Q:
Hi I was wondering if it was possible to get 0.8 BR Grade Birch Laser Plywood in a larger size. I ideally need a sheet 1.2 metres x 600mm. Is this possible? Thanks
A:
Hi Marcus,
We do not cut the material here but we can request custom cuts from the supplier. If we do that we need to hit Minimum Order Quantities with the supplier so it would not be something we could do for a single sheet.
Best Regards
Cullen

Q:
Hi, we are thinking of using this product to stretch some textiles to be able to print on them so we need these round edges in certain size, do you offer laser cutting as well?
Asked by: John
A:
Hi John,
Thank you for your email, I am sorry but we can only sell the sheets in the sizes online. We do not have the facilities to cut them down here unfortunately.
Best Regards

Q:
is this thin enough that an led would be (at all) visible through it
Asked by: hugo beyts
A:
Thank you for your question, if you had a bright enough LED and it was very close say with 30mm of the material you would see light through the material.
How much light would again depend on the LED and it's distance from the material. I tested this with white LEDs and I suspect other colour LEDs would struggle more.

Q:
Hi I'm designing pieces for my HNC millinery/design final collection and a number of my headpieces are designed to incorporate a fine wood veneer. To enable me to flex the veneer/wood virtically and laterally my tutor has suggested that I use a three ply veneer. Would this 0.8mm ply bend in all directions. I've tried a simple veneer which is great to mould laterally, but splits if flexed in differing directions. Thanks Heather
Asked by: Heather
A:
Hi Heather, I have checked the sheet for flexibility, as you can see from the video on the product page it flexes across the width very well. It can also flex length ways, however you can only flex it this way around 20-30% of the amount you can width ways. I hope this helps.

Q:
Hi - I am an Architect. We are currently building models in our studio. We wish to buy some 6mm and 0.8 plywood but wondered it there was any visible difference in the colour between the sheets? In the online images the 0.8mm looks yellow compared to the 6mm sheets. I am aware it can vary. Also is it possible to get 750 x 500mm sized sheets?
Asked by: Barry
A:
Barry,
I’ve just had a look at the 0.8mm BR grade birch and there is quite a bit of colour variation within that product let alone comparing it to another product, some sheets match exactly probably as they were cut from the same log, but others are different shades. I don’t think you can expect them to match.
At the moment the biggest sheet size is 600 x 400mm and we don’t currently have any plans to do a bigger sheet size. We could get material cut to order, but there would be a big minimum order quantity in the order of hundreds of sheets which means for most people it isn’t really viable.
Best regards
Michael

Q:
Hi, I am a sculpture. Currently, I am working on a site-specific project in Italy. I am interested in using 0.8mm BR Grade Birch Laser Plywood for the project. I have the following questions: There's a bigger sheet size for this product? The exhibition it is going to be for 3 months, I am planning to use it for outdoor, is the product going to maintain its properties during this period of time? The exhibition it is going to have high visibility, due to the fact that is an art biennale with the participation of educational institutions from across Europe would you be interested in exploring a possible sponsorship for the project?
Asked by: Santiago Reyes Villaveces
A:
The answer to your questions are as follows: 1, unfortunately this product comes in pre-cut to us from our supplier, and as such this is currently the largest sheet size we can obtain. 2, the plywood doesn’t have a coating to protect it from the elements, as such without any protection it wouldn’t with stand being outdoors, even with protection it is difficult to determine how the products properties would change. 3, we wouldn’t be able to offer sponsorship for this exhibition, we have a limited budget for this and we have already used this for this current year. I apologise that we are unable to help with your project.
