Premium Grade Plywood: Your Foundation for Strength & Versatility

Discover the Power of Engineered Wood

Our premium plywood stands as the cornerstone for countless construction, woodworking, and DIY projects. Engineered from multiple thin layers (plies) of wood veneer, meticulously cross-banded and bonded with high-strength adhesives under intense pressure, it offers superior dimensional stability and exceptional resistance to warping, shrinking, and cracking. Whether you're building a sturdy structure, crafting fine furniture, or undertaking a home improvement project, our plywood provides the reliability and performance you need.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio: The unique cross-grain construction distributes stress evenly, providing remarkable rigidity, impact resistance, and load-bearing capacity far superior to solid wood of the same thickness.
• Superior Dimensional Stability: Engineered to resist warping, twisting, and shrinking, making it ideal for structural applications, precise paneling, and projects requiring high consistency.
• Unmatched Versatility: Available in a wide range of wood species, grades, and finishes to suit any project requirement, from utilitarian framing to decorative surfaces.
• Long-Lasting Durability: Built to withstand the test of time, offering reliable performance in diverse environments, especially when treated or of a suitable grade (e.g., marine-grade).
• Easy to Work With: Can be cut, drilled, routed, sanded, and fastened with standard woodworking tools. It accepts paints, stains, laminates, and veneers beautifully, allowing for a wide array of finishing options.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Offers an excellent balance of performance and price, making it an economical choice for large-scale construction and intricate designs alike.

Applications: Where Our Plywood Shines

Our diverse range of plywood is suitable for a multitude of uses:

• Structural Applications:
  • Subflooring, wall sheathing, roof decking
  • Concrete formwork
  • Load-bearing beams and joists (LVL/LSL are related engineered wood products)
• Interior Finishing:
  • Cabinetry, shelving, and built-in furniture
  • Wall panels, decorative screens, and door cores
  • Underlayment for various flooring types
• Exterior Projects (with appropriate grades/treatment):
  • Soffits and fascia
  • Sheds, temporary structures, and outdoor furniture
  • Fencing and garden beds (ensure exterior or treated grade)
• DIY & Craft:
  • Workbenches, storage units, and utility furniture
  • Models, jigs, and artistic creations
• Specialty Uses:
  • Marine Plywood: For boat building, docks, and high-moisture environments.
  • Aircraft Plywood: Lightweight and strong for aviation applications.
  • High-Density Plywood: For industrial flooring, truck beds, and other heavy-duty uses.

Explore Our Range: Grades & Types

We offer a comprehensive selection to perfectly match your project's demands, with various face and core veneer types and exposure ratings:

Plywood Grades (Based on Face & Back Veneer Quality):

• A-Grade: Smooth, sanded, paintable surface, virtually defect-free. Ideal for applications where appearance is critical.
• B-Grade: Solid surface with minor repairs (e.g., oval patches), tight knots, and minor discoloration. Good for high-quality finishes.
• C-Grade: Tight knots up to 1-1/2 inches, minor splits, discoloration, and patches. Suitable for structural and hidden applications.
• D-Grade: Larger knots and splits allowed, knot holes, and other defects. Ideal for utility, unseen applications, or where appearance is not a concern.
• CDX (C-D Exposure 1): A common structural grade, with a C-grade face and D-grade back. Made with exterior glue and suitable for intermittent moisture exposure during construction.

Common Types of Plywood:

• Softwood Plywood: Typically made from Pine, Fir, or Spruce. Economical, strong, and widely used for sheathing, subflooring, and structural applications.
• Hardwood Plywood: Features decorative face and back veneers from species like Oak, Birch, Maple, Walnut, Mahogany, or Ash. Prized for cabinetry, furniture, and interior decorative panels.
• Marine Plywood: Constructed with durable face and core veneers (often Douglas Fir or Okoume) and WBP (Weather and Boil Proof) exterior-grade glue. It's virtually void-free, resistant to fungal attacks, and ideal for boats and outdoor use in high moisture.
• Sanded Plywood: Available in various grades (e.g., ACX, BCX), these sheets are sanded on one or both faces for applications requiring a smooth finish.
• Structural Plywood: Specifically designed for load-bearing applications, often rated as CDX or similar, with an emphasis on strength and durability.
• Medium-Density Overlay (MDO) Plywood: Features a resin-impregnated fiber overlay on one or both faces, providing a smooth, durable, paint-ready surface. Excellent for signs, cabinet doors, and exterior applications.
• High-Density Overlay (HDO) Plywood: Similar to MDO but with a heavier overlay, offering even greater resistance to abrasion and moisture. Commonly used for concrete forms and industrial applications.

Technical Specifications (Typical - Varies by Product):

• Standard Sheet Size: 4' x 8' (1220mm x 2440mm)
• Common Thicknesses: 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" (6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm)
• Core Material: Poplar, Birch, Pine, Fir, mixed hardwood veneers (depending on type)
• Face/Back Veneer: Varies by grade and type (e.g., Oak, Birch, Fir, Maple)
• Adhesive: Moisture-resistant (MR) or Weather/Boil Proof (WBP) phenolic resin
• Formaldehyde Emissions: Typically compliant with CARB P2 / TSCA Title VI standards (low-emission).
