Flexible plywood has a specialised construction, allowing it to be easily bent to shape. The arc formed by the bend is perpendicular to the grain direction of the face and the exact bending radii have to be determined in accordance with the type of surface finishing required and the extent of the surface to be treated.
Flexible Plywood also know as bendy plywood, flexi ply or bendable plywood, is a form of plywood but it is extremely flexible and easy to bend by hand.
Thin plywood can be bent and forced to form curves, but with a decent pressure, it will split. However, Flexible Plywood is composed of layers of thin plies. The special construction of particular species of veneers gives it a large degree of flexibility, offers a most effective way to produce rounded columns and multi-curved structures.
Nowadays, Flexible Plywood is used extensively in furniture and shopfitting. Wherever curves are required, Flexible Plywood can satisfies the customers.
