Plywood
Overview
Plywood is a high-performance engineered wood product made by bonding multiple thin layers (veneers) of wood together with adhesive under heat and pressure. Known for its strength, stability, and resistance to warping, plywood is widely used in furniture manufacturing, cabinetry, construction, and decorative paneling. It offers excellent structural integrity and is available in various grades to meet different functional and aesthetic requirements.
