NC is proud to carry one of the largest plywood product inventories in the market and carrying all available grades and species to service a wide range of construction, manufacturing, and industrial applications.
Marine grade plywood is built for strength, durability, and weather resistance. The construction of it allows it to be highly resistant to moisture, rot, and swelling, making it ideal for wet applications. Extremely versatile, it can be used for projects like boat building, outdoor furniture, and other applications in wet environments.
Fire-rated plywood is pressure-treated with fire-retardant chemicals that slow the spread of flame and limit smoke. It lets builders use wood where codes call for reduced surface burning, including roof assemblies, partitions, and commercial interiors. Fire-rated panels are a core Nicholson Cates specialty, and we keep common thicknesses in stock so projects pass inspection and stay on schedule.
Baltic Birch plywood is uniquely manufactured with multiple plies of Birch veneer used uniformly, throughout the panel. Each layer of birch veneer is peeled at 1.3mm or 1.5mm thickness giving the panel a multi-ply edge that is both aesthetically attractive, and offers unmatched strength and stability.
Baltic Birch is available in a wide range of standard thickness variations from 3mm to 25mm, and sheet sizes of 5’x5’, 4’x8’ and 10’x5’. Special thickness and tolerances are available for laminating face veneers on cross grain platforms and for flat die board applications. Baltic Birch plywood offers a virtually void-free construction to help reduce reject rates and offers great machinability and tremendous screw holding strength.
Hardwood Plywood combines the strength of an engineered panel with the beauty of real wood. Available in premium veneers such as Maple, White Oak, Red Oak, Birch, Cherry, and Walnut, it’s ideal for projects that demand both durability and elegance.
