Pro Tip
Use an 80+ tooth carbide blade or score first to eliminate chipping. Masking tape + sacrificial backer = flawless edges. Seal exposed edges with white edge banding for maximum durability. Clean only with mild soap and water.
FAQs
- Can I leave the edges exposed? Absolutely – the classic Baltic birch stripe is one of the most loved features.
- Will it chip during processing? Very minimal with proper tools/technique (carbide, scoring, tape & backer).
- How does it compare to big-box white melamine? Night and day – real birch core, thicker veneers, far superior strength and screw holding.
- How do I touch up small chips? A white acrylic paint pen blends perfectly.
