Wood has been a popular building material since the beginning of humanity. Numerous evidence suggests that, since our beginnings, humans have used different types of natural resources to facilitate our lives and improve processes.
Currently, humanity’s efforts to search for sustainable and quality materials have managed to popularize Paulownia wood in the construction, carpentry and much more industries. The characteristics of the Paulownia tree in life, also called “Tree of Life” or “ Kiri ”, give unique properties to the wood derived from it. It is especially sought after for being light, resistant and manageable when working with it.
Despite being known and used in countries on the Asian continent for a long time, it can be said that its use is relatively new in the European wood and construction market. The use of wood and the planting of Paulownia varieties for commercial purposes in Europe is increasingly common.
The wood that results from Paulownia has a characteristic that differentiates it from all known varieties of wood. It is very water-repellent! Without any type of artificial treatment, the position of the molecules that make it up allow it to be a material that absorbs very little moisture . This differentiates it considerably from other woods, as it prevents it from swelling or contracting in the presence of liquids.
Did you know that Paulownia wood is known as the “aluminum” of wood? Yeah! This comparison is born from the low weight and lightness of the wood obtained from the Paulownia tree combined with its stability. These characteristics make it a very resistant and easy to work material; just like aluminum compared to other metals.
Historically, interior design with natural wood has been considered a sign of luxury and good taste. The variety of our products is designed to give a touch of luxury and originality to your spaces, combined with functionality and durability.
All wood products and the different varieties of Paulownia wood that we sell are sawn by our company Paulownia Professional SL. These are not harmful to health and comply with the European quality standard.
It is a product of deep wood processing. Gluing makes it possible to significantly reduce wood costs, maximize the use of sawn wood and offer new types of high-quality products to the market. Glued furniture boards have significant advantages over other structural materials used for furniture production.
Paulownia wood has a very beautiful, fine-grained, light texture, often with a delicate honey or reddish sheen. This product is a part that can complete dimensions of fence supports and other DIY jobs. They are made with several slats of Paulownia wood, and their transformation and gluing process gives the wood additional resistance.
Paulownia plywood is the most common laminated plywood. For the production of plywood, uncoiled Paulownia veneer is used. Plywood consists of several layers of veneer tightly glued in thickness, and the directions of the fibers in the adjacent layers of veneer are generally perpendicular to each other.
However, special types of plywood are also produced, designed for greater resistance to bending and twisting. These products are glued together so that the directions of the veneer fibers are located at different angles (30°, 45° and 60°) with respect to adjacent layers or any edge of the sheet.
Compared to sawn wood, it has less anisotropy. The physical and mechanical properties of wood are more evenly distributed in the volume of the wood sheet, making it less prone to swelling, shrinkage, warping and cracking .
For the manufacture of these panels, Paulownia wood is used, which has gone through several stages of processing and production. Our Paulownia sandwich panel is made with a slat core covered with a thin veneer of Paulownia , poplar or other wood as per your request on both sides, which improves its quality and gives elegance to the product.
Paulownia sandwich panels are not inferior to ordinary wood in terms of heat and sound insulation properties. Therefore, you can always be sure that using Paulownia sandwich panels will make your spaces comfortable and welcoming.
Paulownia Multilayer Laminate Board consists of several layers of slat boards. These layers are glued together, so that there are two layers in a longitudinal direction and the middle one in a transverse direction successively, to increase its resistance.
This board is basically made of a Paulownia wood core and has two outer layers covering it that are composed of phenolic resin. It is a good combination between the quality and lightness of Paulownia wood with the durability and style that gives it an impeccable finish and makes it easy to maintain. It is a resistant and very long-lasting product.
Due to its lightness and unparalleled resistance, the wood of the Kiri tree is used to manufacture this type of products. They are manufactured manually and from slats of equal proportions, 2 centimeters thick, glued vertically.

It is a type of Paulownia wood sheets. The specificity of these Paulownia wood sheets is that they are cut in layers as thin as possible. The word “veneer” itself comes from the German word “spene” – splinters, and in fact the thickness of veneer sheets resembles thin splinters.
It can be obtained through two methods:
The thickness of the sheet varies from 0.5mm to 5mm. It works like a coating adhered to another material, in order to give it the appearance of natural wood. In addition, veneer is a semi-finished product for the manufacture of plywood and bakelite plywood (delta wood).
10.1 Types of Paulownia veneers
This type of wooden piece is characterized by being planed by means of recesses and having particular edges, which can be grooves or tongues. Likewise, the union of these two different pieces creates the system called “tongue and groove”, achieving a smooth and uniform surface with the union of the pieces.
To make this product, first, you have the pieces of wood with their grooves or tongues and, later, a laminate is placed. Laminate is a coating composed of layers of paper impregnated with thermosetting resins, giving it the opportunity to offer a completely different finish and variability of colors.
