Which plywood is best for construction?

Film faced plywood is a kind of plywood for construction, a material used for formwork in construction engineering. Generally, it is made of 8-11 layers of pressed wood boards, combined with eucalyptus wood core and pine wood surface, and a piece of film paper is added on the front and back sides, mostly black, red, brown, etc. There are many kinds of names: there are laminated boards, clear water templates, mirror panels, blackboards, film boards, and so on. The quality of the film faced plywood is better than that of the ordinary wood formwork, the surface is smooth and flat, the inner core is made of a first-grade board, and the amount of glue is more than that of the ordinary formwork. Durable and suitable for rainy and hot weather. With good water resistance, and high-temperature resistance, repeated use is not easy to open glue burst.

The advantages of film faced plywood are:

1. Large format;

2. Light weight;

3. Many times of use;

4. Concrete pouring;

5. Corrosion resistance;

6. Good heat preservation;

7. Good construction performance;

There are a variety of options available. Depending on the project, certain types may be better suited than others. The three main types of plywood that are commonly used in construction projects include softwood, hardwood, and engineered wood.

Softwoods such as pine or spruce make ideal materials for framing walls and ceilings due to their strength and affordability.

Hardwoods like oak or maple offer superior strength compared to softwoods but can often be more expensive so they’re best used when extra durability is needed in high-traffic areas like floors or staircases where wear-and-tear could occur over time.

Lastly, engineered woods such as OSB (oriented strand board) provide excellent structural stability while being cost effective at the same time making them great choices for sheathing roofs and walls with an added layer of protection against moisture damage from outside elements without adding too much weight on top of existing structures during installation process.. Ultimately which type you choose will depend largely on your budget along with specific requirements based upon your particular project needs; however all three can offer reliable support when properly installed by a professional contractor!
