Plywood

    Versatile & strong

    Plywood is robust, lightweight and offers unbridled scope for creativity due to its wide range of potential uses. CNC milling, diagonal and attractive furniture edges as well as curved structures are all a piece of cake with plywood. Its screw withdrawal and moisture resistance make plywood a versatile all-rounder when it comes to timber-based projects, while its solid-timber appearance also means an attractive finish.

    Cross-layer structure as the key to stability

    Plywood’s stability and resistance is due to the manufacturing technique used. Several thin layers (ply) of real wood are glued on top of each other alternately longitudinally and transversally. The result: this cross-laminating provides the board with consistent stability. This technique avoids the weak points, e.g. knots, intrinsic in solid timber. The minimal quantity of glue used means that plywood boards also have very low formaldehyde emission levels and are particularly suited for indoor use.

    Variable appearance

    Plywood is used both as a construction material as well as in the automotive sector – from trucks to aeroplanes. The diverse variants available mean that plywood or multiplex boards are also an important design element. Thermally modifiable plywood is the key to particularly impressive projects. The use of heat allows this plywood to be moulded one or two-dimensionally. This results in outstanding masterpieces with stunning designs.
