The for information on Structural Plywood (CD), Non-Structural Plywood (CD) & Hardwood Bracing Plywood (F22)
Structural Plywood (CD)
Structural plywood is an engineered wood panel designed to be a high-strength sheet for use in general structural building and construction, subject to an application’s load bearing requirements.
Structural ply is commonly used as an untreated panel, but is also available in treated variants, typically H2-S, H2 or H3.
Whilst versatile in its use, structural plywood is manufactured first for its structural properties rather than aesthetics, and as such the face veneer may have some puttied splits and knotholes.
Applications Domestics & commercial building
Hoardings & barricades
Cubby houses
Cabinetry & displays
Pallets, crates & boxes
Strip flooring underlay

Non-Structural Plywood (CD)
Non-structural plywood is an economical plywood sheet for use in a broad range of applications from hoardings to furniture and wall linings.
Made with an A bond glueline to give it durability and performance. Non-structural ply is well suited to painting or staining.
Non-Structural ply is commonly used as an untreated panel, but can also be supplied in treated variants such as H2-S, H2 or H3 when required for long term outdoor use.
Whilst having some properties in common with structural plywood, non-structural ply is neither manufactured to or tested against Australian Standards and carries no F rating. Therefore it is important that non-structural ply is only used in non-structural or non-load bearing applications.
Whilst versatile in its use, non-structural plywood is manufactured to be a low cost plywood panel and as such the face veneer may have some puttied splits and knotholes.

Bracing Plywood
Hardwood Bracing Plywood (F22) is suitable for use in wall and roof bracing applications. Using bracing in timber framed buildings affords designers the opportunity to incorporate large openings and areas of glass in external walls or additional wall strength for cyclonic areas.
Whilst only visible for a few weeks during the construction phase, bracing ply helps provides protection from wind damage for the life of the building.
Made from mixed species hardwood sourced from legally harvested resources and an A Bond glueline to comply with AS2269. F22 Hardwood bracing plywood can be supplied in untreated and H2-S treated (i.e. against termites) variants.
It is important that all fixing of brace ply adhered to the Building Code of Australia and AS 1684 – Residential Timber Framed Construction Code.

SUBSTRATES
We manufacture five unique substrates that provide superior quality and performance for every application, including custom needs.
MEDIUM-DENSITY FIBERBOARD CORE
Our medium-density fiberboard core can be machined to the finest tolerances without chipping. It provides an exceptional laminating surface that is smooth, hard and consistent throughout the panel.
PARTICLEBOARD CORE
Our specially engineered particleboard core provides the perfect density on the face and back to accept laminates of all kinds, and a core that delivers physical properties to make it a workhorse for many applications.
PRO-CORE MDF
Pro-Core MDF uses MDF crossbands and a veneer core interior to deliver the best performance of any core material we offer. The MDF face and back offer the best laminating surface, and the veneer core delivers the best physical properties andlighter weight.
VENEER CORE
We manufacture one of the industry’s finest softwood veneer cores using trees harvested from responsibly managed forest lands and peeled at our facility. The quality of our softwood veneer yields a core that is consistent in thickness and a wood veneer laminating surface that is second to none.
