Where Can You Use Antimicrobial Plywood?

Plywood has been the most versatile and historically preferred material for construction and interior decoration purposes. Its use dates back to as early as 2600 BC in ancient Egypt. However, the more industrial use of plywood only took off in the mid-19th century. Plywood was used extensively in railways and making packing cases, but soon it found its way into the homes of people.

Plywood today is used in making furniture, cabinets, stair steps, counters, and numerous other essentials.

Some of the features of plywood are mentioned below:

1.     It is available in different thicknesses, as per the need of the customer. The thickness of the plywood depends on the number of plies that are glued together.

2.     Plywood possesses high strength and is a very durable material. It has a great screw-holding capacity and resists splintering, warping, or bending.

3.     It is more affordable than solid wood and can be given a laminate finishing to give the same appearance.

4.     It is dimensionally stable due to its cross-grain structure, this ensures that the plywood doesn’t shrink or expand when the levels of humidity change.

5.     It is a more environmentally-friendly option than solid wood as there is minimal wastage of the wood log used and even in sawdust. 

CenturyPly has recently introduced antiviral and antimicrobial plywood. Plywood is not naturally resistant against any microbes or viruses, but this new ViroKill technology allows the plywood to effectively kill 99.99% of the germs that come into contact with it. It is enabled by the highly energized nanoparticles that kill viruses, bacteria, and fungi that come into contact with the surface.

You can use this plywood at different places in your home or office.
