What are Flexible Plywood Sheets?
Plywood sheets usually offer high strength levels, rigidity, and durability. Flexible plywood is different. While flexi ply is strong, it does not have the same rigidity as a standard board. This difference is due to the way that flexible plywood panels are manufactured.It’s available in two different grain direction : long grain and cross grain.
Regular plywood sheets are built for strength, with each of the veneers layered perpendicularly to provide a solid finish and a cross grain design. A cross-grain design means that the grain pattern goes across the sheet, and the short edge of the sheet bends to join with the short edge. In contrast, flexi ply is manufactured using thin plies arranged in layers. Flexi ply is ideal for a range of practical applications that require bends and curves. This unique plywood board has a straight grain pattern where all the grain runs in the same direction. It is this construction method that gives flexible plywood its ability to bend and flexible form. Bendy plywood is more convenient and much lower in cost than premade wooden forms, as this flexible plywood will hold its shape once it is glued, laminated or veneered.It is used extensively in furniture and shop fitting, etc. wherever curved surfaces are desirable.
Key Features of Flexible Plywood Sheets
Flexible plywood offers many benefits over standard plywood sheets in applications requiring curves. These sheets have a high quality finish suitable for most types of decoration, internal use only. Here are some of the benefits of using flexible plywood:
Extremely flexible
As you would expect from its name, flexi ply is an extremely flexible plywood. Depending on the thickness of the plywood used, this material can be rolled and curved to create a variety of different shapes without the surface cracking and without compromising its strength.
Creates curves with ease
When creating items requiring bends, it can be challenging to finish these perfectly to a high standard. Flexible plywood sheets are the answer to this issue. As the sheet bends with ease, shaping the plywood sheets to create the perfect bend. The board is used in many applications such as wavy walls, shop fittings, pillars, arches plus bathroom and kitchen fixtures.
Price effective material
Trying to carve different shapes from wood can be expensive and time-consuming. But, flexible plywood offers a cost-effective alternative. As well as being less labour-intensive to work on, flexible plywood sheets are far less expensive to buy.
Many uses
Flexi ply is suitable for a wide range of practical applications. Due to its flexible nature, this plywood offers many advantages over its other wooden counterparts. Flexible plywood can withstand bending and shaping that would cause normal plywood sheets to split and break.

How is flexi Ply different to plywood?

This makes flexible bending plywood easy to manipulate.
