PLYWOOD

Panels comprising of at least three layers (or ‘plies’) of thin wood bonded together with an adhesive. Each ply is usually orientated at a right angle to the adjacent layer in order to improve strength and reduce the probability of shrinkage.

    Through robust checks on the Supply Chain in accordance with Hanson Plywood’s Due Diligence System (monitored under the Timber Trade Federation’s Responsible Purchasing Policy), we ensure that our Malaysian products are purchased from Peninsular Malaysia.


    Within Peninsular Malaysia, ‘most permanent reserved forests are certified under the Malaysian Timber Certification Scheme (MTCS), under which forest management plans are audited and provide a level of assurance of legality for timber originating from these forests.’ (NEPCon – Forest Risk Profile) . MTCS is the first national certification scheme in South Asia to be endorsed by PEFC™, which illustrates the schemes recognition for responsible forest management.


    Hanson Plywood ensures MTCS certified plywood is purchased from Suppliers of Malaysian Plywood, even when it is not promoted and sold as PEFC™ certified material.

SP101 Indonesian Special Overlay Plywood is a superior medium to lightweight plywood suitable for a vast array of applications including flooring, laminating, veneering, joinery and furniture to name a few.

The use of exterior phenol glue in the manufacturing process allows the bond to weather exterior conditions and aids the product’s suitability for the above applications.

    • SP101 Flooring Plywood® is constructed with environmental sustainability at its core. Every sheet is comprised of legally verifiable timber from well-managed forests.
    • The timber in SP101 Flooring Plywood® is sourced from Indonesia and was the first flooring plywood to be imported into the UK with a FLEGT License.
    • All timber exported from Indonesia has to be fully traceable and certified under Indonesia’s country-wide Timber Legality Assurance Scheme; Sistem Verfikasi Legalitas Kayu (SVLK). Currently, SVLK is now the first timber legality assurance scheme to be recognised by the European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) as a framework that assures the legality of timber sourced in Indonesia.
    • SP101 Indonesian Plywood is also available with full FSC® Chain of Custody Certification.
