Structural Grade Plywood - Wigwamply

1. Structural Grade Plywood - Wigwamply Structural grade plywood is engineered wood designed to withstand heavy loads, rigorous construction demands, and challenging environmental conditions. Whether you are building floors, roofing systems, formwork, scaffolding, or permanent fixtures, choosing the right plywood grade matters. At Wigwam Ply, our structural grade plywood delivers exceptional strength, uniform thickness, and long-lasting performance that professionals trust. Our structural plywood is manufactured using high-quality veneers bonded with advanced adhesives and pressed under controlled heat and pressure. This process creates a panel with excellent dimensional stability and resistance to bending or warping, even under sustained stress. Available in popular thicknesses such as Structural grade plywood 18mm and structural grade plywood 12mm, these boards are suitable for a wide range of structural and load-bearing applications. Why Choose Structural Grade Ply? Structural grade ply stands out from ordinary plywood because it meets stricter performance criteria. It is graded based on face and core veneer quality, bond strength, and mechanical

When you specify structural grade plywood on your project, you’re choosing a panel that: ● Provides superior load-bearing capabilities ● Offers high resistance to moisture and seasonal movement ● Ensures consistent thickness and smooth surface ● Reduces risk of delamination or internal voids ● Meets industry performance standards Thickness Options: 18mm & 12mm Different uses demand different panel thicknesses. At Wigwam Ply, we offer: ● Structural Grade Plywood 18mm: A robust choice for sub-floors, roof decking, wall sheathing, and heavy formwork. The 18mm thickness delivers rigidity and strength, making it a go-to for demanding structural purposes. ● Structural Grade Plywood 12mm: A versatile option used in partitions, light framing, ceilings, and cabinetry where strength is essential but excessive thickness is not required. It balances weight and performance effectively. Both thicknesses maintain high load capacity and meet durability standards for construction environments. Understanding Ply Grades & Plywood Grades Plywood is categorized into different ply grades based on veneer quality, glue type, and intended use. Structural applications require plywood that belongs to higher grades due to their enhanced mechanical properties. Plywood grades typically range from utility and interior types to exterior and structural types. Structural grade plywood sits near the top of this hierarchy because it uses high-quality veneers bonded with weather-resistant adhesives and undergoes rigorous quality checks. Common grading systems classify plywood by: ● Face and back veneer quality ● Core veneer strength ● Adhesive type and performance ● Resistance to moisture and mechanical stress Structural grades are ideal where load-bearing performance is needed without compromise. Applications of Construction Grade Plywood

3. Also known as construction grade plywood, structural grade panels are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Typical applications include concrete shuttering, flooring underlays, roof decks, load-bearing walls, and heavy duty shelving. The dimensional stability and strength make it an excellent choice for environments that experience fluctuating temperatures and humidity.
