Uses:
There are numerous companies that specialize in offering products ranging from Plywood and allied products like, Particle Board, Blackboard, Film Faced Ply, Laminates, various species of wood like Radiata Pine and Maranti, and other important timber products like Flush Doors and Door Frames.
Advantages:
1. Good uniform strength
Plywood is a strong material, especially if it’s made from strong woods (hardwoods) instead of the weaker woods (softwoods). It is quite easy to tear.
2. Can be used for making interior home furniture as well as exterior furniture.
Plywood is available in different grades such as MR grade (moisture resistant) for interior use, and BWR grade (boiling water resistant) for exterior use. So furniture that is likely to get wet, such as that in the kitchen or the garden can be made from BWR Water-proof grade plywood, while elsewhere such as in the living room or bedroom, the cheaper MR grade plywood can be used.
3. Available in large sizes compared to solid wood
Its very easy to get a nice looking uniformly thick 18 mm plywood sheet of size 8’x4′ (8 feet x 4 feet) from the market, but quite impractical to get solid flat wood of such a size (which tree could be cut and how?).
4. Economical use of wood by mixing various woods together
Some woods are prized for their beauty (teak, oak etc.) but are also costly. The veneers of such woods can be used to form the surface layer of the plywood, while the inner layers could be composed of other strong but cheaper woods.
5. Available in varieties such as flexible plywood.
Several interesting varieties have now come up in plywood. One of them is flexible plywood. It can be rolled up or bent to form curved surfaces and allows for more applications in furniture and home decor.
