Plywood Core Types

People have cherished the warmth and beauty of wood throughout the ages. Today, a variety of hardwood plywood products are available to meet your needs. Although most people think only of a veneer core product when hardwood plywood is mentioned, hardwood plywood actually refers to any panel product in which the face of the panel is made of hardwood veneer.

The hardwood plywood family of products includes panel products constructed with core material made from: veneer (softwood or hardwood, which may be of a different species than the panel face), lumber, medium density fiberboard (MDF), particleboard, other composite panels, or any combination of these core materials. Panels made with the various core types may differ from one another with respect to certain properties such as flatness, dimensional stability, screwholding ability, bending strength, and visual edge quality. The relative importance of specific properties in a particular application of the product help determine the appropriate core type that should be used.
