Birch plywood
for road transport

Driving innovation

Birch plywood, due to its durability and impact resiliencies, is widely used in heavy commercial vehicles, safeguarding car structures in light vehicles and preventing surface deformations in heavy trailers. It offers adaptability and low maintenance in light trailers, insulation in reefer trailers, and versatility in speciality trailers, buses and passenger cars.

  • Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
  • Wear-resistant, durable surfaces with anti-slip properties
  • Excellent long-term durability under heavy load conditions
  • Visually attractive and multifunctional
  • Environmentally friendly and with a long life cycle
  • Easy to process and customise, cost-effective, and suitable for diverse applications in light and heavy road transport

Riga Wood birch plywood is widely used in cargo compartment floors, side panels, and other structural applications where durability, strength, and impact resistance are essential.

For demanding flooring applications, panels can be coated with hard-wearing films featuring anti-slip and wear-resistant surfaces. These coatings help protect the plywood from mechanical damage, abrasion, moisture, and commonly used chemicals, ensuring reliable performance throughout the vehicle’s service life.

With excellent strength-to-weight properties and a wide range of machining options, Riga Wood birch plywood provides a durable and efficient solution for commercial vehicles, trailers, and specialised transport applications.

Riga Wood birch plywood is a durable, lightweight solution for flooring, wall linings, and integrated storage systems in light commercial vehicles. It protects both the vehicle structure and the cargo from impacts and everyday wear, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Offering an excellent balance of strength, weight, and moisture resistance, birch plywood remains a preferred choice over many alternative lining materials.

Light trailers

Riga Wood birch plywood is a durable and versatile solution for utility and leisure trailers, including camping trailers, snowmobile trailers, ATV trailers, and other specialist applications.

Used for both flooring and side constructions, birch plywood provides excellent strength, impact resistance, and moisture durability. Available in a wide range of panel sizes, it helps minimise floor joints—improving the overall strength and durability of the trailer. Panels can be customised with CNC machining, cut-outs, grooves, and other processing according to customer requirements, delivering ready-to-install components that simplify production.

Buses

Birch plywood is applied in bus flooring and cargo compartments to minimise vibrations and noise during transportation. Particularly well-suited are birch plywood products with wear-resistant coatings that provide anti-slip properties and are easy to maintain.

Passenger cars

Strong Floors. Durable Walls. Smarter Storage

Birch plywood is chosen for luggage compartments due to its durability, ease of processing and versatility in fitting various car cargo spaces. The wide array of decorative coatings, which are also simple to maintain, enables customisation and enhancement of the car’s interior design.
