Common Uses

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

Pro Tips

• Prime before painting for best adhesion. Accepts stain -- apply conditioner first for even colour.
• 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.
