Plywood is manufactured in many variations. Plywood is used to build furniture, cabinets, concrete forms or any other construction project that requires large, flat pieces of wood. Plywood is created by placing thin layers of wood with glue under extreme pressure in hydraulic presses to create a single sheet of wood. Softwood plywood is typically used for structural building and construction applications. Hardwood plywood is used for furniture and cabinets.
Plywood has over 50 years of proven service as a structural panel for homes and construction and remains, according to surveys, the panel of choice by home buyers, contractors, architects and engineers. Plywood is manufactured from logs averaging 10 inches in diameter from managed sustainable forests. 100% of the log is utilized for either veneer, or by-products, such as 2x4 lumber, landscaping ties or chips for pulp and paper. Nothing is wasted.
