Plywood –IS 303-1989 - Meenal Jain - 07-22-2014

Veneer plywood is made from thin layers of wood (veneers) that are glued together at 90 degrees to each other. This makes the sheets very strong and very stable.

Ply which is brown in colour, splinters easily and is used for general making such as drawer bottoms and cabinet backs. Usually plywood is not used where there is water or damp as it destroys the glue but there is a plywood made with waterproof glue and is often used in boat building – hence it’s name of Marine Ply.

All plywood comes in large sheets (1220 by 2440mm or 8 feet by 4 feet) and the thickness is usually 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 25mm but other sizes are available.
