Structural Plywood
Engineered plywood manufactured to AS/NZS 2269 with Type A bond and an assigned stress grade, used for flooring, bracing, and structural diaphragms.
Plywood manufactured under AS/NZS 2269 with Type A phenolic bond and an assigned stress grade (F8 to F27) for engineering design under AS 1720.1. Veneers are graded for face, back, and core, and each sheet is brand-stamped with manufacturer, stress grade, bond type, and standard reference. Typical applications include particleboard alternative flooring, wall and roof bracing, formwork, gussets, and diaphragm panels. Common configurations are 7-ply, 9-ply, or 13-ply in thicknesses from 7 mm to 25 mm, with various face grades for visible or hidden uses. For buyers, the brand stamp is non-negotiable for structural use; unbranded panels cannot be substituted. Match stress grade and thickness to the engineer's specification, and protect panels from rain on site even though A-bond is rated for permanent exposure.
