Given the many advantages it has over traditional lumber, plywood currently enjoys a reputation as one of the most stable wood products in all forms of construction.
However, while all types of plywood are quite stable to a certain degree, few of them can beat structural plywood when it comes to stability.
So what makes structural plywood so special?
We have all heard about the green movement and the importance of reducing our carbon footprint. We are quite aware of the concept of environmental-friendly buildings. In fact, being ‘green’ is one of the top and unique selling points for just about anything these days.
