European style, European source. World class look.
Trusted Partner in Paged
For over eighty years, Paged has been offering a wide range of products and services to its customers in Europe utilizing wood sourced from woodlands and plantations in Poland.
Columbia and Paged are pleased to annouce a return of Paged BirchPly, a TSCA Title VI ULEF cross-grain as the substrate of the Columbia Europly product line.
Paged BirchPly FSC Mix® [FSC-C01750] substrate is noted for its uniform and homogenous surface and high-ply-count cores.
Europly is smart, visual and responsible.
Easy to machine, with very few voids, the Europly decorative hardwood plywood is durable, rigid and resists splitting and warping. It can be used where special strength and high quality, visual edge is required and desired.
Factory finishing with durable UVWood™ and UV Labcoat™ finish options provide a durable, clear finish in a choice of gloss options.
At Columbia FSC Chain-of-Custody certified factories in North America, this substrate is bonded with the customer’s choice of decorative hardwood veneers in a range of thickness options for a FSC Mix panel construction to meet LEED® project requirements.
Columbia Forest Products has provided fine, decorative hardwood plywood veneer panels to North American fabricators for over 65 years. Columbia’s customers have grown to appreciate the widest product line in the industry from efficient, modern mills where exceptional service and product support are commonplace.
