Plywood

Plywood is a versatile building material used for various projects. It is made by glueing together thin layers of wood veneer, with the grain of each layer running perpendicular to the one below it. This cross-graining gives plywood strength and stability.


 * Hardwood Plywood: Made from hardwood veneers, this type of plywood is strong and durable, making it suitable for furniture, cabinetry, and flooring.


 * Softwood Plywood: Made from softwood veneers, this type of plywood is less expensive than hardwood plywood and is often used for construction projects like roofing and subfloors.


 * Marine Plywood: This type of plywood is specially treated to resist water and is often used for boat building and other outdoor projects.

When choosing plywood, it's essential to consider the thickness, grade and intended use of the material. The grade of plywood refers to its appearance and quality, with higher grades indicating fewer defects and a smoother surface.
