Today, the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) trends are still fast growing . Homeowners prefer to making home improvement on their own .

Whether you are building, redecorating or repairing, plywood are required . Large quantity of plywood are distributed to DIY Market everyday . 

Plywood can be used for DIY furniture, platform, flooring, roofing, lining and panelling of interior, as well as exterior wall . In DIY markets, there are different kinds of plywood such as interior plywood, exterior plywood, marine plywood and fancy plywood (decorating plywood) .

In a supplier’s view, do-it-yourselfers should know the following when they buy plywood :

(1) If the plywood may be exposed to weather/water, choose exterior WBP plywood; If exposed to home moisture only, use interior plywood.

(2) Usually, it’s not necessary for you to choose high grade plywood . If you require only one good side of plywood, the selection of the plywood with good face and worse back can save costs. If the plywood will be invisible in your finished application, you can use plywood with worse face/back .

(3) If the plywood (especially after being cut into small pieces ) will be exposed to weather / water / moisture, painting the edges of plywood can extend the life of plywood . This can prevent edges from absorbing moisture/water .

(4) If you require better plywood durability for your usages , choose exterior WBP plywood regardless of whether the plywood is used for interior or exterior .
