Poplar Wood Wall Panels 5/4X6

Poplar wood, known for its versatility and affordability, offers several advantages for various construction applications. It is a widely used hardwood that provides durability and ease of use. Here are the specifications for Poplar wood:

Species: Populus

Appearance: Poplar wood typically has a light, creamy to yellowish color with a straight grain pattern. It features a uniform texture and can be easily stained or painted to achieve the desired aesthetic.

Tree size: Poplar trees can grow to a height of 100-165 feet (30-50 meters), with a trunk diameter ranging from 2-4 feet (0.6-1.2 meters). 

Average Dried Weight: The average dried weight of Poplar wood is around 30-35 lbs/ft3 (480-560 kg/m3), making it relatively lightweight compared to other hardwoods.

Specific Gravity (Basic, 12% MC): 0.45-0.50

Janka Hardness: Poplar wood has a Janka hardness rating of approximately 540 lbf (2,400 N), indicating its relatively softer nature compared to some hardwoods.

Modulus of Rupture: The modulus of rupture for Poplar wood is approximately 9,800 lbf/in2 (67.6 MPa), which demonstrates its good bending strength.

Elastic Modulus: The elastic modulus of Poplar wood is around 1,540,000 lbf/in2 (10.6 GPa), indicating its ability to resist deformation under stress.

Crushing Strength: Poplar wood exhibits a crushing strength of approximately 5,200 lbf/in2 (35.9 MPa), highlighting its ability to withstand compressive forces.

Shrinkage: Poplar wood has a moderate shrinkage rate, with radial shrinkage averaging around 4-5% and tangential shrinkage around 8-10%.

Workability: Poplar wood is known for its excellent workability. It is relatively easy to saw, nail, and glue. It also responds well to machining and sanding, allowing for smooth finishes.

Preservation: While Poplar wood is not naturally resistant to decay and insect attack, it can be effectively treated with preservatives to enhance its durability and resistance to these issues.

Sustainability: Poplar trees are generally fast-growing and widely available, making them a sustainable option for wood sourcing. Proper forest management practices ensure the responsible harvesting of Poplar Wood Wall Panels.
