Birch Plywood Shelves

About

Birch plywood shelf boards in 25 cm and 34 cm depths. AA-grade Baltic Birch plywood with a layered ply face. Hand-finished with hard wax oil. The birch AA-grade Baltic Birch plywood across every board, with no separate facing applied. The ply face IS the visible surface, sanded super smooth and hand-finished with hard wax oil on every face: top, bottom, sides, and edges. This is Adam's favourite finish: a light, clean Scandi face with the layered AA-grade edge on show. Continuous wood grain end to end and width to width, with the cross-bonded plies visible at every cut edge. Plywood for shelves At 25mm, AA-grade Baltic birch is stiff enough on its own for typical shelf spans. The cross-bonded core moves much less with humidity than solid timber, so the shelf stays straight on its brackets through the seasons rather than warping or twisting. Same Baltic Birch core as our table and bench tops, in a narrow 25 cm or 34 cm width — but here the core is the visible material too. Sizes Two depths: 25 cm deep , in 90, 120, and 150 cm lengths. Wall-mounted on brackets: books, kitchen display, narrow alcoves, kids' rooms. 34 cm deep , in 120 and 150 cm lengths. Fitted shelf builds in alcoves, or floor-standing units. For wall-mounted shelves, we advise two brackets per shelf. The 25mm Baltic birch core stays flat across the span. Rated loading is determined by the top, brackets, and wall fixing types; with good fixings, 50kg per shelf is conservative guidance. See shelf brackets for rated capacities. What you'll need A shelf board can be wall-mounted on brackets, set into an alcove, or built into a floor-standing unit. For wall mounting, our shelf brackets are sized as standard for the 25 cm boards, in hairpin and prism styles: see shelf brackets . The board sits on the bracket, with a small grub screw to stop it sliding, and the bracket fixes to the wall: into a stud where you can, cavity anchors for drywall, or rawl plugs for brick.
