Lower price hardwood ply often have hardwood ply veneers on the external faces with a softwood ply core, usually poplar or eucalyptus. Malaysian Ply is one of our best-selling products.
Malay ply equals quality ply
The Malaysian Ply (formerly known as Far Eastern Ply) sheets of 9mm and thicker are structural ply over are supplied to conform to EN standards 636 and 314. The face veneer is normally grade BB/CC, the BB providing the better face and the reverse side being CC – the assumption being that only one side will be visible.
EN314 relates to bonding quality, this quality is determined by the type of adhesive and the quality of the core veneer. The Malaysian hardwood ply conforms to Bond Class II making it suitable for use in humid areas or exposure to occasional wetting. Sometimes we can secure Class III which means the ply is suitable for unprotected exterior use or exposure to frequent wetting.
EN 636 takes into account the bond quality and the biological durability of the wood species used in the plywood. This biological durability refers to the natural capability of the wood species to resist the detrimental effects of fungal decay and beetle larvae. The G2 ply conforms to Specification Class II making it suitable for use in humid areas or exposure to occasional wetting.
Finishing and applications
Whatever class a ply might achieve the product still requires finishing with a product suitable for the specific application, this may be a UV resistant stain or more conventional paint finish. Even marine ply needs careful application of an appropriate water-resistant finish which must be applied when the ply is dry enough for the finish to adhere.
This Far Eastern Ply is hardwood throughout, i.e. both face and core veneers are machined from hardwood timbers. Manufactured to stringent quality standards means this ply can be used in a wide range of constructional applications. Providing it is sealed properly the full sheets can be cut into smaller sections and used for tiling, soffits and fascias.
