1/8-Inch Baltic Birch Plywood Panel

Baltic Birch Plywood Panel 1/8-Inch Details

This 1/8-inch Baltic birch plywood panel is a rigid, smooth, strong, and affordable support for painting, mounting artwork, and backing compatible framing projects. The panel is cut to the width and height entered for the order.

Choose this thickness when a plywood support is needed but the framing package has limited space. It uses 1/8 inch less depth than the 1/4-inch panel, leaving more room for the artwork and other selected layers.

Uses and Project Fit

Use this panel for acrylic, oil, or encaustic painting with surface preparation appropriate to the chosen medium. It can also be used to mount artwork with a method suited to the artwork and its intended display. Select the thickness for the panel dimensions, attachment method, and support the project needs. A thin panel that fits the frame is not automatically stiff enough for every project.

Material and Functional Characteristics

Baltic birch is a plywood material, not solid timber or foam core. Plywood uses bonded veneer layers to provide support and dimensional stability. Wood panels can still respond to moisture and humidity changes, so do not assume a panel will remain flat under every condition.

Before painting, follow the sealer, primer, and paint supplier's instructions for preparing a wood panel. A smooth face does not replace the sealing or priming required by the painting system.

Check Frame Depth and Order Size

For backing, order the dimensions required by the complete framing package rather than automatically using the visible image size. Add this panel's 1/8-inch thickness to the artwork, glazing, mats, spacers, and any mounting layers, then compare the total with the frame's usable rabbet depth.

This product selection is for the plywood panel. Glazing is an optional addition shown above; use Create Custom Design to add a frame, mats, or other framing components.
