Timber veneer is made by gluing thin slices of timber onto a wooden board or substrate, particle board, or fibreboard. The slices that are glued together are of uniform thickness and are normally between 0.5 mm and 0.85 mm in Australia and New Zealand. The benefit of using timber veneer is that it helps in saving precious natural resources and exotic plant species. Instead of making the entire product by using solid wood, timber veneer can be used instead, which provides the same look and texture feel of the original plant species. The surface coverage area of timber veneer is approximately forty times more than 25 mm of timber. That way, timber veneer provides an economical way to utilise precious natural resources, and helps in saving plantations. No other form of woodworking material can result in such an efficient use of wood, and minimisation of waste.    As each log is natural and has its texture, lustre and macro-structure, timber veneer used by trusted veneer and struc...

  The chemical treatment of fire-retardant plywood makes it resistant to flames. These compounds can offer an additional layer of protection by reducing the rate at which fire spreads. Commercial and industrial buildings, among others, often use fire rated plywood because of the high fire danger they pose. For that reason, a fire safety plan should incorporate them heavily. Plywood is widely used for sheathing, which is a purpose for covering the outside walls of a structure. Commonly used materials for sheathing include fire-resistant plywood sheet .     Because of its adaptability and high fire resistance, fire-retardant plywood is often used in public spaces. Its fireproof properties make it a popular material for many uses, including hospital and school furnishings, public theatre and hall interiors, and huge restaurant kitchen cabinets. The interiors of automobiles, buses, trains, and aeroplanes are just a few more places you might find fire-resistant plywood in...
