FAQ's

Is hardwood plywood waterproof?

No – Hardwood plywood offers water resistance, not waterproofing. When exposed to water, it can swell and the veneer layers may delaminate. Though not inherently waterproof, many types can be treated to withstand moisture, making them viable for kitchen cabinets and bathroom furniture. However, since sustained dampness causes damage, protecting the material from excessive water exposure remains essential.

How strong is hardwood plywood?

Significantly stronger than solid wood. The cross-bonded veneer layers create exceptional structural stability. Perfect for load-bearing applications, furniture frames, and construction projects requiring durability.
