Softwood Plywood sheeting is one of the oldest man-made, composite wood products. It can be traced to ancient Egypt and Greece and has a long history of being used in applications from construction, temporary structures, fixtures and fittings to affordable furniture. The process of its production is simple but results in an incredibly strong sheet of wood valued by professionals and DIY hobbyists alike.
Softwood ply is sometimes also called shuttering plywood and its main purpose is for low-cost projects which benefit from strong and dependable wood sheeting, but where slight imperfections are permissible. Due to the nature of made to measure softwood sheeting, it is best used for construction, roofing, wall linings and site hoarding where some warping is expected. For finishing products, such as those expected in carpentry and cabinetry, we recommend hardwood or birch plywood, which are specifically designed to be strong and aesthetically attractive.
We use modern and precise cutting equipment to machine all plywoods resulting in excellent levels of accuracy and uniform cuts. Our team of dedicated specialists has over 10 years of experience working with even the most demanding projects. With us, your wooden sheeting is in safe hands.
To create a softwood panel, thin layers of wood veneers are arranged at a right angle and firmly glued together, resulting in a superior stiffness of a panel. Thanks to the nature of Elliottis Pine, of which our plywood is made, and the expert manufacturing process these panels also have excellent firmness and are shock and impact resistant, resulting in the great utility of softwood ply. Our cut to size plywood won’t split or crack, even when it is necessary to drill or nail holes near the edges.
Plywood has a smooth finish; however, it can also have patches, knots, and a certain amount of filler is to be expected. Made to measure softwood ply’s surface is graded between B/C and C+/C, depending on thickness and stock. B grade wooden sheeting is sanded and allows for minimal patches and filler, while C grade wooden board will have permissible knots, filler and knot holes. Depending on the project, these can be sought-after features, but you can sand and patch this sheeting further, allowing for an upgrade of the surface quality and a more versatile application.
Cut to size softwood plywood sheeting offers all the benefits of solid, natural timber but surpasses it in strength and durability, thanks to the manufacturing process, specifically designed to strengthen the quality of natural wooden panels at an affordable price. As such, made to measure softwood plywood is the most popular product for commercial and construction purposes.
Cut to size softwood ply is ideal for temporary structures, extensions or smaller buildings such as huts and sheds. Thicker made to measure softwood sheeting can be used for load-bearing purposes. Softwood sheets are occasionally used for furniture making and cabinetry, where a cost-effective option is paramount. Cut to size softwood sheets are also suitable for shelving, especially those used in tool sheds and garages where strength is the most important factor.
The material can be easily stained or painted with stains and paints meant for plywood, lending itself to a wealth of customisation options. You can also wax or varnish a plywood board. The grain of a softwood plywood sheet is strong and visible which can add to the attractiveness of the panel.
Cut to sized Plywood Softwood is an excellent quality wooden sheet for use indoors, such as wall linings, flooring, and underlays. Softwood sheets perform extremely well as subfloors. However, with proper impregnation, softwood can be used as fascias and soffits.
