Poplar Plywood
Poplar plywood panel/multilayer panel.
Poplar plywood has been a popular product for at least half a century and has undergone enormous technical improvements over the years which have improved both its production quality and botanical selection.
Poplar today in the veneer market is a scientifically proven and high-performance product, having been developed using certified clones and cultivated according to a rigorous and tested procedure, also in the phytosanitary field, to guarantee the high quality of the wood at every cycle up until harvesting.
In fact, thanks to its rapid growth, ease of cultivation and lightness, poplar is one of the most common, if not prevalent, woods in the multilayer panel production sector. Its mechanical characteristics also make it easily usable, requiring lower processing, management and maintenance costs of the machinery in relation to the majority of veneer wood on the market.
Its fibre is stable and elastic – combined with its low density and weight – making it ideal also for its application in the mobility sector and in environments that require resistance in conditions of constant stress and vibration, such as – for example – those of caravans and mobile homes where it is used as the main support base for the vehicle’s habitable area.
Italian Poplar from Plantations: A Sustainable Choice
Italian poplar is increasingly being cultivated in plantations for its rapid growth rate and valuable timber. The trees are “hybrid clones”, so not “natural species”. The majority of volumes are clones of: Populus x canadensis (mainly “I 214”) or Populus trichocarpa x P. Deltoides (such as “Beauprè”).
Plantation-grown Italian poplar offers several advantages over naturally occurring trees, such as controlled growth and sustainability. In fact, choosing to use plantation-grown Italian poplar brings some benefits like high yield. This type of poplar typically produces higher yields of timber compared to naturally occurring trees. More benefits are consistent quality and reduced environmental impact. While controlled growing conditions can result in more consistent timber quality, well-managed plantations help reduce the pressure on natural forests and promote sustainable forestry practices.
In conclusion, Italian poplar from plantations is a sustainable and economically viable option for timber production. By adopting responsible forestry practices, plantation owners can contribute to the conservation of natural resources and support local communities.
Our product is mainly employed in the caravan sector, furnishing, construction, packaging, DIY projects, car furnishing, and in the nautical sector and is produced in accordance with current regulations.
