Our MDO panels are manufactured from Douglas fir logs that have been carefully selected for their tight grain in order to ensure each panel is exceptionally strong, rigid and dimensionally stable. The overlay is bonded to the panel face under high heat and pressure to create a hard, durable surface that resists abrasion and moisture, as well as making the …

APA rated Sheathing (pronounced sheeting) grades define veneer appearance in terms of natural unrepaired growth characteristics and allowable number and size of repairs that may be made during manufacture Sheathing is a layer of plywood sometimes installed on floors (as subflooring), walls (keeps the neighbors from seeing what you are doing) and roofs (a buildings blanket). The plywood sheets range …

Plywood is an ideal material for concrete forming. It produces smooth surfaces and can be used repeatedly – some overlaid panels up to 200 times or more. The thinner panels can be bent easily for curved forms and liners. Plywood’s excellent stiffness minimizes deflection during pouring. It’s natural insulating qualities help proved more consistent curing conditions. The large panel size …

Manufacturers produce various grades of plywood form panel products, often treated with a release agent, for most general concrete-forming applications. Concrete formwork may represent close to half the cost of a concrete structure. For cost-effective building, contractors select forming panels that will stand up to the job and to multiple uses. Member manufacturers of APA−The Engineered Wood Association produce a …
