Description

Heavy-Duty Structural CDX Plywood: Engineered for Strength

Structural CDX Plywood is the industry standard for construction projects that require maximum load-bearing capacity and resilience. Designed for both residential and commercial applications, CDX plywood provides the essential shear strength and dimensional stability needed for roofing, flooring, and wall sheathing.

The “CDX” designation refers to its veneer quality: a Grade C face and Grade D back, bonded with Exterior (X) glue, making it a tough, cost-effective solution for structural elements that will eventually be covered.

Key Performance Features:

  • Certified Structural Integrity: Engineered to meet rigorous building codes, ensuring superior resistance to bending and impact under heavy loads.

  • Exterior Glue (X-Tax): Manufactured with high-quality WBP/Phenolic resin, allowing the panels to withstand temporary exposure to moisture during the construction phase without delaminating.

  • Excellent Fastener Retention: The dense, cross-laminated core provides exceptional screw and nail-holding power, ensuring a secure and long-lasting build.

  • Cost-Effective Durability: Offers the highest strength-to-weight ratio, providing a professional-grade structural solution at a competitive price point.

Primary Applications:

  • Roof Sheathing: Provides a solid, stable base for shingles and waterproofing membranes.

  • Sub-flooring: Acts as a high-strength structural layer beneath hardwood, tile, or carpet.

  • Wall Sheathing: Enhances the lateral bracing and insulation of timber-framed buildings.

  • DIY & Utility Projects: Ideal for building workbenches, shelving in garages, and temporary protective barriers.


Technical Specification Summary:

  • Grade: CDX (C-Grade Face, D-Grade Back).

  • Bond Type: Exterior Glue (Phenolic Resin).

  • Standard Compliance: Meets PS 1-09 or equivalent structural standards.

  • Surface: Un-sanded (natural rough texture for better traction and bonding).
