More information about Plywood Sheets & Boards
Because of its versatility, plywood is one of the most-used sheet materials used in construction and building applications. At Selco, we offer a variety of plywood sheets and boards for your latest projects, covering a range of sizes, thicknesses and types to meet your needs and complete your job to the highest standard.
What is plywood?
Plywood is an engineered wood panel material made from several thin layers of wood veneer that are glued together, with each layer rotating the wood grain by up to 90 degrees. This cross-graining of the wood layers gives plywood boards several advantages such as consistent strength across the panel and making the wood less likely to split, shrink or expand.
Typically, a plywood sheet is made up of an odd number of layers to give it balance. Depending on the quality and cost of the plywood, the wood grain can either be rotated in consistent 90-degree or 45-degree blocks.
What are plywood sheets used for?
The versatility of plywood means it is used across a wide range of industries including building and construction, furniture making, interior design, and much more.
The high stress and exposure properties of plywood mean that it’s commonly found in structural applications such as partitions and external walls, formwork and beams. Its strength and durability also make it ideal for a variety of non-structural works including floors and boxing.
