IBS Plyfloor

Plyfloor is an F11 structural plywood. The veneers are glued with an exterior phenol-formaldehyde resin. The Plyfloor sheets are CD grade; no open or loose knotholes and only minor face repairs. Sheets are supplied treated to H3.2 (micronized copper azole or MCA).

The sheets have a plastic tongue down one edge and a groove on the opposite edge down the length of the sheet. This enables edge jointing without the need for additional timber support.

Sheet sizes (length x width x depth, mm) are:

• 2400 x 1200 x 19.

IBS supplies PlyFloor for use as an internal flooring substrate, and as a substrate under roofing or decking waterproof membranes.
