It’s a simple, yet surprisingly complex question that we encounter almost daily. A Plywood veneer takes thin slices of timber, that, once put through a rigorous production process, are able to be applied to any substrate while keeping the appearance of the original wood. When we say thin slices we really mean it. The approximate thickness of a timber veneer once everything is completed hovers around 0.6mm, allowing it to be glued onto [Plywood](https://plyco.com.au/products/quadro-birch), [MDF](https://plyco.com.au/products/mdf), or [Particle Board](https://plyco.com.au/products/veneer-particle-board) without any negative effects to the substrate’s physical qualities. ## [Plywood Veneer Sizes](https://blog.plyco.com.au/veneer-plywood-thickness) As our veneers are applied to all of the standard sheet sizes that we stock here at Plyco it means they are available in an astounding amount of variety. Whether it’s 2400x1200mm sheets or even the larger 3000x1500mm size, you’ll find it ready for purchase. To make things even sweeter, every product at Plyco is able to be cut to size. Are you after extremely specific dimensions to fit your project's needs? Well, our cutting gurus will whip your board into shape and get you the final Plywood product you need! ## [Veneered Plywood Applications](https://blog.plyco.com.au/veneer-plywood-applications) ![American Oak Veneered Plywood panels](https://blog.plyco.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/1%20American%20Oak%20Veneered%20panels.jpg?width=358&name=1%20American%20Oak%20Veneered%20panels.jpg) > [American Oak Veneered Plywood](https://plyco.com.au/products/quadro-american-oak) A piece of Veneered Plywood is able to be used for every single application a regular sheet of Plywood would be used for. This means the stunning architectural natural timber veneer doesn’t get in the way of projects like joinery, as well as wall and ceiling finishing. The increased appearance quality of a veneered sheet also makes it an even better fit for applications such as furniture, upholstery, shelving, shopfitting, and benchtops. Birch is a great all-round product, so using that as the basis for your Veneered Plywood gives you one of the most versatile products possible. ## [How to Cut Plywood Veneer](https://blog.plyco.com.au/cutting-veneer-plywood) Cutting Veneered Plywood is a much trickier process than cutting a regular sheet of Plywood. Regular pieces are extremely straightforward, and essentially everybody and their grandma could do it and produce great results. However, unless you’re careful and know what you’re doing you’re probably going to encounter a lot of chipping when you cut your Plywood Veneer. The key to eradicating this annoying issue is actually rather simple, and an absolute lifesaver once you learn it. ## [Types of Plywood Veneer Explained](https://blog.plyco.com.au/) ![Plyco's Beech Veneered Plywood](https://blog.plyco.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Products/mdf/Plyco's%20Veneered%20Beech%20MDF.jpg?width=1024&name=Plyco's%20Veneered%20Beech%20MDF.jpg) > Plyco's [European Beech Veneer](https://plyco.com.au/products/quadro-beech) The world of Plywood Veneers is both beautiful and astonishingly vast.
