What are the different types of plywood available?

We offer various plywood types to suit different applications:

  • Commercial Plywood: Ideal for general construction and furniture making.

  • Film-Faced Plywood: Used for formwork in concrete construction due to its durability and smooth surface.

  • Marine Plywood: Resistant to moisture, suitable for boat building and outdoor applications.

  • Fire-Rated Plywood: Treated to resist fire, used in building interiors requiring fire safety compliance.

  • Decorative Plywood: Features attractive veneers for furniture and interior design.

How do I choose the right plywood for my project?

Selecting the appropriate plywood depends on factors like load-bearing requirements, exposure to moisture, and aesthetic preferences. For structural applications, opt for structural plywood; for moisture-exposed areas, consider marine plywood; and for decorative purposes, decorative plywood is recommended. Consult with our experts to determine the best fit for your specific needs.

What are the standard sizes and thicknesses of plywood sheets?

Our plywood sheets typically come in standard sizes of 4×8 feet (1.22×2.44 meters). Common thicknesses range from 3mm to 25mm, depending on the application. Custom sizes and thicknesses can be manufactured upon request to meet specific project requirements.

  3. Drying: Veneers are dried to a specific moisture content.

  4. Gluing: Layers of veneer are glued together with adhesive.

  5. Pressing: The glued layers are pressed under heat and pressure to form plywood sheets.

  6. Finishing: Sheets are trimmed, sanded, and inspected for quality.

Is plywood suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, certain types of plywood are designed for outdoor use. Marine plywood and film-faced plywood are treated to withstand moisture and are commonly used in outdoor construction and formwork. Ensure to select the appropriate type based on environmental exposure.
