Additional product quality testing

Our production and quality control procedures adhere to international standards. Upon customer request, we can conduct supplementary tests on physical and mechanical properties, including but not limited to dimensions, moisture content, shear strength, bending, tensile and compressing strength, and more.

Customised thicknesses and tolerances

In addition to offering a broad selection of standard panel thicknesses, the number of veneer plies can be customised to achieve a precise panel thickness, thereby addressing the specific requirements of each industry.

Special product treatment with preservatives

Riga Wood plywood can undergo wood preservation treatment to safeguard against wood-damaging fungi or insects, such as termites. Additionally, a flame-retardant coating option is offered, therefore increasing the safety level in premises where applied.

Customised constructions and components

For customer and industry needs, the Product Development Department team designs plywood specifications and composite materials. For instance, by altering the veneer lay-up scheme, higher strength indicators can be achieved, or incorporating different materials into the plywood can enhance acoustic properties and dampen vibration.

Cutting to size

In addition to our extensive range of standard-sized plywood boards, we offer the option to custom-cut boards to the desired sizes before shipping them to the customer. This ensures that customers receive plywood tailored precisely to their requirements while we also manage the responsible disposal of any offcuts.

Edge machining

Edge-machined plywood is a cost-effective solution that reduces labour and manufacturing expenses for end-users. It guarantees top-quality panel machining for raw, film faced and overlaid Riga Wood plywood products. Various edge machining profiles like T&G, half lap, groove, partial groove, chamfer, rounding and other profiles for industrial purposes are available. Edge sealing, non-standard profiles and profile sizes are available upon request.

CNC machining

To streamline operations and reduce labour requirements, Riga Wood plywood can be CNC machined to customer specifications in various configurations and dimensions, encompassing milling, drilling, perforating and grooving. Plywood is highly suitable for CNC machining, providing clean and precise results.

Scarf jointed panels and special sizes

To enable customers to receive their needed plywood size, it is possible to scarf joint panels. Angled surfaces of two panels are joined, applying waterproof glue and joining them together. Scarfing is available both for raw and overlaid panels. The strength of scarf jointed panels is up to 90% compared to non-jointed panel strength.

Milling and drilling

Milling plywood is a rapid and highly precise process. It allows for various hole types – including through holes, stopped holes, angled holes, overlapping holes and counter-sunk holes – to be created with great accuracy. It is possible to incorporate holes in the edges of the details as well.

3D panels

Precise craftsmanship and specialised techniques allow us to create 3D panels that blend functionality with aesthetic appeal. These panels are particularly well-suited for interior design and furniture solutions.

Decorative finishing

A variety of decorative coatings allow combining the technological properties of birch plywood with a decorative function. Riga Wood birch plywood can be finished with decorative boards of other tree species, such as oak or ash veneer, or imitate leather, stone and other materials. These solutions are especially suitable for industries where the technical properties of birch plywood are essential and at the same time it is necessary to perform a decorative function.

Various plywood processing options are available:

  • Priming with UV curing (UV) or polyurethane (PU) primer
  • Painting with acid curing (AC), polyurethane (PU) or water-based (WB) paints
  • Varnishing with nitrocellulose (NC), acid curing (AC) or polyurethane (PU) varnishes
  • Staining with water-based stains
  • Surface impregnation with various wood protection products
  • Screen printing (logo, product name, code, etc.) with moisture-resistant colours
  • The finishing line can also be used for individual operations, for example only for grinding or priming of workpieces.
  • Finishing of products of complex shape and larger format and use of non-standard finishing materials are also possible.

Special overlays and coating

Riga Wood's birch plywood can be overlaid with a diverse range of films and coatings, available in various types and colours. It is possible to vary with different overlays, including sliced or peeled veneers of various tree species, plastic, linoleum, rubber, cork, aluminium, PPL, TPO and WPC, as needed. To enhance the product's qualities, it is possible to vary with different combinations and thicknesses of multiple coatings.

Colours and printing

The standard colour variations of birch plywood overlays can be supplemented with other colours that meet the customer's needs. Birch plywood is also suitable for printing logos or other information on it, which can be done on standard-sized plywood panels. Various printing colours are available, including fluorescent colours. Printing with a colour that is only visible under UV light is particularly suitable for printing specific information and its discreet transmission. Printing can be applied to raw birch plywood or plywood prepared for lacquering. It's also compatible with plywood overlaid with phenol or UV-resistant films.

Labelling and panel marking

Upon the customer's request, birch plywood panels can be customised by applying printed marks directly to their edges or using specially designed labels that contain specific, customer-relevant information. This may include details such as the tree species, barcode, board size or other unique data.

Acoustic solutions and sound insulation

Riga Wood acoustic panels combine functionality and aesthetics, making them an ideal choice for enhancing indoor environments by improving acoustics, reducing noise and adding to the overall ambience. We offer two types of panels: CNC perforated and grooved panels. These panels are available as standard solutions, but we also provide customisation options by tailoring the groove depth, hole diameter and layout to match the specific project requirements. Our acoustic panels can be further customised by cutting them to the desired size and format. Panels can also be seamlessly joined with tongue-and-groove technique to create non-standard sizes, milled, lacquered for a polished finish, or nonwoven fabric can be glued on the reverse face of the panel.
