Benefits

 


 

Greater Consistency, Greater Reliability

Ply-Lam is basically plywood so it is a very stable product;  not susceptible to warping, cracking and twisting as is the case with dimensional lumber.  In the picture to the right, we can see how the dimensional lumber is warping, while the Ply-Lam is not.


 

Improved Safety

Ply-Lam is lighter, easier to work with and more fire resistant than OSB. It also has ‘memory’ i.e. it may swell when wet but will return to its original size when dry.


 

Environmentally Friendly

Ply-Lam is a better use of the resource than dimensional lumber. When using dimensional lumber for stringers, up to 40% of the wood may be wasted.  Your manufacturing process can help save habitats like this.
