Rift Sliced
Rift Sliced veneer is cut on a radial angle toward the growth rings of the tree by slicing a quarter log to produce a cut that crosses both the growth rings and the rays at a slight angle, resulting in a straight grain effect. Rift Cut is similar to quartered but controls for flake.
Slip Matched
Slip Matching is a method where adjacent sheets of veneer are consecutively placed side by side without turning. The result is a repeating pattern with uniform color across the surface. Slip Matching is common with Rift Cut to enhance the straight grain appearance of the veneer. Slip Matching eliminates the barber pole effect, where alternating sheets of veneer reflect light and stain differently creating unwanted variation in the face.
ElementPly™ Applications:
ElementPly™ is suitable for interior projects. Millwork, kitchen and bath cabinetry, hospitality, furniture, and closets are ideal applications for this durable plywood.
Core:
ElementPly™ cores are specifically designed for quality and durability. This exclusive core is created to meet specific application requirements and is specially manufactured to reduce warping. ElementPly™ is intensively quality controlled to perform at the highest of standards.
A Grade Plywood
The grading standard for Hardwood Plywood comes from the Hardwood Plywood and Veneer Association (HPVA). Grade A is the optimal choice when exceptional appearance is important. Under this grading standard small burls and pin knots are allowed, as well as slight blending mineral streaks. However, all defects in the A Grade must be slight or non-existent.
Grading Hardwood Plywood is inherently a subjective and difficult process, as although the standard gives rules for specific numbers of defects, there is always personal or operational bias when it comes to the overall appearance of a particular surface. From one grade to the next, not only does variation in appearance get wider, but the amount of overlap between the low end of one grade and the higher end of the next grade down gets wider as well. Because of the inherent individuality of each tree and species, consideration should be given to the overall appearance of the veneer face to determine the appropriate grade for that veneer.
Sustainability:
White Oak trees are native to North America. Clear, wide white oak lumber comes from the giant girth of the large White Oak tree. The tree can be as wide as it is tall. With a lifespan of up to 500 years, White oaks have been used in architecture and furniture for centuries. Less abundant and more desirable than Red Oak, White Oak is still fairly plentiful and sustainable. White oak is sustainably harvested throughout Eastern North America.
We recognize the importance of ethically harvested lumber. As our most valuable resource, sustainably harvested forests increase the rate of carbon sequestration and significantly cut carbon emissions. Wood is a renewable and sustainable material, requiring less energy than alternatives like concrete or steel. From harvesting to recycling, lumber is the most carbon-efficient choice for building materials. Wood is of the few elements that can increase sustainability in a building’s life cycle, reduce waste, and create positive biophilic health benefits. Increasingly, architects and designers are calling for a return to wood as the prominent basic building material.
As an early adopter of FSC®, we recognize the importance of sustainably harvested lumber. FSC® Certified plywood materials are available upon request. Contact your Sales or Specifications Representative for more information.
