Ply Wood

Ply Wood

Available Standard Sizes:

Ply Wood, MDF, Blockboard

Plywood (Ablakash)

Plywood is a type of engineered wood composed of multiple thin layers (veneers) of natural wood glued together with adhesive under high pressure and heat. The grain direction in each layer is rotated 90 degrees to the one above to increase strength.

Types of Engineered Wood: Blockboard, MDF, and Plywood

Blockboard (Counter)

Blockboard is a type of engineered wood panel. It consists of layers of softwood (usually pine or beech), arranged with alternating grain directions (cross-laminated) and bonded together with strong adhesive glue. Veneer (face and back) layers are added on both sides.

Advantages of Blockboard:

  • Very strong

  • Resistant to bending and breaking

  • Easy to work with and customize

  • Stronger and more durable than MDF

  • Used in manufacturing doors, kitchens, wardrobes, desks, furniture, and interior finishes

MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard)

MDF stands for Medium Density Fiberboard. It is made from very fine wood fibers (like sawdust powder) mixed with resin glue, then compressed under very high pressure and temperature to form a dense, smooth sheet on both sides.

Advantages:

  • Smooth and fine surface

  • Easy to cut and customize

  • Glues and paints well

  • Ideal for CNC carving

  • Uniform appearance with no knots or gaps like natural wood

Disadvantages:

  • Heavy

  • Not water-resistant unless treated

  • Less load-bearing than blockboard
