What is Cladding Plywood?
Cladding plywood is used for purposes of exterior wall cladding and is largely manufactured for this particular application. Treated to Hazard Level H3, cladding plywood has a strong resistance to fungus and insect attacks.
You can choose to have the H3 treatment applied either to the core or the envelope of the plywood. For envelope treatment, we apply the solution to the raw, after-cut edge to ensure the integrity of the envelope.
Benefits
There are several benefits to using plywood as cladding. These include:
- Visually appealing
- Strong and highly durable
- Resistant to impact, moisture, and temperature changes
- More cost-effective and easily sourced than other materials
- Eco-friendly to use
