Our film faced plywoods are manufactured from 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 panel easy to strip from concrete surfaces. This overlay also protects the wood substrate from the rigors of site construction, including exposure to water and alkali solutions.
