Colorply Doesn't Just Grow on Trees

Colorply's unique look comes from a very particular process that begins with top quality Obeche or Poplar logs. Grown in managed forests, these special woods are harvested, peeled, and clipped into leaves of veneer. The leaves are then stacked and dried, readying them for dyeing.

Colorply gains remarkable color consistency from precise dyeing, which requires time,a carefully controlled pressure level, and an exact temperature. This system allows the dye to completely penetrate the leaves, giving the lumber consistent color throughout.

The dyed leaves are assembled into stacks with adhesive before undergoing a sophisticated lamination process in a high-pressure press. When they emerge, the colorful blocks of Colorply are milled into 1 to 4 inch thicknesses, and are prepared for distribution nationwide.
