance to moisture and rot. Its lightweight nature enhances vessel performance, making it a sought-after material for both recreational and commercial boats.
Okoumé plywood stands out for its combination of aesthetic appeal and mechanical strength, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of applications, from construction to high-end furniture and marine projects.
