Get the Best Quality Marine Plywood and Hoop Pine Plywood for Your Next Project

Marine plywood is made from the highest quality veneers and contains no knots or core gaps. This marine plywood construction prevents water from entering. The plywood is treated to resist fungal attacks and delamination and can withstand constant submersion in water. Marine plywood is completely waterproof due to the use of high-quality adhesive in conjunction with water-resistant hardwood. To improve the capabilities and strength of marine plywood, grains are pressed at right angles.

Marine plywood is used for projects that require only the best. It is made from selected plant species based on density, impact resistance, and bending strength.

Marine plywood is available in below grades from which you can choose the one as per your requirement:

• A-A
• A-B
• B-B
• Medium Density Overlay (MDO)
• High Density Overlay (HDO)

Marine plywood is used in many other environments where moisture is always present, such as kitchens, gazebos, patio furniture, laundry, docks, patios, decks, and exterior projects that are exposed to a lot of moisture and condensation. Marine plywood can be used in construction projects in areas where the weather and temperature fluctuate a lot. Marine plywood is best suited for projects that will be exposed to harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rains and strong winds.

Best quality, Australian-standard marine plywood

If you want the highest quality marine plywood, hoop pine plywood is the way to go. Hoop pine plywood is produced using plant species that maximize core strength, impact resistance, and finishing. Matilda Veneer's marine plywood is made from the highest grade of naturally water-resistant tropical hardwood. Matilda Veneer provides high Australian AS2272 standard-grade marine plywood that has been tested in accordance with the Engineered Wood Panels Association of Australia (EWPAA). A good quality 2 pack epoxy-based sealer is used in many marine panels available at Matilda Veneer to help seal out moisture while also densifying the plywood.

A diverse range of marine plywood

Matilda Veneer provides a variety of marine plywood marine plywood, such as pacific maple marine plywood, hoop pine plywood, and Gaboon marine plywood, which have a beautiful architectural finish and can be used in wet areas for a long time. Gaboon marine plywood is widely used in the construction of boats and the manufacture of lightweight aircraft. It can also be combined with fibre glass and epoxy resin.

Hoop pine plywood is a Queensland timber that is commonly used for flooring, joinery, furniture, retaining walls, pergolas, fencing, shelving, and general construction. Non-architectural applications for hoop pine plywood include playground equipment, brush ware, and musical and drafting equipment. Other applications where hoop pine plywood is commonly used include:

• Scaffold planks
• Musical instruments
• Cooperage
• Dowling
• Boat oars
• Blind rollers
• Match splints, and
• Draughtsman’s implements

The color of the hardwood varies from pale cream to light brown to yellow brown. Straight grain with fine and even texture characterizes hoop pine plywood. Sapwood can be easily treated with preservatives. Hoop pine plywood machines and turns well, but it is not suitable for steam engine construction. It is compatible with fittings and fasteners and is easily polished, stained, or painted. Closed grain veneer gives the hoop pine plywood a beautiful paint finish.

Hoop pine plywood is a designated marine species

AC-grade hoop pine plywood, as a designated marine species, can be used for projects that must withstand the harsh Australian environment when used properly. It can be used in semi-exposed applications that require a high-quality aesthetic finish. It can also be used in interior applications that are subjected to damp or wet conditions. The swirling grain and colour variations of BB-grade hoop pine plywood give it a more natural appearance. The structural, BB-grade hoop pine plywood is best suited for high-end clear staining applications.

When staining or coating hoop pine plywood, use compatible products, such as water-based finishing products, as oil-based coatings can significantly darken the wood.
