Structural Hardwood Plywood

Structural Hardwood Plywood is a very stable and strong type of plywood manufactured to the AS/NZS 2269 standard for hardwood veneers. Structural plywood comes with a minimum stress rating of F14 and is common in F17 and sometimes up to F22.

Veneers are bonded with Type A resin produced from phenol formaldehyde that sets permanently under controlled heat and pressure and will not deteriorate under wet, heat or cold conditions. Only phenolic glued Type A bond plywood is recommended for areas of doubtful moisture conditions.

Grading is C/D, C face (solid face with filled defects) and D back (open defects).

Intended applications are structural and wall bracing (manufactured to the AS/NZS 2269 and NZS 3603 Building Code), other possible applications include general building, industrial, cabinetry, shop fittings, furniture, flooring and areas requiring a finish that is durable and strong.
