Plywood external cladding

A wide range of plywood products exist that can be used as external cladding. For maximum efficiency plywood can be used for wall bracing as well as cladding. All plywood external cladding must be treated against fungal attack.

For maximum durability, the exposed face of plywood cladding should be finished with a water repellent or acrylic latex paint finish. Edges of plywood panels must be sealed.
