What is Plywood?

Plywood refers to an engineered wood product that is manufactured from thin layers of wood veneer of softwood, hardwood plastic, resin-impregnated paper, fabric, formica, which are glued together in adjacent layers to form a thicker and flat sheet. It is widely available as structural, external, internal, and marine plywood in different sizes, shapes, designs, colors, patterns, and textures. It is cost-effective, convenient, easy to use and lightweight; has an increased life span; and facilitates better binding of paints and dyes. It offers improved durability, flexibility, and high stability and strength as compared to other wood-based sheet products, such as medium-density fiberboard (MDF). It is a versatile material that does not warp or crack with changes in atmospheric moisture. It is resistant to exposure to chemicals and fire, insulation against sound and excessive heating, moisture, abrasion, and corrosion. It is also pliable and highly suitable for curved surfaces and does not split easily due to its cross-layered structure. It assists in reducing carbon footprint and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as it is an eco-friendly product. It also aids in providing a smooth surface, preventing water damage, and can easily hold screws. Besides this, it is beneficial in producing a variety of products conveniently and enhances the appearance of an item. As a result, plywood is widely employed in the marine, construction, manufacturing, and furniture industries across the globe.
