Information

Have you heard of UPM Grada Ply? It’s an exciting, innovative formable birch plywood. The UPM Grada panel is made of rotary cut birch veneers, which is known for its strength and stability. Heating the product allows the thermoplastic glue foils to slide, therefore enabling the panels to be formed into two-dimensional designs before cooling and retaining its shape and strength. Grada ply can be bonded with many substrates or decors under heat and pressure. This revolutionary product provides many possibilities in furniture, shopfitting, joinery and beyond PEFC Certified.
