premium plywood for decorative applications

www.forest1.com

DesignerPly is a decorative range of plywood specially se-lected to create a visual impact - from wall panelling, joinery and ceiling panels. The DesignerPly range offers an extensive range of products for many applications, with clear and feature veneers to pre-finished Powder Coated surfaces to achieve your desired designs.

Decorative solutions

Choosing the best DesignerPly for your next project will be dependent on the application and the visual im-pact you are wanting to achieve.

DesignerPly Marine for clear, light col-oured finishes where an external grade glue bond is required. Also suitable for staining or powder coating to add col-our. DesignerPly Birch and DesignerPly Hoop Pine are suitable to achieve a clear, light coloured finish. Suitable for staining or powder coating for durability and colour.

For ceiling linings where weight may be of importance our light-weight Desig-nerPly eLite can be used. Where a tough surface is required, for high volume wear and tear areas or under external eaves, DesignerPly Powder Coated surfaces in either a Clear or Limed finish, will be suitable. By specifying a pre-finished panel, powder coating reduces on-site installation time with no VOC emissions. DesignerPly Acoustic plywood can be cut to your specific designs giving a unique and practical panel to achieve creative designs and end results. Our Gunnersen representatives can as-sist with expert advise to make the specification process simple.

Certification Gunnersen holds Chain of Custody under the AFCS, PEFC and FSC forest certification schemes. Please contact your nearest branch to discuss our ability to source and supply certified, plywood products from our global network of producers.
