Applications of plywood.

We hear it everyday, we want it and certainly this wood is trending now. Let's have a quick idea on the uses of plywood.
Plywood is widely manufactured as a softwood and hardwood, and is available in various grades of finish, depending on its intended use.

1. Exterior Wall Sheathing

Common wall construction on new homes. Plywood panels are used to fasten each stud together to add strength and prevent vertical or horizontal shifting, keeping the frames structure intact and square.
This technique forms a structure that performs well under high wind and during earthquakes due to its flexible properties.

2. Interior Walls
Certain types of plywood are good for wood paneling or framing interior stud walls.

In most cases, the plywood will not be visible for the final finish however, some highly finished A-graded plywoods are very good for facing inwards and can be painted or stained to give a stunning natural wood finish. Veneers are the latest trend in giving your walls a wood soul fashion.

3. Roofing and Flooring
Plywood is commonly used to sheath roofs and as a subfloor on many internal flooring projects.

On floors, plywood panels may include tongue-and-groove edges that slot together to allow them to carry the required load without shifting or movement whilst on roofs, they can act as a very durable and suitable skin prior to laying tiles, metal or any membrane suitable.

4. Other Construction

It’s not uncommon to find eaves and soffits covered with a plywood skin or made completely from ply.
Some plywoods are made specifically for use as a siding product to appear similar to reverse board and batten siding.

Builder contractors also commonly use plywood for constructing detached garages and sheds, for temporary floors and concrete forms.
5. Furniture - The best use.

Plywood can be a very practical and cost effective material for building furniture.

In situations where one side needs to look nice, a high grade plywood can be used whilst for the rest of the structure, a lower grade finish is fine.

Custom built dressers, wardrobes, built in media centres, shelves, bookcases, console tables… in fact, the list is practically endless!

6. Cabinets

Plywood is great for making cabinet carcasses for kitchens, bedrooms and more.

A good quality plywood is more than suitable for use on backs and sides of cabinets in most cases and is a far superior material to traditional chipboard or MDF as it lasts longer, doesn’t split and is far more durable.

7. General Projects

Due to its versatility, plywood is great for many other home projects from building skateboard ramps, to rabbit hutches to doghouses. ( Latest possibilities)

Home DIYers love plywood as it is ideal for building useful items including workbenches, simple step-stools and storage bins.

It’s a great product and is available in a wide range of thicknesses and grades, ranging from exterior with exposure to moisture to interior dry application.
It always produces an excellent, strong finish and doesn’t cost the earth.
