Commercial Plywood Plywood is usually constructed of rotary veneers glued together so that the direction of the grain in one veneer is at right angles to the adjoining veneer. There are
usually an odd number of veneer layers in plywood construction, e.g. 7,9,11,& 13. This layered construction makes for high strength, virtually eliminates risks of splitting, and removes the
weakening effects of defects, like knots, which can affect the strength of solid timber. Plywood has a high strength to weight ratio. Depending on the type and quality of adhesives, plywood can be made to meet exposed outdoor use - exterior grade. Or it can be bonded for less exacting indoor uses. The most common size of plywood as with other panels used is 2440mm (8') x 1220mm (4'). Plywood thicknesses range from 2.7mm up to 18mm. |
