What is combi core plywood?

Combi-Core is constructed of veneer core inner plies with particleboard or MDF cross bands next to the face and back. Offers similar strength and stability to veneer core but has the void-free surface quality of PBC or MDF.

What is the best core for plywood?

MDF Core. Medium Density Fiberboard Core has the most uniform thickness and consistency of any panel core.

The consistency in thickness and flatness makes MDF Core panels the preferred choice for 32mm construction.

What is birch veneer core plywood?

Veneer Core Made with alternating veneer inner plies. Veneer core panels are relatively light in comparison with composite panels, typically weighing about 70 lbs. per 3/4″ panel. Veneer core offers great strength and stability with better spanning properties than either PBC or MDF.

What does veneer core mean?

Veneer core is made up of many layers of hardwood bonded together. The layers are assembled with alternating grain direction, called cross banding. This makes a strong, rigid, lightweight sheet with excellent screw holding capability. Because of these qualities, veneer core is my first choice in most cases.
