CANPLY EXTERIOR plywood is an engineered panel manufactured by laminating layers of wood veneer together with resin adhesive under heat and pressure to form a strong, stable, durable panel three or more layers thick.

These layers, or plies, of wood veneer are peeled from logs chosen for their quality, symmetry, straight grain and size. They are debarked, cut into segments and rotated at high speed in a lathe. The wood veneer is peeled off in long strips.

All CANPLY EXTERIOR plywood is made from rotary-cut veneer at our members' modern, highly efficient mills. Quality control checks are performed during this process to ensure veneer is of uniform thickness and consistent quality.

CANPLY member products have a reputation for quality and performance and meet International Standards throughout the world.

The CANPLY "Mark of Excellence" is an assurance to consumers that our plywood meets the high quality standards established by the industry and that it will perform in a satisfactory and predictable manner. Only plywood manufactured by member companies of CANPLY are licensed to use this stamp.

Plywood is the Original Engineered Wood Product

Plywood's cross-laminated construction capitalizes on the more desirable physical and mechanical properties of wood.

Benefits include:

  • Superior dimensional stability
  • Exceptional two-way strength
  • Highly resistant to damage from impact

Proven Performance

Plywood has over 50 years of proven service as a structural panel for homes and construction and remains, according to surveys, the panel of choice by home buyers, contractors, architects and engineers

Environmentally Responsible

Plywood is manufactured from logs averaging 25cm (10 inches) in diameter from managed sustainable forests. 100% of the log is utilized for either veneer, or by-products, such as 2x4 lumber, landscaping ties or chips for pulp and paper. Nothing is wasted.
