Description

Meranti BS1088

Manufactured from selected mixed hardwood logs, Meranti BS1088 is widely used in the boatbuilding industry and is appreciated for its natural durability, strength and stability. The face veneers of Meranti BS1088 are rotary cut featuring an attractive but bold irregular grain pattern. Meranti BS1088 is ideally suited to clear coat applications which enhances the lustrous wood grain.

Note: Marine plywoods are not required to be naturally durable. They are non-treated and don’t come finished with a coating. Good boatbuilding practice of thorough sealing with preservative compounds, paints or resins is normal.
