Is Plywood Better Than Melamine?
mars 9, 2025 Pas de commentaire
While both types of oak plywood offer excellent strength and beauty, there are distinct differences between red and white oak plywood.
Red oak plywood is a strong, durable hardwood panel with a reddish-brown hue and a prominent, open grain pattern. It is commonly used in cabinetry, furniture, and interior paneling due to its affordability and ease of staining.

White oak plywood is known for its dense, closed-grain structure, making it highly resistant to moisture and rot. Its light tan to medium brown color and excellent durability make it a popular choice for high-end furniture, flooring, and boatbuilding.
