Alder Cabinet Plywood

Alder Cabinet Plywood brings the character of real alder veneer to cabinet and furniture construction in an engineered panel format. Pale tan to light reddish-brown -- consistent with a hardwood core, it provides the dimensional stability of engineered construction with the appearance of solid alder. Standard 4 x 8 ft sheets, sanded both sides, cabinet-grade quality. Available at Windsor Plywood locations across Canada.

Common Uses

Alder Cabinet Plywood is used for cabinet carcase boxes, face frames, drawer fronts, cabinet doors, furniture panels, built-ins, and wall panelling where a alder face is the design intent.

Pro Tips

• Accepts stain remarkably evenly -- the best plywood species for colour-matching to other wood tones. Clear finish for a natural, light-toned contemporary look.
• Orient grain direction consistently across all panels in a project for a unified appearance. Mark grain direction on the back of each sheet before cutting.
• Cut with the veneer face up using a fine-tooth blade (60T+) to minimize tearout on the show surface. Apply painter's tape over the cut line for the cleanest edge.
