PLYWOOD

The term "commercial" in commercial plywood refers to its common use in commercial and residential projects where aesthetics and high-end finishes might not be the primary concern. Instead, commercial plywood is valued for its durability, strength, and relatively economical price point compared to other types of plywood, such as marine plywood or furniture-grade plywood.

What is Commercial Plywood?

Commercial plywood is a type of plywood that is widely used in various construction and interior design applications. It is a versatile and cost-effective building material made by bonding together layers of wood veneers, typically from hardwood or softwood species. These veneers are arranged with their grain directions alternating at right angles to enhance the overall strength and stability of the plywood sheet.

How to Make Plywood

The production process of plywood is intricate and involves several crucial steps to create a versatile and durable wood-based panel. This process begins with the careful selection of logs, debarking and peeling of logs, drying, veneer jointing, lay-up, cold pressing,hot pressing, paving,cutting and sanding. Each step is carefully executed to yield plywood panels with consistent quality, strength, and versatility, making plywood a fundamental material in various industries, including construction, furniture manufacturing, and interior design.

WHAT WE OFFER

Direct Laminate Quality Plywood

Direct laminate is to directly laminate the melamine paper on plywood. It has high requirements on the flatness of the plywood. And also in the melamine laminating process,it requires high control technology in pressure, temperature and hot pressing time.

Composite Laminate Quality Plywood

Composite laminate is to laminate the melamine decorative paper and veneer or kraft paper or non-woven fabric together first, which is our laminate material, and then the composite material is laminate on the plywood. It does not have high requirements on the flatness of the plywood surface and the technical skills of the workers.

Plywood Difference

Furniture use

Construction use

Difference	Furniture use	Construction use
Composition	Plywood designed for furniture typically has a higher quality core made from hardwood veneers. These veneers are selected for their smooth and consistent grain patterns, as well as their visual appeal since they are often exposed in the final product. The core layers are usually thinner and more tightly packed to provide a stable and flat surface.	Plywood designed for furniture typically has a higher quality core made from hardwood veneers.

Quality Standards	Plywood meant for furniture goes through a higher level of quality control. Manufacturers ensure that the veneers used for the core are of consistent thickness and free from defects. This results in a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing surface.	Construction-grade plywood is manufactured with structural integrity as the main focus. While it may meet certain quality standards, appearance-related imperfections are generally more acceptable since it's often covered by other materials in construction.
Surface Finish	The surface of furniture plywood is often smoother and more refined, making it suitable for staining, painting, or veneering without requiring extensive preparation.	The surface finish of construction plywood is not a primary concern, as it's often used as a subfloor, roofing, or structural element where appearance is less important.
Applications	well-suited for crafting fine furniture, cabinetry, decorative panels, and other interior design applications where aesthetics are crucial.	used for a wide range of structural applications such as walls, roofs, floors, formwork, and temporary bracing.
Cost	Furniture-grade plywood tends to be more expensive	Construction-grade plywood is generally more cost-effective due to its focus on strength and utility over aesthetic
