Product technical statement
PlyPlay™ is designed for wall and ceiling lining, joinery and furniture in residential and commercial applications, excluding high-humidity situations. It is a low-formaldehyde plywood, manufactured from sustainably grown plantation pine and birch.
Environmental
Using low-emission formaldehyde plywood and sustainably sourced timbers, and with no VOCs from the paint coating process, and with no VOCs from the coating process, PlyPlay contributes to a building’s sustainability credentials.
Installation
PlyPlay can be installed using a variety of fastening and fixing methods depending on the finish desired. The panel edges and back are sealed, which promotes stability and also assists installation when using double-sided tape. And when delivered to site, the coated faces are supplied with removable protective film. Before you cut PlyPlay, view our installation guide.
Natural material variations
Samples are indicative only. Being a natural product, PlyPlay is subject to some variations in moisture content, colour and grain, with the occasional imperfection. To minimise batch-to-batch variation, we recommend ordering all product required in one job order. Natural wood colours change over time and are affected by sunlight exposure.

We recommend cleaning PlyPlay panels when required with a warm, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
