![]() ![]() It was a popular material for furniture in the 1960s and 70s, although laterally it has been used more in light structural elements from plywood to framing due to its robust nature. The more effective modern production methods have significantly reduced the cost of veneer timber, although real-sawn timber veneers are still relatively expensive due to the time intensive nature of cutting and layering individual strips. With contemporary processes, the unique patterns can be replicated manually, or digitally scanned and etched into synthetic panels, allowing patterns to be repeated consistently across surfaces on veneer effect panels. Due to the nature of the different cuts of timber, it was previously impossible to have the same pattern repeated on each sheet of veneer. Modern methods of manufacturing are able to replicate these techniques and reproduce patterns quickly and economically. Traditionally, veneer was more expensive than standard sawn timber as it required a high level of skill to cut and layer fine strips of the timber. Higher-end, more expensive plywoods such as this have a veneer finishing layer which is comprised of thin sawn, cut or peeled strips from a tree’s trunk which, when layered together can form highly unique patterns. Plywood’s low cost and versatility lends itself to specification on projects which anticipate lots of change and are required to be adaptable for multiple or evolving uses, such as temporary structures, dividing walls in flexible/shared office spaces, seating and stands in exhibitions and low-cost, industrial looking fit-outs and conversions for hospitality and workplace settings. It is comprised of thin sheets of timber pressed together, making for excellent strength and solidity, ideal for cabinets and furniture while remaining cheaper than solid, ‘real’ wood pieces. Plywood is a commonly used structural panel material in the construction industry. ![]() The image represents a physical area of 2440 x 1165 mm (96.1 x 45.9 inches) in total. You can download a high resolution version of this texture and a matching bump map or CAD hatch (compatible with AutoCAD and Revit) using Architextures Create with a Pro Subscription.A seamless wood texture with a softwood plywood surface. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations. This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. When used in masonry construction, materials arranged in a stack bond typically require additional reinforcement when compared with a standard running bond. The stack pattern is the most basic of the standard patterns in architecture and interior design with each unit simply stacked one above the other and no horizontal or vertical offsets. ![]() The use of birch in plywood creates a light red-brown finish, with few impurities in the straight or curved grain. An engineered product designed specifically for the architecture and construction industry, birch plywood is used in structural elements, walls, cladding, and temporary building elements. The joints are filled with mortar and are 5 mm (0.2 inches) in width.īirch plywood consists of multiple layers of birch timber veneers, compressed together to improve the structural performance of the product. The image represents a physical area of 2460 x 2448 mm (96.9 x 96.4 inches) in total, with each individual board measuring approximately 610 x 1220 mm.
