Panelling for walls is an excellent way for you to spruce up any commercial space. Not only does it add extra protection for walls, but you can easily change the look of interiors by simply switching your wall panels’ design and materials.
But when you have budget constraints, you must consider something cheaper and more sustainable. So why not consider using plywood or medium density fibreboard (MDF)? These materials can help realise your architectural designs for less.
Years ago, plywood in floors was limited to sheathing and underlays. Nowadays, it’s utilised as a cost-effective flooring finish as well. Thanks to technological improvements, plywood flooring is now a viable alternative to most other floors. It offers a durable and more affordable solution for many construction projects.
But before you consider using plywood flooring in your project, here are the most important things you must know.
It’s easy to think of MDF and plywood as the same thing when you see them in the home improvement section of your local store. But they could not be more different. Where the strength of one is the weakness of another. So when it comes to MDF vs plywood, is there a better choice?
Find out the differences between the two and where best to use them.
When Sydney’s Macquarie University needed to have its library refurbished, administrators saw an opportunity to create a more interactive learning space for their students. Making the most of a limited budget, they chose an AA structural plywood design that highlights the rugged charm of the material.
When the Kapitol Group was touted as one of Australia’s best places to work in 2021, the company wanted its new corporate headquarters to further live up to that reputation. By utilising Armourpanel® and Armourfloor® premium interior plywood, FA Mitchell’s peers at Big River Group helped turn the vision for Kapitol’s office design into reality.
Plywood can be a sustainable building material. But that’s only if it is produced, transported and used in safe and sustainable ways. So when you source plywood for your project, a question to always ask is: “How sustainable is this plywood?”
In addition, you want to ask yourself, “How do I choose and use plywood in a way that makes it more sustainable?”
To answer both questions, you need to first know plywood’s environmental impact during the main stages of its life cycle, from start to finish.
When it comes to building projects, selecting the right type of plywood is crucial to ensure durability and longevity. Two common options that often confuse builders are marine plywood and exterior plywood. When comparing marine plywood vs. exterior plywood, is one better than the other?
While both are suitable for outdoor applications, they each possess distinct characteristics that make them suitable for specific purposes. In this article, we will explore the main differences between marine plywood and exterior plywood, and guide you on how to choose the appropriate option for your construction needs.
When it comes to building projects that require plywood or other engineered composite boards, it’s important to ensure that your boards are cut precisely to the exact right dimensions. While there are ways to cut a few boards yourself or use a store operator, this is not desirable for building projects. You need commercial plywood or composite panel cutting services.
Your best choice for commercial panel cutting services is an industry operator with specialized equipment and significant experience.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits of having your plywood or composite boards custom cut to size by a plywood industry specialist operator, such as FA Mitchell here in Sydney.
