CDX Structural Plywood for Construction

Products Description

CDX plywood has one side veneer grade “C” and one side veneer grade “D”. ,So we called CDX plywood,It is used primarily by contractors to build exterior walls and roofs.

CDX plywood is manufactured similarly to other types of plywood. Opposing layers of wood veneers are laid at right angles and glued together with resinous glue.
To ensure a sturdy surface and a balanced sheet, an odd number of layers are laid. The odd number of veneer layers allows for an even number of glue layers. This prevents plywood from warping, as it stops the glue from weighing one side.
To make CDX plywood, the veneers are rotary cut from a log. This means that sections of logs are placed in a large lathe to create a continuous spiral cut. The long sheet of veneer is then cut before being glued together.
While this process doesn’t produce attractive grain patterns, it’s a cheap construction method. This is partially why CDX plywood is cheaper than other types of plywood.
