Why Should You Use Plywood For Outdoor Furniture? - Mathaji Hardware

1. Planning some outdoor furniture? Plywood is the best choice for all kinds of indoor furniture for homes and offices alike, and we all should know that by now. But, is it equally good for outdoor furniture too? Let’s take a look. Plywood is strong and stable Plywood is made by cross-grains of thin plies glued at the right angles, depending upon the pattern of their grain. This technique allows the plywood sheets to resist splitting, while providing them with uniform strength and increased stability. Also, no kind of moisture content or humidity can expand or contract the size of plywood, unlike in the case of natural wood. This is one of the biggest advantages that plywood brings in the case of outdoor furniture, where humidity and moisture is easily prevalent,

Plywood possesses high impact resistance Due to the cross lamination of panels within a plywood, force is distributed over a large area, and tensile stress if reduces. This helps the plywood to withstand overloading up to twice its designated load; and also the impact from any kind of outdoor environmental elements. Plywood possess high water resistance While manufacturing plywood, it is treated with a substance that makes it highly resistant to water, such as waterproof glue and other chemical compounds. This makes it a great option for outdoor furniture where there is exposure to the monsoon rains. You definitely won't want your furniture to dampen and wear out due to the monsoon or humidity outdoors, would you? Plywood is highly resistant to fire Plywood can also be treated with a fire-resistant coating, where it is combined with non-combustible materials like fibrous cement or plasterboard. Such a chemical coating resists the oxidation process, thus reducing the spread of fire. This is another reason why plywood is an excellent choice for the outdoors, especially in areas that are prone to fire. Other than these benefits, there are many other amazing properties that plywoods possess, which makes them an apt choice for all kinds of furniture. When using natural wood, there is a limitation of the size of the sheet, as wood cannot be larger than the trunk of the three. Thus, whenever one want s a large width, joints are required.

3. But, in the case of plywood, larger sheets are available, thus eliminating the need for joints. Joints not only add to the difficulty of construction, but also make the furniture visually less appealing. Also, the joints may expand or contract due to temperature changes. Natural wood is also limited in terms of thickness. Plywood, on the other hand, manufactured by gluing thin sheets one over the other; thus any required thickness can be achieved. Plywood is thus a material that provides a large surface area that is joint-less and thick, which is not likely to be affected by any kind of external factors like heat and moisture.
