Plywood is a fundamental building block for many home improvement projects, from crafting beautiful furniture to creating sturdy walls and shelves. But with so many varieties available, choosing the right plywood can feel overwhelming. Don't worry, Plymarc is here to help!

Here's a breakdown of the key factors to consider when selecting plywood for your next project:

1. Understanding Plywood Grades:



Plywood grades denote their suitability for different applications. Here's a quick guide:

Commercial (MR): Ideal for interior applications in dry environments, like cabinets or furniture.

Moisture Resistant (MR): Offers some moisture resistance, suitable for kitchens and bathrooms with moderate humidity.

Boiling Water Proof (BWP): Withstands high moisture and boiling water, perfect for bathroom vanities, countertops, and outdoor projects.

2. Core Matters:



The core construction of plywood determines its strength and weight. Common core types include:

Softwood Core: Most affordable option, good for non-structural applications.

Hardwood Core: Offers superior strength and screw-holding capabilities, ideal for furniture and cabinets.

Mixed Core: Combines softwood and hardwood for a balance of affordability and strength. .

3. Importance of Face Veneer:



The veneer, or outer layer, of the plywood impacts its visual appeal and durability. Choose a veneer that complements your project's design and desired finish. Plymarc offers a wide range of high-quality veneer options to match your style.

4. Plywood Thickness Matters:



Thinner plies (4-6mm): Ideal for furniture backs, partitions, or curved applications

Medium plies (8-12mm): Suitable for shelves, cabinetry, and some wall applications.

Thicker plies (16-19mm): Perfect for high-load applications like countertops, structural supports, and platforms.
