Plywood
• Plywood is an engineered wood.
• Made up of multiple layers of thin slices of wood known as veneers.
• All the layers are glued to each other.
• Comes in various sizes like 4’x7’, 4’x8’, etc.
• Comes in various thickness like 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 12mm, 18mm, 24mm, etc.

Solid Wood
• Wood extracted directly from cut pieces of tree barks.
• They are natural pieces of wood, which are not engineered like plywood.
• These require a stain preservative or polish on their surface for smooth finish.

MDF (Medium Density Fibrewood)
• It is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or
solidwood residuals into wood fibres, combining it with wax and a resin biner
and forming it into panels by applying high temperature and pressure.
• Very similar to a particle board, in terms of production, but more denser than
particle board.
• This is more denser and stronger than plywood.

Laminates
• Laminates are thin sheets which are used as a finishing materials on top of
plywoods.
• They are made by bonding together two or more layers of materials.
• Paper is the basic material used for making laminate sheets, which are stuck to
each other using resin.
• They are then bonded with a wooden surface to give it a desired look and finish
using glue and kept under high pressure.
• Different thicknesses are available in the market like 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1mm,
1.5mm, etc.

Veneer
• This is a thin slice of wood or a tree bark usually thinner than 3mm.
• These are glued onto core panels like plywood, mdf, etc.
• These are carefully peeled out keeping the grains in mind, as this is the finished
surface on core materials.
• Finish with polish for better finish and durability.

What is Veneer used for?
• Veneer I used as a surface finish, just like laminates.
• Only difference is, Veneer requires an additional surface treatment like polish,
which is not the case with laminates.

Glass
• It is a non crystalline, often transparent amorphous solid, which is use as one of
the major construction materials.
• Glass is made from sand (which mostly consists of silicon dioxide).
• Sand is heated till it turns to liquid state and undergoes a complete
transformation, becoming an amorphous solid (more like frozen liquid).
• This is then cut into sheets or during the liquid state itself, the shaping is done.
