Matilda Veneer

  Plywood is a multi-layered structure that is cut into veneers by wood segments and glued with adhesives. Generally, an odd number of veneers are used to form a board-like structure, along the wooden side. The fibre direction is perpendicular to each other. It is one of the main components used in construction projects and furniture. Plywood is one of the most sustainable, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally benign materials. Wood panels and boards are dimensionally stable due to the directional orientation of different veneers. These can be made in large sizes and made to have decorative faces, making it an excellent material for various woodwork projects. However, the flammability of wood has limited its use, especially in high-rise buildings and public use places due to safety requirements and regulations in force. Offering good physical and mechanical functionality Fire rated boards and fire rated plywood are great option for most building project needs. These produ...

  Despite timber being classified as a combustible construction material, it can perform exceptionally well when treated properly for fire resistance. Being an organic product, plywood cannot be made completely fire-proof, but its’ resistance to ignition, flame penetration and the surface spread of flame can certainly be improved with proper treatments. Fire retardant panel products are specified in a wide range of end-use applications such as wall linings, ceilings, display panels and partitions. Wood in internal applications is more popular than ever, but standard-engineered wood products can present a major safety risk for the occupants, if the right material isn’t applied to the application at hand. Where designers have to apply an attractive interior wood finish in commercial applications, fire-rated products are required by building codes in Australia. The low-flammability nature of the fire rated boards and fire rated plywood reduces the chances of a spark or ignition, while...
