Choose thin Baltic Birch for a specified thin-panel job
Plan supported thin parts
Use this panel for cabinet backs, drawer bottoms and lightweight components when your design specifies 5 mm Baltic Birch. Check support, captured edges and loading rather than treating the thickness name as a load rating.
Allow for the unfinished BB/BB faces
Both birch faces are sanded and unfinished. BB/BB grading permits sound patches. Review the appearance before choosing a clear finish, and follow the finishing product instructions for the intended application.
Match your machining to 5 mm material
A 5 mm panel and a nominal quarter-inch panel are not interchangeable in a groove. Measure the supplied sheets before machining; check support and finish requirements as well as the nominal thickness.

Questions about 3/16″ plywood
Is 3/16-inch Baltic Birch the same as 5 mm?
This catalog sells the 5 mm option under a nominal 3/16-inch label. The figures are not exact unit conversions: an exact 3/16 inch is 4.7625 mm. Use the listed specification and measure the supplied panel for fit.
Is the 3/16-inch sheet prefinished?
No. It has sanded, unfinished birch faces. It is neither UV-coated nor melamine-faced. Choose and apply the finish required for your project.
What does BB/BB mean?
Both faces are BB grade, which permits sound patches. The two faces are usable but should not be described as patch-free B/B faces.
Can I use the same ply count as the thicker Baltic sheets?
Do not apply the 13-ply or 15-ply specification of a thicker panel to this 5 mm variant. Confirm the thin-panel construction when your project calls for a particular ply count.
