Plywood
Plywood is made by combining layers of wood veneer, which are bonded together using a specialist adhesive. During construction, each layer of veneer has its grain rotated 90 degrees to the layer below it, to achieve cross-graining throughout the sheet. This is designed to maximise the strength of plywood sheets, and reduce the risk of the wood splitting, shrinking or expanding.
Plywood sheets are available in a wide range of different wood types, to suit different use cases and budgets.
These sheets feature in a wide variety of different use cases, including:
- Wall panelling
- Doors
- Sheds
- Fencing
- Furniture (such as shelves or cabinets)
- Roof deckings
- Subflooring
- Wall sheathing
- Temporary structures
OSB3 Sheet Board
OSB3 (Oriented Strand Board) sheet boards are another type of engineered sheet material. They are made by combining layers of strands of wood together using specialist adhesives.
OSB3 sheet boards boast high levels of strength and moisture resistance. This means that they can be used for structural purposes and in humid conditions.
As a result, they are widely used for both interior and exterior applications, such as in roof structures, or as wooden flooring in load-bearing and generally harsh conditions.
MDF Sheeting
MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) sheeting is another example of an engineered wooden sheet.
These sheets are made by breaking down residuals of wood into their fibres, then adding wax and a specialist binder, before using heat and pressure to form the mixture into panels.
Thanks to their affordability, easy workability, smooth finish and uniform strength, MDF sheeting can be used across a wide variety of different applications.
Its common uses include:
- Home decor (such as wall panelling)
- Doors
- Shelving
- Furniture (such as shelves or cabinets)
