Plywood continues to be a winning material
Although plywood boards are usually present in the construction projects used as falsework or, on many occasions, to lift the closure of constructions or to make temporary ramps, in the carpentry sector, they are generally used for getting a better structure, to later be veneered or painted, that is, they are used as a hidden component. Despite being a material seldom exposed to sight or with a leading role, there are also furniture design and manufacturing workshops that increasingly choose it as the raw material for their creations.
PLYWOOD is a material that possesses physical properties that are considered superior in comparison to MDF and chipboards that today dominate the furniture market, and its performance is even superior in some aspects to solid wood, because in short, plywood is a true lattice of exceptionally firm solid wood, which prevents it from cracking or opening, while at the same time giving it flexibility and making it stable in its dimensions; In addition, it has a unique vein pattern on its faces and an unmistakable outline on its edge.
Although the plywood allows the versatility in uses mentioned, it also requires the appropriate choice of the versions available in the market according to the application to which it will be used:
- For use in the manufacture of furniture and wood finishes, such as structural applications and door panels, the use of Duraplay Interior Plywood is ideal, an excellent option to provide durability and support.
- For use as falsework in the construction industry, wooden structures, floors and ceilings, and even industrial packaging, Exterior Plywood is recommended. Duraplay offers a plywood option of these characteristics made with melamine-enriched exterior-grade resins.
- For coating applications such as thin sheets, thermally-fused laminates, among others, and manufacture of furniture with greater resistance requirements, Duraplay recommends Combined-Lamcore Plywood, made up of several layers of Ponderosa pine inside and MDF on its face and back, an attribute that adds surface uniformity and makes it the ideal material for these types of applications.
- Duraplay Plywood, in all its variety of specialized products for interior and exterior use, presents excellent behavior to machining, and low resistance to abrasion due to its composition of 100% ponderosa pine and urea-formaldehyde resins, specially designed by the chemical business unit of Duraplay.
