Why Plywood? Simply because it outperforms all substitute wood-based panels on the market today. Plywood is a highly stable panel. When exposed to moisture or high humidity, plywood is up to seven times more resistant to thickness swell than substitute wood-based panels. Plywood also returns to its original dimensions when it dries. Plywood is stronger than substitute wood-based panels in the four important engineering strength properties of bending, tension, compression and planar shear and plywood weighs up to 40% less than substitute wood-based panels of equivalent thickness. Plywood is a highly impact-resistant panel and continues to perform even when wet. 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.

  1. 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.
  1. Plywood manufacturing, because it is a value added process, employs four times as many people compared to the manufacture of substitute wood-based panels - using the same volume of logs.
