DIFFERENT WAYS IN WHICH PLYWOOD IS DECORATED

DIFFERENT WAYS IN WHICH PLYWOOD IS DECORATED

LAMINATES:

Decorative laminates, actually a combination of paper and plastic, are bonded to plywood surfaces using fevicol and X heat. Laminates are available in a variety of colours, shapes and textures, and plywood is the most common way to decorate furniture and panelling.

SIZES:

The most standard size of laminate sheets produced by most of the laminate companies is 8'x 4'(8 feet by 4 feet).

Special sizes such as 3 feet x 7 feet, or 5 feet by 12 feet, but the standard and common size is 8'x 4'.

THICKNESS:

Generally, the thickness of the laminate ranges from 0.6 mm to 1.5 mm. Thick self-supporting compact laminates, on the other hand, have thicknesses of 3mm to 30mm

Heat X Sets Faster, That Means Solvents In Heat X Evaporate Fast And Gives You A Faster Bond

Use Heat X To Bond Laminate Sheet With Plywood If Its Wall Panelling, If Not Use Heat X On Corner Sides Of Plywood And Sr-Fevicol In Center It Will Reduce Cost

PAINTS:

Paint is a way to protect the wood for a long time and enhance its beauty. This is a low-cost alternative to laminate or veneers and comes with a large selection of wood colours.

LCETED TRIVIA

if you want to paint plywood, you should first use a wood primer. General Purpose Wood Primer will provide you with a soft, stainless base coat to work with. Primer makes plywood surfaces for both oil and acrylic based paints, giving you full access to a wide range of colours and finishes

You don’t need to apply putty to plywood because it has a smooth surface

POLISH:

Plywood is often overlooked as a finished wood because it is very inexpensive and easy to obtain. But, plywood is still wood, so carpenters often use wood polishes (in dark colours) in some areas of furniture (such as the bottom of desks and inner boards of single and double beds).

VENEER:

Wood veneers are quality thin slices/sheets of wood like teak that are glued to the surface of plywood to enhance its beauty and enrich it. Most ordinary visitors cannot distinguish between a solid teak wood cabinet and a teak veneer outside. Veneers are an expensive way to decorate plywood.

LAMINATE VS VENEER

Let’s take a look at these two materials and how they differ from each other on all these aspects.

Where to use them?

LAMINATE: Given their durability, laminates are the best choice for kitchen cabinets. You can also use it for closets and other frequently used furniture.

VENEER: For furniture, you want to use as statement pieces or focal points, veneers are desirable. They add aesthetic value and unique look.
