Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Raintree’s structural plywood from grades and warranties to applications and timber sourcing.
1. What is structural plywood used for?
It's used for load-bearing jobs like flooring, roofing, wall bracing, and formwork.
2. What is the difference between structural plywood and regular plywood?
Structural plywood is tested for load-bearing strength; regular plywood isn't.
3. Is structural plywood waterproof?
It's moisture-resistant with exterior-grade glue, but not fully waterproof unless specified.
4. What is structural plywood made of?
It's made from thin wood veneers (usually softwood like pine) glued together with waterproof phenolic resin under heat and pressure.
Features of Structural Plywood
Find answers to some of the most common questions regarding StructuralPlywood.
Structural plywood is engineered specifically for strength and reliability under load, setting it apart from standard plywood used for general or decorative purposes. It’s manufactured and graded to meet strict engineering standards, so it can be trusted in situations where safety and performance matter.
- Cross-laminated veneers: Thin wood veneers are bonded with grains running in alternating directions, giving the panel strength and stiffness in both directions.
- Warp and split resistance: The cross-laminated structure helps the panel stay flat and intact, even under stress or changing conditions.
- Weather-resistant bonding: Veneers are glued with exterior-grade phenolic resin, allowing the panel to handle moisture and outdoor exposure.
- Engineered stress grading: Each panel is tested and rated for load-bearing performance, so the right grade can be chosen for the job.
- Range of thicknesses: Available from roughly 12mm to 25mm, allowing it to be matched to specific load and span needs.
Applications of Structural Plywood
Because of its strength and durability, structural plywood is widely used in construction and industrial settings wherever a panel needs to bear weight or resist structural stress. Its versatility makes it a staple across residential, commercial, and heavy-duty projects.
- Flooring and decking: Forms a stable, load-bearing base beneath finished flooring or outdoor decking surfaces.
- Roof sheathing: Ties rafters together and provides a solid surface for laying roofing materials.
- Wall bracing: Adds rigidity to a building’s frame, helping it resist lateral forces like wind.
- Concrete formwork: Holds wet concrete in shape during construction, giving a clean, precise finish.
- Structural components: Used in manufacturing beams, I-joists, and other engineered wood products.
- Heavy-duty platforms: Applied in trailer flooring, shipping containers, and industrial platforms that need a strong, dependable surface.
