FAQs

What does EN636-2 standard mean?

The EN636-2 standard indicates that the plywood is suitable for use in humid conditions, offering better moisture resistance than standard interior grades but not intended for continuous external exposure without proper sealing.

Can this plywood be used outdoors?

While it is rated for humid conditions, for outdoor use or prolonged moisture exposure, it requires adequate sealing with a waterproof finish or paint to prevent damage and delamination.

What is the actual size of the sheet?

The nominal size is 915mm x 610mm. Please note that due to the cutting process, the actual cut sheet size may vary slightly due to the loss of blade width.

Is this plywood structural?

No, this is a versatile non-structural wood panel. It is suitable for joinery, shelving, and linings, but not for load-bearing applications where structural integrity is critical.

How should I finish the hardwood face?

The smooth sanded face can be painted, varnished, lacquered, or covered with laminate. Choose a finish appropriate for the intended use and environment.

Where is this plywood sourced from?

The plywood is sustainably resourced from managed forestry operations.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cutting cleanly

Ensure your saw blade is sharp and suitable for cutting plywood. Consider using a fine-tooth blade and a guide for straighter cuts.

Screws not holding firmly

Pre-drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the screw diameter. For extra strength, use wood glue in the pilot hole before inserting the screw.

Surface appears rough after cutting

Lightly sand the cut edges with fine-grit sandpaper. The face veneer is smooth, but edges may require minor finishing.

Panel is slightly warped

Ensure the panel is stored flat and not under pressure. Minor warping can sometimes be corrected by carefully weighting it down on a flat surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This plywood can be cut to size using standard woodworking saws. Ensure blades are sharp for clean cuts. For best results, pre-drill holes before screwing to avoid splitting, especially near edges. Use appropriate wood adhesives and fasteners for joinery.

Compatibility:

Compatible with most standard woodworking tools and finishes. It can be painted, varnished, or laminated. Ensure any finish used is suitable for the intended environment. For exterior applications or prolonged moisture exposure, a robust waterproof sealant is recommended.

Care:

Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to standing water. For best longevity, store in a dry environment. Regularly check any finished projects for wear and tear, and reapply protective finishes as needed.
