Homesmiths Plywood 9mm 2 x 4Ft.

Product Details

Engineered wood makers, furniture manufacturers, aficionados, and end users- everybody has at some point in their lives participated in this debate of solid wood vs plywood. While this is a pet topic for most enthusiasts, almost all believe that plywood has its own set of added advantages. That's why you must get the Homesmiths Plywood 9mm 2 x 4Ft.

Advantages of 9mm plywood which make it a clear winner for most applications:

Strength: As you are aware, wood is many times stronger along the grain than across it. Crossing the adjacent sheets tends to distribute the strength equally in all directions. When decorative laminates or wood veneers are applied on this cross-layered surface with adhesives like Phenol Formaldehyde or Urea Formaldehyde, the strength of a ply sheet becomes more than that of solid wood.

Lightweight: This 9mm plywood is far lighter than solid wood. This makes it more suited to crafting different types of furniture. Its area of application is wider than conventional wood, the weight of which often makes it unwieldy and unsuitable for use.

Non-splitting qualities: Although wood is tough, it has a tendency to split along the grain, under strain. But due to its cross-layered surface, a ply-sheet can withstand a greater amount of strain and hence, it can be nailed or screwed along the edges without damage.

Resistance to pest attack: Natural wood is prone to termites, and protecting the surface from such attacks is not easy. But this ply-sheet is pre-treated with anti-termite coatings that increase its longevity as well as gives it a cavity-free, smooth finish.

Environmentally safe: One huge advantage of this 9mm ply wood is that it results in the conservation of timber. Also, there is no worry of having to deal with the waste that is produced due to sawing.
