Plywood is stronger than substitute wood-based panels in the four fundamental engineering strength properties of bending, tension, compression, and planar shear. Plywood weighs up to 40% less than substitute wood-based panels of equivalent thickness. A highly impact-resistant panel, plywood continues to perform even when wet. With more than 60 years of proven service as a structural panel for homes and construction.
