Best Answer - Chosen by Voters Plywood is thin layers of wood peeled off a log, glued together, and dried under pressure. Plyboard is made from wood chips coated with glue and dried into the board shape. Plywood is stronger, water resistant (with the right glue) , and more attractive to look at whether painted or stained.. Link: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090215200244AA... Maybe it is better to keep plywood and plyboard as separate concepts also in Swedish. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-03-01 17:36:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another reference, more closely related to the industry: Osteraas J. Structural potential of a Douglas-fir veneered urea-bonded extruded particleboard (‘plyboard’). U.S. Forest Products Laboratory Internal Report, 1974. Link: http://www.exponent.com/files/Attorney/b2224cd8-457a-4dae-99... Establishes a connection between particleboard and plyboard -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-03-01 17:38:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Gullberg: Swedish spånplatta English particle board -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2010-03-01 18:33:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Reference from manufacturer, with images: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://img.tradeindia... The images show that: plain particleboard has no veneer plyboard is a particleboard with veneer -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2010-03-01 18:44:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Using the Osteraas reference it seems that plyboard is veneered particleboard, which is also supported by the manufacturer image reference. This seems to suggest the following translation: English plyboard Swedish fanerad spånskiva A Google search on "fanerad spånskiva" gives a more healthy number of hits. Also, Swedish image references for "fanerad spånskiva" supports this concept. |
