Specifications of Our Beech Wood Products

Standard Thicknesses:
Our beech wood planks are available in two standard thicknesses:
- 50 mm
- 70 mm
Various Lengths:
The planks come in lengths ranging from 2100 mm to 3300 mm. This variety in dimensions allows customers to choose the best option to suit their project needs.
High Quality and AB Grade:
All our planks are AB grade, meaning they are selected from the finest and highest-quality wood available. This grade ensures health, uniformity, and an aesthetically pleasing surface appearance.
Kiln-Dried:
Our planks are kiln-dried using advanced technology to a standard moisture content of 10% to 12% (up to a maximum of 14%). This process guarantees the planks are resistant to warping, cracking, and other moisture-related damages.
Steamed for Enhanced Strength:
Before the drying process, our beech wood planks are steamed. This process helps to achieve a more uniform color and enhances the strength and durability of the wood.
