Study Notes
Plywood Overview
- Plywood is a widely used engineered wood product in India for furniture, walls, floors, and other carpentry projects.
- It's constructed from thin layers of wood veneer glued together, with each layer's grain perpendicular to the adjacent one.
- This cross-graining significantly improves strength and stability, reducing warping and cracking compared to solid wood.
- Plywood exhibits versatility, with various grades, sizes, and thicknesses for diverse applications, from structural (sheathing, flooring, roofing) to decorative (furniture, cabinets, paneling).
Plywood Properties and Advantages
- Durability: Suitable for partition walls requiring load-bearing capacity and impact resistance.
- Ease of Work: Easily cut, shaped, and installed, allowing for flexibility in construction and design.
- Dimensional Stability: High-quality plywood resists warping, shrinking, and expansion due to humidity or temperature changes.
- Fire Resistance: Plywood can be fire resistant under some conditions.
- Surface Finish: Smooth surface typically allowing for painting, staining, or laminating for aesthetic enhancement.
- Uniformity: Plywood is manufactured to be uniform in strength and appearance compared to natural wood. This allows for predictable results in different applications.
Plywood Applications
- Panels and Screens
- Vinly Products
- Partitions
- Furniture
- Wall Cladding
- Ceilings and Cladding
Plywood Cost
- 6mm thick plywood starts at 38 rupees per square foot.
- 9mm thick plywood starts at 47 rupees per square foot.
