Birch plywood Topfix CPL U129 TST Shadow: what is it?

Plywood HPL U129 CST Shadow is a high-quality board. It is coated on two sides with CPL (a thin layer of HPL). This is a hard and scratch-resistant top layer of approximately 0.7 mm thick. This makes Birch Topfix a ready-to-use product, and easy to use for various indoor projects.

CST

CST can be described as a satin-finish topcoat with a fine orange peel texture. It is a subtle, transparent layer that brings out the lustre of the colour or texture. CST technology gives the surface a refined look with a touch of luxury.

Plywood carrier

Plywood is a popular choice in terms of backing HPL layers due to its attractive edges. The panels are composed of several layers, giving a stylish look. The carrier of this HPL layer consists of hardwood layers with CP/CP quality. This also makes the material more durable and the edges less sensitive than other soft(er) woods.

This plywood panel is composed of several hardwood veneer layers. These layers are cross-glued to each other. This results in a stable panel. Nevertheless, the wood being glued together, during sawing and machining plywood birch may release tension, which may cause longer boards to have a slight warp.

Machining of Plywood HPL U129 CST Shadow

Plywood is an easy panel material to work with, if you have sharp tools. For drilling holes, we recommend a wood drill with a centre point. Pre-drilling is also recommended for this panel material. Use an edge sealer to finish the edges of plywood, this prevents the varnish or stain from penetrating the board material, which could lead to the veneer layers coming loose.
