About our Hardwood WBP Plywood

Hardwood WBP Plywood is a sheet material manufactured by gluing together several thin layers of softwood or hardwood veneers. Because the WBP plywood layers are bonded with the grains running against each other the WBP plywood is highly resistant to expanding or shrinking, it is less likely to split when nailed at the edges, and the sheet strength is consistent in all directions. WBP plywood is an exterior grade so long as it is treated with a preservative. WBP (weather and boil-proof) means that the glue line will not break down when subjected to adverse weather conditions and can also withstand immersion in boiling water.

This Hardwood WBP Plywood has a hardwood face with a poplar core and is graded as B/BB meaning that is has a one-piece face veneer uniform in colour with occasional filler on the reverse. It also conforms to the following standards EN636-2, EN314-2.

Application

Hardwood WBP Plywood is not only used extensively throughout the construction industry but also in industries such as vehicle building and packaging. When suitably protected it may be used externally and will remain flat and stable throughout. The knot free B face can be clear finished (using varnish/polyurethane) to highlight and enhance the attractive woodgrain surface.

Note

WBP PLYWOOD (Weather and Boil Proof) This has become a somewhat ubiquitous and incorrect ”Trade term” for some plywood’s – which predates current statutory and building requirements and in fact only relates to the adhesive used to bond the individual wood veneers together during manufacture. For very many years now the term WBP has been superseded by EN13986 and for which EN636 defines the required performance or service classes for which the entire panel may be used (not just stipulating the glue which should be used).
