Although the majority of plywood products are versatile and have a wide range of uses, it’s important to consider all the factors before choosing the right plywood for each room in your house. Different areas demand different qualities and it’s absolutely essential to fully determine your needs before choosing your product.
The most popular areas for plywood are kitchens, dining rooms, and outdoor spaces. Keep reading to learn the best plywood to use in each of these areas.
Plywood for Kitchens
Kitchens are the area of the house that probably receives the most wear and tear over time. Therefore, it’s absolutely essential to choose a product that will not only last, but also continue to look beautiful. As such a central part of the home, the longevity of your kitchen will heavily depend on your plywood choice.
Here are some key factors to consider when choosing your kitchen plywood:
- Resistance to heat, water, scratching, and impact: kitchens receive a lot of wear and tear and your plywood selection must be durable.
- Sizing and machining options: many kitchen furniture and cabinets need to be custom made to match the spacing requirements of the area. Therefore, it’s essential to consider the sizing options of the plywood before making your final decision.
- Aesthetics: as we mentioned before, kitchens are one of the most central rooms in the home, especially when entertaining. Remember to consider the aesthetic factor when choosing your plywood and opt for natural wood faces, like birch or oak, that truly highlight the beauty of the wood.

Plywood for Dining Rooms
Dining rooms are a place to eat and, above all, have a welcoming environment to have a meal with loved ones. Therefore, the room must be designed in a way that reflects that environment.
When choosing your dining room plywood, it’s important to consider a lightweight product for shelves and cabinets that are easy to machine and install but don’t take away from the wood’s natural beauty. Just like kitchens, dining room furniture like tables, chairs, and shelves and cabinets receive a lot of wear and tear and must be durable, resistant to impact and scratching, and waterproof.
