Find out more about our Plywood.

Plywood is constructed with wood veneers glued, bonded and then compressed together, normally with the grains running at right angles to each other. This makes plywood strong but also versatile in construction, being used for structural, interior and exterior environments.

The key benefits of plywood are;
Stability - due to it laminated structure it is very strong.
Impact resistant - can normally take up to twice its intended load in the short term. This is again due to its laminated structure that evenly distributes the load.
Dimensional stability - The cross laminated layers in plywood keep it the plywood sheet very rigid under stress, such as with changes in temperature and moisture.
Strength - Although relatively light plywood is very strong making it ideal for structural projects; flooring, formwork and beams.
Resistant to chemicals - Plywood does not corrode and can therefore be used in chemical environments due to its durability.
