Board Types
Plywood Options
The Shutterply, Pine Ply BC+, Pine Ply BB, and Pine Ply C+C are the different varieties of Plywood. These materials are constructed through layering thin sheets of wood veneer with each layer grain being bonded at right angles. This creates a thicker and stronger material as well as improving strength and stability of plywood when measured against the regular wood.
Features of Plywood Boards
- Plywood boards have excellent load-carrying ability because of their exceptional strength and durability, which comes from firmly glued layers of thin sheets. This also makes the boards resistant to cracking and splintering under compression or tension and bending forces. So, our premium Shutterply and Pine Ply BC+ will maintain the performance of your structural applications like flooring and wall sheathing.
- Plywood is resilient and ideal for medium and heavy-duty applications, even though it’s manufactured from pine timber, which is known for being a softwood.
- The surface finish and aesthetic appeal of Plywood boards is influenced by various grades. Boards type like Pine Ply BC+ grade have two sides of not the same surface texture, one face is fine and other is rougher, while Ply BB consists of smooth sides.
- These Pine Ply boards are lightweight, making them easier to work with and install in building and furniture projects compared to hardwood plywood.
Engineered Boards
These boards are made from pressing wood fibres using resin adhesive to create panels with a flawless and refined surface without timber grain texture. Our versatile boards can be used for different applications. For example, MDF Board (Medium-Density Fibreboard) is suitable for furniture, while Hard Board (High-Density Fibreboard) is commonly used for flooring.
Features MDF & Hard Boards
- MDF boards are highly flexible to work with, as well as painting because of their smooth and consistent surface. You can also effortlessly shape and cut engineered boards with standard woodworking tools without worrying about chipping them.
- Compared to MDF, Hard Boards are thinner and lighter but much stronger and durable because of their denser that helps it to withstand wear.
Bendy Ply & Marine Ply Boards
Our excellent Bendy Ply and Marine Ply boards are suitable for different construction applications and climate conditions. Bendy Ply boards are highly flexible in one direction because they are composed from materials that allow them to bend without breaking or getting damaged. This makes Bendy Ply ideal for projects requiring sturdy boards to handle curved shapes like decorative cladding. Marine Ply boards are perfect for exterior installations and coastal areas because they are made with waterproofing glue and premium veneers, which protect it against dampness and insect damage.
