Leading Marine Plywood UAE Distributors
Marine plywood is a high quality plywood that is designed to be used in humid environments. It is resistant to water damage and has a long lasting performance.
What is Marine plywood?
Marine plywood is made from hardwood veneers of high quality that are attached using waterproof adhesive.
Why Marine Plywood is Ideal for the UAE
Climate conditions in the UAE can be harsh. It is made with hardwood veneers of high density and bonded with waterproof (WBP) adhesives. It provides exceptional resistance to water and fungal growth. It is therefore a popular material in the UAE for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Extreme Climate Tolerance
With temperatures that can reach 45 °C and high humidity levels in coastal regions such as Dubai as well as Abu Dhabi. Marine plywood, however, is made using waterproof adhesives and premium wood veneers that make it resistant to moisture, heat and temperature variations–ideal for the harsh climate of the UAE.
Long-Term Durability
It provides longer life and lower maintenance and is an ideal investment for commercial and residential initiatives in the UAE.
Ideal for high end Architecture
Marine plywood gives an even, smooth finish that is perfect for high end interiors and furniture that is designed to maintain the strength of the structure while enhancing its aesthetics.
High moisture resistance
Marine plywood has excellent water absorption resistance and is therefore ideal for humid environments. It retains its strength and form even when exposed to moisture frequently.
