difference between structural plywood and WBP plywood

I generally found the hardwood face of WBP ply better finished and less likely to delaminate.

I'm sure the carpenters will be along with far more technical detail.

 

Hi guys,

just wondered what the difference was between
structural ply, and WBP ply. I know that WBP is water
boiling proof, and can be used externally, just
wondered what structural offers over/under WBP.

Going to be replacing floorboards for an ensuite that
will be tiled, and am planning on using WBP
currently, but just wanted to know the difference.

Thanks guys!

Structural ply meets the standards of BS 5268 which is the structural use of timber code of practice.

 

WBP is the acronymn for Water Boiled Proofing a form of treatment for making polywood to an exterior grade and water resistant - The BS is the documented standard by which is is tested and may apply to many materials as it is the test and not tthe material necessarily that is the criteria of the BS test. It is more than adequate for flooring and the best choice to make

 

Wrong AGAIN chartley Fartly.


WBP = Weather and Boil Proof


Get outa here!

WBP is the acronymn for Water Boiled Proofing

No it's not..

Water and boil proof refers to the type of adhesive used in the contruction of the ply.

Have a look at the link and learn.

Oh dear. So you're wrong too.

From links from your quoted site, here's some people who actually sell the stuff.

Yep - I'm wrong too.

Confirmed by TRADA, (Timber Research and Developemnt Association) - it's still noting to do with the timber content of the ply, though, purely referring to the glue line, this being either phenol formaldehyde or resorcinol resin.

 

Yep. But it's still 'Weather & Boil Proof'.

Errrrrr so what - Its weather resistant and suitable for outdoor use

Some say its water boiled some say different so what?

Stop wasting your lives chasing stupid pedantic differences. You are not rectifying errors but indeed stirring for a ruck - Shut up and be constructive

 

It is constructive, Fartly, to have an inkling before you open your gob.

refreshing topic - do any of you think this board is good to be used outside shed? (i`m planning to build one myslef)

 

Which one?

 

WBP plywood board - i was thinking about 5mm
