Why is the market accepting multilayer boards? Here are the reasons!

2025-11-04

As everyone knows, multi-layer solid wood panels are one of the preferred materials for whole-house customization. They are made from interlocking layers of plywood as the base material, reinforced with high-polymer environmentally friendly adhesives, and finished with high-quality decorative paper . The process involves multiple steps including cold pressing, hot pressing, and sanding.


Next, we will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of multi-layer solid wood boards and the key points for purchasing high-quality multi-layer solid wood boards!

What is multi-layer solid wood board?

Solid wood plywood is made by gluing and hot-pressing nine or eleven layers of veneer or thin wood boards together. Plywood is generally available in six thicknesses: 3mm, 5mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, and 18mm. Its characteristics include good flatness, strong load-bearing capacity, and high cost-effectiveness.

Meanwhile, the environmental protection level of the boards reaches E0 level.

Currently, it is one of the most commonly used main materials for whole-house customized furniture, along with particleboard.

What are the advantages of multi-layer solid wood boards?

1. Excellent stability

Solid wood multilayer boards employ an intricate layout, giving them high strength and excellent stability.

2. High cost performance

Multi-layer solid wood boards are much cheaper than solid wood boards, and their flatness and load-bearing capacity are sufficient to meet the basic requirements of whole-house customization.

3. Environmentally friendly and easy to maintain

The veneer paper on the surface of solid wood multilayer boards has a certain degree of wear resistance and stain resistance, and it does not require much effort to maintain.

How to choose solid wood multilayer boards?

1. Examine the cut surface of the board.

Solid wood plywood is composed of solid wood cores. The flatness and integrity of each layer can be seen from the side cross-section of the board. Good plywood has each layer arranged neatly, and the wood is clean and dense.

2. Consider material requirements

Solid wood plywood is mainly divided into two categories: Eucalyptus plywood, which, as the name suggests, is made entirely of eucalyptus wood; and Poplar-Eucalyptus plywood, which consists of 5 layers of eucalyptus wood and 6 layers of poplar wood.

You can distinguish them by looking at the cross-section. Poplar is whitish in color, while eucalyptus is darker. All-eucalyptus plywood has improved nail-holding power, flatness, and load-bearing capacity.

3. Kanban board

There's no need to worry about the flatness of multi-layer solid wood boards; the main concern is whether there are any potential problems later on. Tap different parts of the board with your hand; if the sound is crisp and even, it indicates that the interior is dense and without holes, and you can buy it with confidence.

4. Check the environmental protection rating.

Solid wood multi-layer boards are made by applying adhesive and then hot-pressing them. When purchasing, you can smell them to see if they have a pungent odor and check the product inspection report.
