Exterior Hardwood Ply

Our Exterior Plywood is manufactured to AS/NZS 2271 from tropical hardwood veneers, using an “A” bond, WBP glue with high quality veneer selections for exterior non-structural applications requiring a high appearance grade face for painting or finishing.

The hardwood species used in manufacturing range from light weight to medium weight hardwood density timber species. Both faces are sanded to produce a durable surface ideal for exposed applications.
