Plywood - Overview
Plywood is a versatile engineered wood product commonly used in the building and construction sector and furniture making. It is made by layering thin sheets of wood, known as veneers, with their grains oriented at right angles to one another and bonding them with adhesive. This cross-grain construction enhances plywood's strength, stability, and resistance to warping. Plywood comes in various grades and thicknesses, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from sheathing in buildings to crafting cabinets and decorative panels. It is known for its cost-effectiveness, durability, and ability to withstand moisture, making it a popular choice for diverse woodworking and structural projects.
