How to Choose plywood?

Let us look at these points, which can guide you in the selection process

Area of use

When choosing plywood, it is paramount to understand the area of use. Make sure that we choose only the highest plywood quality for areas such as the kitchen, toilets, and outdoors. As these are prone to water damage and in some events even fires. 


Stockist or Big wholesaler?

We all know plywood prices at wholesaler are lesser than retailers. But there is also some more benefits like you will get chance to choose from different types of plywood at one place. These wholesalers always maintain different type’s plywood like MR Grade Plywood, Waterproof plywood and Gurjan Plywood. Suppose you select MR grade plywood, then at these places you will get chance to see hundreds of MR Plywood sheet & easily judge quality of plywood by comparing with other. You can check lots of other factor of plywood by looking at it. And at retailer they make you select from trade sample or from one sheet, but at stockist you will see full plywood sheet.


Physical Checks

When selecting the best plywood quality, always look at the physical integrity of the plywood.

  • Make sure that the surface is smooth, with very little ups and downs.

  • Check the sides of the plywood to ensure that thickness is even.

  • Look at the veneers, to ensure that veneers are not overlapping and that there are minimal core gaps.

  • Knock on the center of the plywood and make sure that there isn’t a hollow sound at the center of the plywood or on the sides.

  • Make sure that there is no bending of the plywood. Bending plywood is a sign of weakness.


Ask for sample pieces of the plywood:
