smartply

Smartply has been designed for use in structural and non structural applications and is available in a variety of thicknesses, dimensions and different grades.

SmartPly is an engineered wood product made from oriented wood flakes coated with an exterior grade glue and compressed under high temperature. The result is a load-bearing panel suitable for structural use in humid environments, with a reliable distribution of strength, stiffness and spanning capacity both along and across the board.

Zero-added formaldehyde
In keeping with current construction methods of working towards healthier homes, All SmartPly OSB3 products have been manufactured using zero added formaldehyde.
Conditioned to perform in humid environments, SmartPly 3 is the fully certified alternative to softwood plywood.

It is versatile, strong and cost-effective. Manufactured with exterior resins, SmartPly 3 is suitable for both interior and exterior structural applications such as:

SmartPly products are incredibly tough. Precisely engineered strands of wood are compressed with exterior resins at high temperature.
SmartPly products are free from knot-holes and core voids. They will not delaminate and can be easily cut, routed, planed and bored with consistent results, glued with wood adhesive and nailed up to 10mm from the edge without splitting - making it easy to work with and reducing waste.

SmartPly 3 products are fully approved by the BBA, IAB, KOMO and other European certifying bodies. Its suitability for structural use is also recognised by Homebond, Local Authority Building Inspectors, and the NHBC, and has FSC certification.
