Koivukuitulevy

Koivukuitulevy, meaning birch fiberboard in Finnish, is a type of wood-based panel material made from birch wood fibers. The production process typically involves breaking down birch logs into individual fibers, which are then mixed with a binder and pressed into sheets under heat and pressure. This results in a dense and homogeneous material.

The properties of koivukuitulevy include good strength, rigidity, and dimensional stability. Its smooth surface and uniform texture make it suitable for various applications. It is often used in the construction industry for applications such as wall sheathing, flooring underlayment, and subflooring. It can also be found in furniture manufacturing, cabinetry, and other interior finishing products.

Koivukuitulevy is known for its environmental aspects, as it utilizes wood byproducts and can be manufactured using sustainable forestry practices. The resulting panels are often recyclable. Depending on the specific manufacturing process and intended use, koivukuitulevy can be produced in different thicknesses and densities. Its moisture resistance can vary depending on any added treatments or finishes. It is a versatile material that offers a balance of performance and cost-effectiveness for numerous building and manufacturing needs.
