How to Select Plywood for Built-in Projects?

The success of a project is often determined by the material you’ve chosen to work with.

High-quality plywood is an ideal material for both the construction and aesthetic design of any built-in, interior project. It’s a versatile and accessible material to work with, whether you’re building a simple shelving unit or an entire wall of new cabinets.

The key is to select plywood based on your desired end result, focusing as much on function and strength as appearance.

Selecting the Right Plywood for Your Project

In comparison to solid wood, plywood is more economical and more stable. You can achieve a high-end look without a big budget, which makes it a cost-effective material for both residential and commercial projects.

Hardwood Cores vs. Faces

Hardwood plywood is an ideal choice for built-in projects, but to yield the result you want it helps to understand what type of cores and faces are best suited for the project you have in mind.

The core of the plywood, which makes up the inner layers of a panel, and the face, which is the surface layer, can be two completely different types of wood. This allows for some flexibility in design and can help to accommodate a range of budgets.

For example, if you have your eyes set on a luxurious hardwood face but are concerned about budget, you can select panels that use a less expensive core.
