Why are there darker spots on the plywood edge?

If you have noticed darker areas, these are not stains or defects

These areas correspond to natural wood knots, a characteristic inherent to this material. In the LINOLIUM and LAMINATE ranges, knots may appear on the edges, adding authenticity and a unique aesthetic value.

What are these darker areas?

The darker areas on the edge of the plywood are knots, which are parts of the trunk where branches once grew. As the tree develops, the wood forms around these points, creating variations in color and texture. Their presence is entirely natural and does not affect the strength or quality of the material.

Knots in birch plywood

Birch plywood is composed of thin layers of wood glued together in alternating directions, providing stability and durability. As a natural material, its structure includes knots that may be visible on the edges as darker areas. This is particularly noticeable in the linoleum and laminate ranges, where the main surface is treated, but the edge retains its original appearance.

A natural detail with aesthetic value

Far from being a flaw, knots add character and authenticity to each piece of wood. They are a visible testament to its natural origin and distinguish it from synthetic or artificial materials. Each birch plywood panel is unique, with variations that enhance its beauty and warmth.
