Plywood is manufactured in many variations. Plywood is used to build furniture, cabinets, concrete forms or any other construction project that requires large, flat pieces of wood. Plywood is created by placing thin layers of wood with glue under extreme pressure in hydraulic presses to create a single sheet of wood. Softwood plywood is typically used for structural building and construction applications. Hardwood plywood is used for furniture and cabinets.
Exterior Plywood: The most common type of plywood, readily available at home centers. The glues used in exterior plywoods are much more resistant to moisture than interior plywoods. Once again, nearly all grades are available, with A-C, B-C and CDX the most common. Numerous hardwood species are also available in exterior varieties.
