BENDING PLYWOOD
| Do not be intimidated by curved or radius furniture/cabinetry. Bending Plywood or flexible board is designed to flex to take the shape of almost any curved contour. Bending plywood’s ability to bend in long-grain or cross-grain directions makes it a versatile panel for complex shaped designs.BENDING PLYWOOD APPLICATIONSOn the job site, radius contours can be painted or covered with a wide range of laminates or paper-backed veneers for the finished look you desire. It’s the perfect solution for curved columns, arches, cabinetry and furniture in both residential and commercial settings… anywhere a departure from a straight edge is desired. |
