Different Types of Plywood
In woodworking projects, the choice of wood is crucial. Understanding the following different types of plywood will help you choose the most suitable material for your upcoming project:
1. Exterior plywood vs. Interior plywood
As the name suggests, exterior plywood is mainly used for exterior surfaces, especially where an aesthetic or decorative effect is required. This plywood is not intended to withstand pressure or load. For example, it is often used in wall cladding and exterior walls. In contrast, interior plywood is designed for permanent structures that require high strength support. Can be used for ceilings, furniture and wall panels.
2. Structural plywood
Structural plywood is used to build permanent structures that require high strength. This type of plywood is ideal for beams, floors, support panels and formwork. It is usually made of hardwood or cork.
3. Marine plywood
Marine plywood is specially treated with anti-corrosion, varnish or paint and is designed to resist moisture and water damage. Suitable for applications requiring resistance to fungal erosion and water damage, such as shipbuilding. In addition, this plywood does not layer.
