The surface of the birch plywood is nearly free of gaps and other defects which gives it impact resistance, smooth surface, great screw holding power and can therefore be used for building, construction, vehicle industry and other industries where special strength of a material is required. Due to not having almost any defects birch plywood has an attractive side profile, which makes it highly decorative and can therefore be used to build furniture. Grain may run in either direction on the face of the sheet.
