STRUCTURAL PLYWOOD

Structural plywood is designed to provide superior strength and rigidity, making it suitable for heavy-duty external applications and structural support. On the other hand, non-structural plywood is intended for lighter uses such as cabinetmaking or furniture construction, where a more flexible material is preferred.
