Working & Installation Tips:
Acclimatization: Allow the plywood to acclimatize to the project environment for 24-48 hours before bending.
Gradual Bending: Bend the sheet slowly and evenly to achieve the desired curve. Multiple layers can be laminated together for increased rigidity and strength.
Adhesive: Use a high-quality, flexible adhesive suitable for wood and the chosen finish (e.g., contact cement for laminates, wood glue for lamination).
Support: Provide adequate support during the bending and drying process to hold the shape until the adhesive cures.
Transform your vision into reality. With Archidply Flexible Plywood, the future of design is bent to your will.

Note: While BWR grade glue provides excellent moisture resistance for interior applications, Archidply Flexible Plywood is generally recommended for interior or semi-exterior sheltered use. For fully exposed exterior applications or marine environments, specialized exterior/marine grade plywood should be considered.
