Plymasters Hoop Pine Araucaria cunninghamii ply comes from 100% plantation-grown forests. A light cream colour, with a consistent grain pattern, it is brighter than NZ Pine.
This rotary cut softwood, is extremely popular in architectural linings, particularly large ceiling areas. Hoop Pine also has an excellent multi-ply edge detail that suits a wide range of joinery applications.
Performance Attributes
Plywood is a natural product that can be affected by changes in weather conditions: moisture and temperature. Increased moisture content or temperature variation may cause internal stresses causing previously flat sheets to bow. This is particularly applicable to Hoop ply as it is a softwood timber.
Sheet size:
Popular in architectural linings, particularly large ceiling areas, the multi-ply edge detail also suits a wide range of joinery applications.
Limitations on Use
Increased moisture content or temperature variation may cause internal stresses causing previously flat sheets to bow. This is particularly applicable to Hoop ply as it is a softwood timber.
At Plymasters precautions are taken to minimise this effect. However, once the panel has left the warehouse Plymasters cannot guarantee sheets to remain flat unless fastened. This is particularly important where free standing kitchen/cabinet doors are concerned. Stack on a firm raised base with enough support to prevent sagging. Cover the pallet to protect top and edges.
