The Story
J Perkins 1.5mm 1mx100mm Sheet Balsa 5518008
Perfectly suited for cutting and sanding: high-quality balsa sheets offering the ideal density for fast construction and detailed components.
A-Grade Balsa Wood sheets are an essential substrate for high-precision model making, aeronautical design, and professional prototyping. Recognised for having the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any commercial timber, these sheets provide a lightweight yet structurally reliable surface. Each 915mm (36"") sheet is precision-cut to ensure uniform thickness and a consistent, straight grain, meeting the exacting standards required for architectural and industrial mock-ups.
Key Features:
- Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Delivers the structural integrity of a solid timber with negligible weight—an indispensable quality for both architectural massing and aerodynamic models.
- High Workability: Effortlessly easy to cut with a professional scalpel or craft knife. It is highly receptive to sanding, allowing modellers to achieve perfectly flushed joints and feather-edged transitions.
- Consistent A-Grade Quality: Selected for its straight grain and lack of defects, ensuring predictable behaviour when cutting, bonding, or finishing.
- Universal Finish: The smooth, open-grain surface is an excellent base for various adhesives, wood fillers, and paints, allowing for a high-quality professional finish.
