I-Plywood inezikulufu ezinhle kakhulu-zokubamba amandla, amandla aphezulu, futhi ibonakala ngokuqina kwayo, ukumunca komsindo, kanye nokuvikela ukushisa. Futhi inomswakama ophansi (phakathi kuka-10% no-13%), kulula ukusetshenzwa, futhi inohlu olubanzi kakhulu lwezinhlelo zokusebenza.
I-Plywood izinzile kunokhuni oluqinile, kodwa iyakwazi ukulimaza umswakama. Ngakho-ke, ukusetshenziswa kwayo kufanele kugwenywe emakhishini nasezindlini zokugeza ngesikhathi sokwakhiwa.
Izindlela zokucubungula i-plywood zihlanganisa ukuhlanganisa umshini nokuhlanganisa izandla. Ukuhlanganisa ngesandla kuhilela ukufaka amapheshana okhuni ngesandla ku-plywood. Imicu yokhuni ithola amandla amancane okucindezelwa, okuholela ekubambeni okungalingani, izikhala ezinkulu, namandla okubamba izinzipho{2}}obuthakathaka. Ayikwazi ukusaha futhi ifaneleka kuphela-amaphrojekthi angaphansi ekuhlobiseni, njengokumbozwa ngaphansi kokhuni oluqinile. Ukuhlanganisa komshini, ngakolunye uhlangothi, kuba namandla amakhulu okucindezela, okuholela ezikhaleni ezincane, ukuhlanganisa okushelelayo, ngisho nomthamo-wokuthwala, kanye nesakhiwo esihlangene esingajwayele ukuwohloka{7}}ngokusetshenziswa isikhathi eside.
Ngenxa yokuhluka kwezinto, izinga liyahlukahluka. I-Plywood ihlukaniswa ngokuthi "ibanga eliphezulu," "ibanga lokuqala," kanye "nebanga elifanelekayo" ngokusekelwe kwikhwalithi yezinto kanye nokuthungwa kwe-surface veneer. Ezinye izinkampani zilebula amabhodi azo njengeBanga A, i-Double A, noma i-Triple A, kodwa lokhu kumane kuwumkhuba webhizinisi futhi awuhambisani nezindinganiso zikazwelonke; ukulebula okunjalo akusavunyelwe emakethe.
Kunezinhlobo eziningi zokhuni ezisetshenziselwa i-plywood, njenge-poplar, birch, pine, ne-paulownia. Phakathi kwazo, i-poplar ne-birch zithathwa njengezingcono kakhulu, njengoba ziminyene, azithambile kakhulu futhi aziqinile kakhulu, zinezinzipho eziqinile{1}}ezinamandla okubamba, futhi azikhubazeki kalula. I-Paulownia, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ilula kakhulu futhi ithambile, imunca umswakama omningi, inezinzipho ezingezinhle{3}}ukubamba amandla, futhi kunzima ukuyomisa. Amabhodi enziwe nge-paulownia athambekele ekuqhekekeni nasekujikeni lapho umswakama uhwamuka ngesikhathi sokusetshenziswa. Iphayini, njengoba iqinile, inzima ukuyicindezela, inokwakheka okungekuhle kokuhlanganisa, izinzipho ezingezinhle{6}}ukubamba amandla, kanye ne-coefficient ephezulu yokuguga.
