Scope of use

PlyPlay™ is designed for wall and ceiling lining in residential and commercial applications, excluding high-humidity situations. It is a low-formaldehyde plywood, manufactured from sustainably grown plantation pine and birch.

Suitable for baches, houses, garages, apartments, granny flats, utility spaces, commercial interiors, gymnasiums, hospitality and retail applications.

Features

Prefinished for faster installation

Based on plywood sheets, PlyPlay’s factory-coated, modular panels simplify the construction process. With fewer trades needed on site, you will achieve a compressed time frame when lining an interior. PlyPlay is ideal for transforming existing spaces, such as garages, sheds and baches, and for use on prefabricated housing, commercial feature walls and ceilings.

UV-coated for greater durability

PlyPlay features a durable surface coating, which uses ultraviolet light to cure the paint – a photochemical process that binds the pigments. UV-cured paints are tougher than conventional coatings, offering improved resistance to impact, scratch and general wear. The PlyPlay surface will last longer than most architectural paint systems, so requires less maintenance over its lifetime.

VOC-free paint

The factory-based UV-curing technology uses paints that are free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Coatings are instantly dried on the UV line, with no subsequent VOC emissions, resulting in cleaner air than in conventional surface-coating processes.

Timber at a better price point

PlyPlay brings the grain and character of timber to walls and ceilings at a more affordable price than solid timber. Panels are also faster to install – one large room can be completed within a day.
