When   it   comes   to   cabinets,   plywood   with   specific   characteristics   is   commonly used   due   to   its   strength,   durability  , and   aesthetic   appeal.   The   type   of   plywood typically   used   for   cabinets   is   known   as   Cabinet   Grade  Plywood   or   Furniture Grade   Plywood.   Here   are   some   key   features   of   plywood   suitable   for   cabinets:

 

 

 

 

 

1.) Hardwood Plywood: Hardwood plywood is often preferred for cabinets due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. It is typically made from hardwood veneers, such as birch, oak, maple, or cherry. These hardwoods offer excellent strength and resistance to wear and tear.

 

2.) Veneer Core: Cabinet-grade plywood often has a veneer core construction, where several layers of thin wood veneers are glued together. This construction provides stability, strength, and resistance to warping.

 

3.) Smooth and Even Surface: The face and back veneers of cabinet-grade plywood are carefully selected to provide a smooth and even surface, ensuring a high-quality finish when the cabinets are painted, stained, or laminated.

 

4.) Moisture Resistance: While cabinet-grade plywood is not inherently waterproof, it typically has some level of moisture resistance due to the use of moisture-resistant adhesives during manufacturing. However, it is important to note that additional measures, such as applying sealants or laminates, may be necessary to protect the plywood from moisture in wet areas like kitchens or bathrooms.

 

5.) Thickness and Size: Cabinet-grade plywood is available in various thicknesses, typically ranging from 1/4 inch (6mm) to 3/4 inch (19mm). The size of the plywood sheets can vary, but standard dimensions include 4 feet by 8 feet (122cm by 244cm).

 

 

 

It’s worth noting that specific plywood requirements for cabinets can vary depending on factors like the style of cabinets, budget, and personal preferences. Consulting with a professional cabinet maker or supplier can help determine the most suitable plywood options for your specific cabinet project.
