Appalachian Traditions
 |
Appalachian Traditions offers the popular
lumber look, with plywood's great properties. Each panel is plank matched eliminating
the repetitive characteristics found in book matched offerings. Whether your project
is traditional or contemporary, the look of these panels is unique and full of natural
character that works with any style. They are available in popular maple, birch,
oak and now hickory and cherry.
Appalachian Traditions is separated into two veneer face collections. When the look is warmly bold or approachably traditional, the choice is Appalachian Traditions Heritage veneers. The Heritage Collection is created from heartwoods and sapwoods in both tight and open grain species, providing a rich, varied color palette and a strong range of almost rustic textures. Architects, designers, cabinet and furniture makers looking for smooth finishes and clean lines will find them in Appalachian Traditions Contemporary veneers. Using primarily sapwoods and close grain species with minimal allowances for burls and knots brings a uniformity to these styles that enhances its lighter palette. When the project calls for refined, lighter influences, Contemporary veneers deliver. To streamline regionalized shipping and service, Appalachian Traditions is produced in all regions of Columbia Forest Products' plywood production. And don't forget that when Appalachian Traditions is manufactured on veneer core platforms made with PureBond® Formaldehyde-Free technology, you can be assured that these panels are manufactured with both the environment and your interior air quality in mind.

Consistently Inconsistent. Plank matched veneers that replicate a true lumber look. Every sheet has a visually compatible appearance. The natural characteristics are well-distributed.
Five Hardwood Species. Appalachian Traditions is available in maple, birch, oak, cherry and hickory. Ash and poplar are available through special order.
Lumber Plank Match. Eliminates the repetitive look of traditional book matched veneers. No more "Machine Gun" effect of knots, burls or mineral in rows. This allows the wood grain to be predominate.
Finishing. Appalachian Traditions is 100% plank matched with tight side out. This will eliminate the "barber pole" effect that can accompany some book matched veneers. Eliminates shading due to tight side and loose side flitches in the same panels.
Shop Floor. No more presorting of panels, easing bottlenecks on the shop floor and increasing yields.
The Job Site. No presorting, for quicker completion of jobs and better end results.
Solid Wood Look. Plank matched to match solid lumber. Blends with doors and face frames. Overall appearance is pleasing with no panels looking too light or too dark.
Cost Reduction. Saves time and waste on the shop floor. Finishing is more consistent. Exchanging any damaged door in the field does not require a match to a light or dark area. A new Appalachian Traditions door can be sent with confidence.
