Plywood is a versatile and widely used material in construction and furniture making due to its strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness.

1. Softwood Plywood
Made from softwood species like pine, fir, spruce, or cedar.
Uses: Commonly used in construction for roofing, wall sheathing, flooring, and subflooring.
Characteristics: Strong and durable, but typically less smooth and less aesthetically pleasing than hardwood plywood.
2. Hardwood Plywood
Made from hardwood species like oak, birch, maple, cherry, or mahogany.
Uses: Often used in furniture making, cabinetry, paneling, and high-end joinery.
Characteristics: Denser, stronger, and has a finer, more attractive grain. Provides a high-quality finish for visible applications.
3. Marine Plywood
Made from durable wood species with waterproof glue.
Uses: Ideal for use in areas exposed to moisture or humidity, such as boat building, docks, and outdoor furniture.
Characteristics: Resistant to water, rot, and fungal attacks. Has no core gaps, making it stronger and more durable in wet conditions.
4. Flexible Plywood (Bendy Ply)
Made with a thin core and lightweight veneers that allow it to bend easily.
Uses: Used for creating curved shapes in furniture, cabinetry, and decorative architectural elements.
Characteristics: Easily bends into desired shapes without cracking, perfect for complex designs.
5. Structural Plywood
Typically made from a mix of softwood and hardwood species.
Uses: Used for load-bearing applications like beams, flooring, and wall bracing in construction.
Characteristics: Strong and designed to withstand heavy loads and structural stress.
6. Decorative Plywood (Veneer Plywood)
Has a high-quality veneer surface of fine wood, such as walnut, teak, or maple, over a core of less expensive wood.
Uses: Commonly used in furniture, cabinetry, and interior decoration where appearance is important.
Characteristics: Offers a premium look and finish, often polished or stained to highlight the natural wood grain.
7. Film-Faced Plywood
A layer of film coating is applied to its surface, typically made from phenolic or melamine resin.
Uses: Used in construction, especially for concrete formwork and shuttering, due to its smooth, water-resistant surface.
Characteristics: Durable, reusable, and provides a smooth finish to concrete surfaces.
8. Fire-Retardant Plywood
Treated with fire-retardant chemicals to reduce flammability.
Uses: Used in areas where fire resistance is required, such as ceilings, walls, and partitions in commercial buildings.
Characteristics: Slows down the spread of flames and reduces smoke production.
