The material is suitable for humid areas both indoors and outdoors. When the sheet is used in humid areas, it is important to countersink the edges and (screw) holes (at least 2 mm) and finish them well. This way, the sheet lasts extra long! In addition, the edges need extra attention and should be properly finished with an edge sealer. The top layer requires no further post-treatment. Birch can splinter during assembly. Use sharp tools and preferably screw at least 2.0 cm from the edges.
