classified colouring process

At CWP, we combine sustainable practices with innovative technology. Our low-impact through-colouring process delivers advanced colour performance while supporting responsible material use. The result is years of engineering expertise and continuous development.

Using carefully controlled colouring techniques free from harmful substances, we dye carefully selected, FSC®-certified Nordic white birch veneers sourced from sustainably managed forests.

from birch to brilliance

We are proud to offer designers and manufacturers the world’s finest birch that leaves a lasting impression. In our non-toxic process we use premium hardwood, Nordic white birch, in its natural, unbleached, form to craft our world-class products.

Nordic white birch is a reliable choice even for the most demanding needs, being technically superior to softer woods.

Why we use birch

for demanding needs

Nordic white birch is a reliable choice for demanding applications. Its high density, strength and hardness provide superior mechanical performance compared with many softer wood species.

In addition, CWP's exclusive process maximises material efficiency and durability while delivering vibrant, lasting colours that penetrate the entire thickness of the wood. The durable finish ensures a long product lifespan, as surfaces can be sanded and renewed without colour loss.

a sustainable choice

The FSC®-certified Nordic white birch we use is harvested from sustainably managed forests. Through-coloured veneers can replace endangered tropical woods like merbau or wenge, offering custom tones through responsibly sourced Nordic birch.

Local sourcing is a fundamental part of our approach to responsible manufacturing. We source our birch from Northern Europe, keeping transportation distances as short as possible. This helps reduce transport-related emissions and keeps the carbon footprint of our products as low as possible

unique shimmer

Birch possesses an inherent cellular structure that enables exceptional light refraction, giving the material its characteristic visual depth and natural luminosity.

This effect is further enhanced by CWP’s proprietary colouring process, in which pigments penetrate the full thickness of the wood rather than remaining only on the surface.

How we use birch

every birch veneer matters

In traditional decorative birch veneer production, only the lightest outer layers of the log are typically selected, while the remaining veneer grades are often overlooked.

At CWP, we take a different approach. We utilise every birch veneer grade, ensuring that the material is used efficiently and responsibly.

For example, our CWP Interior Veneer LNR is produced using the full range of birch veneer grades.

Alongside the premium light veneer, we also incorporate knot areas and the naturally darker heartwood tones. This approach maximises the value of every birch log while creating distinctive surfaces with authentic character and a more efficient use of raw materials.

classified colouring method

Our unique through-colouring process is designed with both performance and environmental responsibility in mind. We use water-based dyes and environmentally conscious methods that are free from harmful substances.

Carefully selected birch provides the ideal foundation for through-colouring. Our expertise lies in precise colour control throughout the dyeing process, ensuring consistent, long-lasting colour throughout the veneer and reliable quality from batch to batch.

optimising every stage of production

Our production methods are designed to utilise raw materials efficiently while maintaining the high quality and durability of the final product.

We focus on the efficient use of materials: Our goal is to ensure that all materials are utilized and best possible yield is achieved. By removing and patching knots in birch veneer, we can use also this part of the valuable material for suitable applications.

Our controlled drying process ensures every veneer sheet reaches the optimal moisture level for its end use. The result: stability, strength, reliable bonding, and a visually consistent surface.

Quality control is part of every batch. Both industrial and consumer customers especially value the consistent quality of our material — meaning it is dry and easy to work with. This helps reduce production risks and material waste.
