To begin with, plywood is an engineered wood product made by gluing together thin layers (or “plies”) of wood veneers, with each layer rotated for added strength. As a result, it offers high durability and resistance to cracking, warping, or shrinking—making it ideal for both structural and decorative purposes.
In addition, plywood comes in different grades, thicknesses, and core types, depending on where and how it will be used.
