Important information:
- Species and colour will vary. This product is manufactured from mixed tropical hardwoods. Colour ranges from light blonde to dark red and will vary between sheets and batches. Images and samples should be used as a general reference only.
- All surfaces must be sealed. While the A-Bond glueline is waterproof, the timber veneers require sealing and finishing for exterior durability. Unsealed panels will deteriorate when exposed to weather.
- As a natural wood product, plywood can be affected by ambient conditions and may bow. Sheets are flat at dispatch but must be fastened promptly to maintain flatness. This is particularly important for non-fastened cabinet doors.
