Introduction to Plywood Ratings and Grades
There are different types of plywood available in the market. Selection of plywood must be based on the purpose of use and properties such as resistance (moisture, chemical and strength). Since understanding such properties involve technicalities, thus, Amulya Mica simplifies the process of ply selection for consumers by classifying their products based on ratings and grades. In this blog post, Amulya Mica as a top notch plywood manufacturer in India explains plywood ratings and plywood grades to simplify the process of plywood selection for consumers. Plywood selection process becomes much simpler with plywood ratings and grades at Amulya Mica.
