Plywood
Plywood is one of the most widely recognized multi-purpose engineered wood-based panel products used in construction projects.
What is Plywood?
Plywood is one of the most widely recognized multi-purpose engineered wood-based panel products used in construction projects. These thin sheets are glued together with the wood grain of each layer rotated up to 90 degrees from one another.
As a general rule, the thicker the plywood, the more plies it incorporates. Plywood is an engineered form of wood from the same wood family as MDF and chipboard but offers superior strength and durability to these materials.
By combining multiple thinner sheets of wood and through perpendicular placement of the grains, plywood can provide superb impact resistance and overall strength.
The Mick George Group have a a great range of plywood including marine plywood which is stronger than most ply and it is easier to mould, bend and cut than fibreglass.
Benefits of Using Plywood?
With its easy-to-use, fully reliable structure, plywood is a building material that most builders and DIYers find themselves reaching for in range of projects. Here are 4 different benefits to using Plywood:
- Strength & Durability – Plywood is among the strongest of all building materials. The strength is a result of individual grain layers placed perpendicular to each other bonded with glue under high pressure in the manufacturing process.
- Aesthetic Features – As well as impressive strength, plywood also forms a brilliantly clean and professional visual finish. Plywood panels are usually covered with solid wood to create a natural aesthetic that beautifully resembles the organic feel of real wood.
- Affordable – For a number of reasons, plywood is also seen as a brilliantly cost-effective building material option. The affordable price point is what appeals to a lot of builders and DIYers as although it is relatively cheap and budget-friendly, plywood still offers high levels of strength and durability.
- Lightweight – For all its strength, plywood is surprisingly much lighter than solid wood. That makes plywood easier to use for furniture-making.
Although plywood itself is very durable, many other factors come into play when it comes to durability. The plywood can last up to twenty years, sometimes even more.
But, if you regularly expose it to water (let alone leave it in the rain), the lifespan can drastically shorten.

For exterior projects or projects exposed to weather conditions, you need to use plywood that is suited for those conditions.

When it comes to strength, plywood is the winner. MDF is a softer material than plywood and tends to sag or split under pressure. That’s why it’s important to reinforce it if you’re going to using it to build shelves or other weight-bearing furniture.
