Get the Best Quality Marine Plywood and Hoop Pine Plywood for Your Next Project

Marine plywood is made from the highest quality veneers and contains no knots or core gaps. This marine plywood construction prevents water from entering. The plywood is treated to resist fungal attacks and delamination and can withstand constant submersion in water. Marine plywood is completely waterproof due to the use of high-quality adhesive in conjunction with water-resistant hardwood. To improve the capabilities and strength of marine plywood, grains are pressed at right angles.

Marine plywood is used for projects that require only the best. It is made from selected plant species based on density, impact resistance, and bending strength.

Marine plywood is available in below grades from which you can choose the one as per your requirement:

  •          A-A
  •          A-B
  •          B-B
  •          Medium Density Overlay (MDO)
  •          High Density Overlay (HDO)

Marine plywood is used in many other environments where moisture is always present, such as kitchens, gazebos, patio furniture, laundry, docks, patios, decks, and exterior projects that are exposed to a lot of moisture and condensation. Marine plywood can be used in construction projects in areas where the weather and temperature fluctuate a lot. Marine plywood is best suited for projects that will be exposed to harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rains and strong winds.

Best quality, Australian-standard marine plywood

If you want the highest quality marine plywood, hoop pine plywood is the way to go. Hoop pine plywood is produced using plant species that maximize core strength, impact resistance, and finishing. Matilda Veneer's marine plywood is made from the highest grade of naturally water-resistant tropical hardwood. Matilda Veneer provides high Australian AS2272 standard-grade marine plywood that has been tested in accordance with the Engineered Wood Panels Association of Australia (EWPAA). A good quality 2 pack epoxy-based sealer is used in many marine panels available at Matilda Veneer to help seal out moisture while also densifying the plywood.

A diverse range of marine plywood

Matilda Veneer provides a variety of marine plywood marine plywood, such as pacific maple marine plywood, hoop pine plywood, and Gaboon marine plywood, which have a beautiful architectural finish and can be used in wet areas for a long time. Gaboon marine plywood is widely used in the construction of boats and the manufacture of lightweight aircraft. It can also be combined with fibre glass and epoxy resin.

Hoop pine plywood is a Queensland timber that is commonly used for flooring, joinery, furniture, retaining walls, pergolas, fencing, shelving, and general construction. Non-architectural applications for hoop pine plywood include playground equipment, brush ware, and musical and drafting equipment. Other applications where hoop pine plywood is commonly used include:

  •          Scaffold planks
  •          Musical instruments
  •          Cooperage
  •          Dowling
  •          Boat oars
  •          Blind rollers
  •          Match splints, and
  •          Draughtsman’s implements

The color of the hardwood varies from pale cream to light brown to yellow brown. Straight grain with fine and even texture characterizes hoop pine plywood. Sapwood can be easily treated with preservatives. Hoop pine plywood machines and turns well, but it is not suitable for steam engine construction. It is compatible with fittings and fasteners and is easily polished, stained, or painted. Closed grain veneer gives the hoop pine plywood a beautiful paint finish.

Hoop pine plywood is a designated marine species

AC-grade hoop pine plywood, as a designated marine species, can be used for projects that must withstand the harsh Australian environment when used properly. It can be used in semi-exposed applications that require a high-quality aesthetic finish. It can also be used in interior applications that are subjected to damp or wet conditions. The swirling grain and colour variations of BB-grade hoop pine plywood give it a more natural appearance. The structural, BB-grade hoop pine plywood is best suited for high-end clear staining applications.

When staining or coating hoop pine plywood, use compatible products, such as water-based finishing products, as oil-based coatings can significantly darken the wood.

Unique Features and Characteristics of Blackbutt Veneer and Birch Plywood that Make them Stand Apart from Others

Image
  A native Australian species, blackbutt (Eucalyptus pilularis) is primarily grown in the forests of southern Queensland and NSW. This timber species gets its name due to its butt or buttress (base) that turns black as a result of bushfire. Blackbutt can grow up to 50 meters, and often has slender trunks with bark that is rough on the bottom half but smooth and white on the top half. This popular food source for koalas has dark green leaves and blossoms with white flowers in the spring. The hardwood of blackbutt grows quickly and regenerates easily, making it a sustainable option for use in a variety of internal and external projects. Blackbutt veneer has a consistent colour and grain pattern, with tones ranging from honey-like yellow to pale, golden, and creamy brown. Remember that because blackbuttveneer is a natural Australian-grown species, the colour will vary between hardwood flooring products. Its heartwood, which is extracted from the tree's centre, has warmer hues and may...

Get all the Warmth and Beauty of Exotic Natural Wood Variety at a Much Lower Cost with Lightweight Plywood

Image
  Woodworkers prefer lightweight plywood for a variety of reasons. Lightweight plywood can be made much larger and at a lower cost than a comparable sized slab of solid wood. A low-grade substrate can be used over which lightweight plywood of an exotic wood variety is glued, making your project more cost-effective than one made entirely of an expensive wood variety. The substrate material for lightweight plywood can be medium density fiberboard (MDF), particleboard, polyurethane board, or oriented strand board (OSB). Because engineered wood products are less expensive than solid wood, you can make your woodwork from lightwood plywood at a much lower cost while still achieving the look and feel of the more expensive solid wood timber that you want in your project. Lightweight plywood is defined as any plywood with a thickness of less than 1/4 inch. If you want thinner lightweight plywood, some manufacturers offer what is known as "skin-ply," which can have sheets as thin as 1...

Reasons Why Fire Rated Boards of Walnut Veneer Are Very Popular As Structural Elements and For Use in Furniture

Image
  A number of different of factors influence building fire safety. These include provisions for escape routes in the event of a fire, as well as the building's ability to resist and limit the spread of fire. The use of fire-rated boards in buildings can help to provide passive fire protection to a structure and its occupants. In contrast to active fire protection systems, such as hydrants, which must be activated or operated in order to function, passive fire protection systems, such as fire rated boards, do not require any switching on or activation. The use of fire ratedboard as structural elements in the construction of a building helps to protect people's lives by reducing and preventing fire from spreading internally and externally. Fire rated boards can be used in any type of false ceiling where there is a high risk of fire or heat. Designers can use fire rated boards to improve the acoustics of rooms and improve the acoustic performance of a space by properly designin...
