The Debate Between Plywood and Multilayer Board | Similar Structures, But What Are the Differences?
Born to Meet the Demand
Wood is the only renewable material among the four major building materials.
With the advancement of technology, structural plywood has become a new favorite in construction. At the same time, a popular product in the home decoration field, solid wood multilayer board, has emerged.
Differences Between Plywood and Multilayer Board
What are the differences between plywood and multilayer board? Although they have different names, they actually belong to the same category of board. Multilayer board is a type of plywood, with some differences in manufacturing processes, but they are essentially the same in other aspects.
Multilayer board is generally made by first processing the inner layer pattern and then making it into a single-sided or double-sided substrate through printing. It is then laminated and bonded under specified interlayer heating and pressure.
Structural plywood is made by gluing and hot-pressing three or more layers of solid wood veneers or thin boards.
Applications of Plywood in Construction and Decoration
In fact, before multilayer boards entered the custom home furnishing market, plywood was already used in the decoration field. Due to its high strength and elastic modulus, and large cross-sectional dimensions, plywood is directly used in complete commercial roofing systems. Because plywood undergoes thorough drying and anti-corrosion treatment during processing and has good fire resistance, it is often used in medium to large public buildings such as clubs, schools, and gymnasiums, and is now also used in small residential buildings.
In addition to its application in building structures, treated plywood can perfectly blend with the natural environment and can even be sprayed to achieve different tones and patterns. These characteristics, combined with fashionable designs, bring a refreshing visual experience to home decoration. Plywood can, to some extent, replace the decorative function of multilayer boards.
