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.
Processing options
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.
