BEST QUALITY HOOP PINE PLYWOOD, MARINE PLYWOOD, AND OTHER VENEERS OFFERING DIMENSIONAL STABILITY AND NATURAL CHARACTERISTICS

Plywood is used in furniture, structural, interior, and exterior projects because it helps to reduce the cost of wood-based projects. Plywood reduces the cost of any project because it is only a thin slice of wood. Instead of a full log of solid wood, plywood is glued over a low-grade material known as the substrate. MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) and particleboard are examples of substrates. As a result, plywood not only reduces project costs but also aids in environmental conservation by reducing the need for wood logs.

Furthermore, plywood can be curved and used on edges, resulting in a smooth finish on a wooden project with no rough edges. It can also be stained, polished, and painted to improve the overall appeal and appearance of your projects. Furthermore, the density of plywood is roughly equivalent to the density of the wood species used to make the plywood. In general, the higher the density of the wood used, the better the engineering properties of the plywood. The timber species used in the manufacture of plywood may also be chosen to provide a suitable substrate for achieving a high-quality finish.

Two of the most widely used plywood are marine plywood and hoop pine plywood. Let’s discuss the key features of these two plywood types.

HOOP PINE PLYWOOD Hoop pine plywood (Araucaria Cunninghamii) is a native Australian species found primarily in the forests of New South Wales and Queensland. It has a whitish colour and a straight grain with a fine to very fine texture. Hoop pine plywood is primarily used for walls and ceilings, but it can also be used for semi-exposed and exterior applications if the proper grade is used and finished properly. Other common uses for hoop pine plywood include furniture and fittings, interior wall panelling, and celling. A/C grade hoop pine plywood has a high-quality face and a lower-quality back, resulting in a consistent and uniform surface. B/B grade hoop pine plywood has a more natural appearance, with features like filled splits, swirling grains, and colour variations. Although B/B grade hoop pine plywood is suitable for use as a marine timber species, it is not recommended for high-end clear staining, but rather for a liming white coating.

Matilda Veneer produces high-quality hoop pine plywood with a high-grade face and a lower-grade back to reduce costs. It is important to note that interior hoop pine plywood should not be used in exterior applications that are subjected to wet or damp conditions.

MARINE PLYWOOD Marine plywood has been specially treated to resist water and moisture penetration. To ensure that the plywood can withstand harsh weather conditions and prolonged exposure to water and moisture, voids are removed and the plywood is stained. Marine plywood is used in boat building, ship construction, and kitchens because it does not warp or crack when wet.

Marine plywood is made with high-quality face and core veneers, which not only allow for a high-quality finish but also increase impact resistance and reduce water penetration through any knots in core veneers.

The top and best quality marine plywood The "AAA" grade marine plywood available from Matilda Veneer is made with the highestquality veneers throughout the panel. It is made only from the best logs from the selected species, which are selected based on density, bending strength, impact resistance, and surface finishing characteristics. Plantation hoop pine is commonly used in the manufacture of AAA marine plywood, which is a marine plywood species. AAA grade marine plywood has "A" grade face and back veneers, as well as "A" core veneers throughout, and is glued with a "A" bond.

Matilda Veneer also offers "O" grade marine plywood for overlaying or applications on fiberglass, which is a less expensive alternative to AAA grade marine plywood. O-grade marine plywood is made with an A-grade core and a "A" bond glue system.

Extensive range of veneer and plywood varieties to choose from In addition to hoop pine plywood and marine plywood, Matilda Veneer offers a diverse range of veneers and plywood for your creative and inspirational projects, including quarter-cut Amoora, black sappy bean, crown cut birch, quarter cut feature, quarter cut Tasmanian blackwood, and many more.

Architectural veneers such as sliced veneer, rotary veneer, enhanced veneer, and truewood veneer are also available. Matilda Veneer offers appearance grade panels such as hoop pine plywood, birch plywood, Fireply X, Matilda Lite Ply, and Matilda Ultralite. Matilda Veneer offers fire-rated solutions such as hoop pine FR panel, Matilda Fireply, and Matilda X. Matilda Veneer sources its marine plywood, hoop pine plywood, and other plywood varieties from plantations that are 100 percent sustainably managed. Matilda Veneer's plywood and veneer products all come with a Chain of Custody certification, which ensures that the products are stored and transported in standardised ways to maintain their integrity and originality. Cross lamination of veneer layers prevents movement across the grain caused by moisture and temperature changes, ensuring dimensional stability under temperature, moisture, and pressure changes.
