| 3 | Structural Softwood Plywood with Veneer Face | Spruce, pine or fir veneers with a decorative or utility-grade face | 9–30 mm | 400–600 kg/m³ | EN 636-2 or EN 636-3; structural class must be declared | Approximately 20–45 MPa | Good; lower density reduces weight but may increase denting | Easy to cut and nail; face quality varies from utility to furniture grade | Typically E1; verify applicable regional requirements | Wall and roof sheathing, crates, partitions, packaging and economical furniture | Check structural grade, face defects, knot limits, panel flatness and load-span data |
| 4 | LVL Panel with Decorative Wood Veneer | Parallel laminated veneers, sometimes combined with a sliced wood face | 15–45 mm | 500–650 kg/m³ | Usually dry or humid service; exterior suitability requires a specific declaration | Approximately 35–60 MPa parallel to grain | Excellent along the main grain direction; directional performance is important | Very consistent, strong edge machining and high screw-holding capacity | Commonly specified to low-emission structural-panel requirements | Long shelves, beams, stair components, worktops and high-load furniture parts | Check grain direction, allowable stresses, edge appearance, span tables and connection design |
| 5 | Eucalyptus Hardwood Veneer Plywood | Cross-banded eucalyptus veneers with natural or reconstituted face veneer | 5–30 mm | 550–700 kg/m³ | EN 636-1, EN 636-2 or EN 636-3 according to intended exposure | Approximately 35–60 MPa | Good to very good when moisture content is controlled | Hard, smooth face; good for furniture, flooring substrates and CNC work | Typically E1, subject to adhesive system and regional certification | Furniture, flooring underlay, cabinetry, doors and commercial interiors | Check core balance, veneer thickness, surface checking, moisture content and pressing quality |
| 6 | Okoume-Faced Lightweight Plywood | Lightweight cross-laminated plywood with okoume or similar low-density face veneer | 4–25 mm | 400–520 kg/m³ | Available in dry, humid or exterior bond grades; confirm the declared class | Approximately 20–40 MPa | Good for its weight; edges require protection in wet conditions | Very easy to machine, with a smooth face suitable for clear finishes and paint | Usually offered in E1 or project-specific low-emission grades | Lightweight furniture, vehicle interiors, boat interiors, doors and wall cladding | Prioritize weight tolerance, face veneer thickness, core composition and water-resistance grade |
| 7 | Poplar-Core Veneer Plywood | Low-density poplar veneers with hardwood, poplar or decorative face veneer | 5–30 mm | 400–550 kg/m³ | Commonly EN 636-1 or EN 636-2; exterior versions require specific bonding | Approximately 20–40 MPa | Good in controlled interiors; moderate movement under high humidity changes | Lightweight and easy to saw, rout, sand and laminate | Typically E1; verify the test method and certificate for the destination market | Furniture carcasses, interior partitions, displays, doors and lightweight panels | Check density uniformity, soft spots, core gaps, screw withdrawal and face telegraphing |
| 8 | Veneer-Faced MDF Panel | Refined wood-fibre core with sliced natural-wood veneer on one or both faces | 6–30 mm | 650–800 kg/m³ | Standard MDF for dry areas; moisture-resistant MDF for humid interiors | Approximately 20–40 MPa | Very good in-plane stability; edges can swell if exposed to water | Excellent smoothness, profiling and paintability; weaker screw holding than plywood at edges | Commonly E1; low-emission specifications must be verified for the target country | Cabinet doors, wall panels, furniture fronts, mouldings and decorative interiors | Check MDF moisture class, thickness swelling, veneer matching, edge treatment and coating compatibility |
| 9 | Veneer-Faced Particleboard | Wood-particle core with natural-wood veneer, often balanced with a reverse face | 8–40 mm | 600–750 kg/m³ | Dry-use or moisture-resistant grades; confirm EN 312 performance class | Approximately 12–25 MPa | Good in dry interiors; moisture-resistant grades perform better in humid conditions | Uniform surface and economical; edges need edging or sealing for a finished appearance | Typically E1 or lower-emission grade where available; verify documentation | Office furniture, shelving, wardrobes, partitions and retail fixtures | Check screw-holding capacity, thickness swelling, edge integrity, flatness and veneer balance |
| 10 | Decorative Blockboard with Wood Veneer | Solid-wood strips or finger-jointed core between cross-banded veneers and face veneer | 12–40 mm | 450–650 kg/m³ | Generally dry or humid interior grades; exterior use requires verified adhesive durability | Approximately 20–45 MPa | Good when the core is well balanced; panel movement depends on strip moisture content | Good screw holding and low weight; may show core lines if face construction is weak | Typically E1, subject to the core adhesive and veneer construction | Doors, long shelves, tables, partitions, cabinets and interior wall systems | Check strip width, core joint quality, moisture content, face balance and long-term flatness |
