Plywood is an engineered wood product consisting of three to seven layers of thin sheets of wood veneer that are then glued together. Each veneer is laid with its grain at a right angle to the last (or tighter angles such as 45 degrees in some plywood). This is done to create a product with high dimensional stability that resists splitting and warping.
The core is any substrate that has a wood veneer ply on the face and/or back applied to it with an adhesive. There are many different types of cores, including medium-density fiberboard (MDF), veneer core, pro-core and particleboard core.
Plywood is graded A-D (best to worst) for its front face and 1-4 (best to worst) for its back. A1, A2, B1, and B2 are acceptable for applications where both sides will be seen, while A4 or B4 would be fine for projects where the back will not show.
Century Ply uses good quality raw material and also has rigorous quality checks at every stage to verify that the best product is going to the market.
Any grade is fine as long as it is compliant with the requirements. Generally, BWP grade with E1 emission rating may be used.
For moisture prone areas, BWR or BWP grade is recommended. For dry areas, MR grade may be used.
CenturyPly products are digitally printed to prevent duplication. Sainik products have a hologram sticker on the ply.
Plywood consumes much less timber as compared to the same natural wood requirement. Also, many different species of timber can be used for making plywood.
