Thomes Canada Ltd. is Canada’s largest North American Importer and Supplier of Manufactured Veneer Core Birch Plywood – also known commonly as “BALTIC BIRCH” plywood. Thomes sells to building, lumber and plywood distributors throughout Canada and the USA.
Based on our experience and knowledge we choose the best manufacturers of plywood in Baltic to meet your individual needs.
Veneer Core Birch Plywood is made by gluing together a multiple plies of birch veneer. There is always an odd number of veneers and each ply is at a right angle to the one below, which gives the material superior stability and strength. The type of glue and the thickness of plywood determine the suitability of a sheet for a particular application.
Veneer Core Birch Plywood may be used inside and outside. It is graded for exterior or interior use depending upon the water resistance of the glue.

We supply the following special plywood on regular basis:
The Baltic GOST 3916.1-96 standard:
Grade “B”
Single piece veneer of light and uniform colour. A few small pin knots and some brown streaks are allowed. Veneer of this grade is intended for natural finishes. Patches are not allowed. The majority of Grade B veneers are the equivalent of the American “white birch” faces.
Grade “BB”
Single piece face has light and uniform colour. A few sound tight knots and pin holes are permitted. Open knots and defects are replaced with small oval or round veneer patches before gluing. The patches are selected to closely match the background colour.
Grade “CP”
Single piece face is very close to Grade BB in quality. Thin splits are allowed. The oval or round patch may have a different colour from the background.
Grade “C”
Open defects such as open knots and veneer splits are allowed. Sanding is not required. Recommended for the building of containers and dust panels; can be used for crating and in manufacturing, where construction and strength are more important than the appearance.
Our MISSION is Supply Chain Oriented, to find you the best option to solve your production requirements.
