This item is available to ship All across New Zealand. It will be shipped from our Auckland Warehouse.

Maximize your project efficiency and budget with our Okoume Faced Plywood with a Poplar Core. This specialized panel delivers the beautiful, smooth, and easily finished look of high-grade Okoume hardwood on the exterior, while utilizing a lightweight, sustainable Poplar core. Bonded with a robust Water and Boil Proof (WBP) glue line, this panel offers enhanced moisture resistance and superior performance without the premium cost or density of all-hardwood plywood.

This construction makes it an excellent, cost-effective alternative to marine-grade products for internal applications where moisture is a concern, and for non-structural, weight-sensitive projects.

✨ Key Features & Benefits:

• Elegant Okoume Face: Features a clean, smooth surface with the attractive, uniform grain and light reddish-brown hue of Okoume, perfect for visible finishes like staining and clear coating.

• Lightweight Advantage: The Poplar core is significantly lighter than hardwood cores (like birch or tropical hardwoods), making it easier to handle, transport, and ideal for weight-sensitive applications (e.g., ceilings, RV interiors).

• WBP (Water and Boil Proof) Glue Line: Manufactured with a durable phenolic or melamine resin, providing high resistance to humidity and moisture. This makes it suitable for kitchen, laundry, and bathroom cabinetry (when properly sealed).

• Excellent Machinability: Poplar core material is softer, allowing for clean cuts and easy routing, while the Okoume face provides a beautiful, splinter-free veneer finish.

• Cost-Effective Solution: Delivers the aesthetic and moisture protection features of premium plywood without the higher cost of a full Okoume or Birch panel.
