Understanding Plywood

Plywood is a composite made by combining three or more pieces (veneers) of wood together. The three most common types are three-ply plywood, five-ply plywood, and multi-ply plywood. As you can guess from the names, these plywood varieties have three, five, or multiple veneers, respectively. Plywood is common for interior and exterior construction work due to its comparative strength and lightweight versatility. Because plywood is made from three or more boards, it can be very difficult to cut through and can easily splinter on the edges during transportation. Once installed, plywood should be finished with laminate or veneer.
