Characteristics of the different types of plywood
There is a type of plywood and its Joubert Plywood solution for every project.
Interior, exterior, structural, standard or specific, plywood is the right choice for every application.
The associated European standards define panel types, their characteristics and the performance requirements needed for certain uses.
Okoume plywood
Reliable and high-performance
All panel plies are made of the same species of Okoume.
