FAQs

What does WBP grading mean?

WBP stands for Weather and Boil Proof. It indicates that the glue used to bond the layers is highly resistant to moisture and will not delaminate when exposed to water or high humidity.

Can this plywood be used outdoors?

While it has waterproof bonding and is suitable for humid conditions (EN636-2), it is primarily designed for interior use. For direct, prolonged outdoor exposure, a marine-grade plywood with specific weather-resistant treatments might be more suitable.

What is the B/BB grade?

B/BB grading refers to the quality of the face veneers. 'B' grade indicates a smooth, sound surface with minimal defects, while 'BB' indicates a repaired or lower-grade back veneer. This provides a good surface for finishing.

How should I cut this plywood?

Use a sharp saw blade, preferably a fine-tooth blade for a clean cut. A circular saw or jigsaw is recommended. Ensure the plywood is properly supported during cutting to prevent tear-out.

Can I paint or varnish this plywood?

Yes, the hardwood face is suitable for painting or varnishing after appropriate preparation, such as light sanding and priming if painting.

What are the dimensions of this sheet?

The nominal dimensions are 305x305mm (1x1ft) with a thickness of 25mm. Please note that the actual cut sheet size may vary slightly due to the cutting process.

Is this plywood suitable for structural applications?

Yes, its 25mm thickness and hardwood construction provide high strength and rigidity, making it suitable for applications like flooring, walls, and structural supports where load-bearing is required.

Troubleshooting

Plywood splitting during screwing

Pre-drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the screw diameter before driving screws.

Rough edges after cutting

Use a sharp saw blade, such as a fine-tooth circular saw blade, and ensure the plywood is securely supported during cutting.

Surface finish not as desired

Apply a suitable primer before painting or a high-quality varnish to achieve the desired aesthetic. Sand lightly between coats if necessary.

Warping or bowing

Ensure the plywood is stored flat and is adequately supported in its final application. Avoid exposure to extreme moisture fluctuations.
