Why Plywood Surpasses Ordinary Wood in many Ways

by Tarun Sharma Author
Foreword:
Plywood is made of multiple thin individual sheets of wood known as veneer. These sheets of wood are fixed together applying a highly strong adhesive, and also by crossing the grains of wood layers in between. To make ply durable, strong and reliable, the thin sheets are pressed with utmost degree of pressure, under specific moisture content and temperature settings.

Adhesive: A great determiner in the manufacturing process of ply 
As far as the durability of a piece of ply is concerned, it depends upon the quality of adhesives utilised; be it plywood for furniture in India or any other purpose. Needless to say, a single piece of thin veneer is not very much strong by itself; but when many pieces of veneer are kept and pressed together, they make a tougher and stronger piece of ply, which is considered far better than ordinary wood.    

Prominent Varieties at a Glance  

There is a wide range of ply varieties produced by plywood manufactures in India. Some of the most significant and commonly used are:

  • Marine plywood 
  • Medium density fibre core hardwood
  • Lumber core
  • Medium and high density overlay:
  • Melamine.
  • Particle board core

Plywood V/S Ordinary Wood 

Among all these prominent types of ply, the best plywood companies in India guarantee that all of these are quite proven and superior on quality parameters when compared to ordinary wood. All this is, in the light of the fact that it comes with capacity to resist cracks, wraps, twists, and it rarely shrinks like an ordinary piece of wood which has nature of contraction and expansion when climatic conditions change. 

Conclusion:

Due to the myriad of features that it offers, plywood is heavily used in almost all walks of life right from commercial furniture, kitchen, doors, cupboards, drawers, to tables and chairs for home. It is also used for making marine products as it offers water resistance and toughness at the same time. Unlike regular timber, it can be cut very easily for different construction purposes and never requires polishing.

Well-known to be outstandingly durable, ply comes at lower cost, that’s why people around the globe opt for it in order to enhance and elevate the overall appearance of their home and office furniture.
