PlyPlay™
Description

PlyPlay™ is a prefinished, UV-coated plywood made from sustainably grown plantation pine and birch on a poplar core. Panels have a finish quality and durability that can be achieved only in a controlled factory environment.

PlyPlay pine is available in three colours – Naturally Naked, Blonde Ambition and Double Trouble – or birch UV Clear with satin, matt and 3% blonde finishes, both on a poplar core. Custom coating is available for special projects in your choice of panel type and finish.

PlyPlay panels are available in 2400mm × 1200mm and 2700mm × 1200mm sizes, are 12mm thick, and feature pine or birch B-face surfaces with a single-sided coating, sealed rear face and sealed edges.

Key Features
  • Prefinished for faster installation. Based on plywood sheets, PlyPlay’s factory-coated, modular panels simplify the construction process. Fewer trades needed on site achieves a compressed time frame when lining an interior. PlyPlay is ideal for transforming existing spaces, such as garages, sheds and baches, and for use in 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.
  • Warranty. PlyPlay comes with a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.
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.

Limitations on Use

PlyPlay panels are manufactured from natural timber substrates, and variation in colour tone, grain and surface character is an inherent feature of the material. Differences in shade and texture may occur between panels, including those from the same production batch, and are considered part of the product’s natural aesthetic rather than a defect.
