A veneer is a thin layer of wood produced by rotary cutting of the log. Veneers can be rotary cut in several thicknesses depending on the wood species and needed end-use.
In addition to the veneer used for plywood production UPM Plywood manufactures WISA-Parquet Veneer products for the parquet industry out of spruce. Veneers used for UPM’s WISA® plywood production are mainly peeled in 2.0 mm, 2.6 mm and 3.2 mm thicknesses for spruce and 1.5 mm for birch.
