How do I choose the best plywood for my roof?

When it comes to plywood for roofing, there are many options on the market. Depending on your specific requirements and budget, you can choose from the following types of roofing plywood:


For roofing, the most commonly used plywood is called exterior plywood. It is one of the best grades of plywood in terms of strength and durability. It is both very strong and resistant to moisture.


1. Structural plywood


2. Close the plywood


3. General purpose plywood


4. Plywood


Structural plywood is specially designed for exterior use. This type of plywood is very strong, durable and high performing. It is ideal for all types of building and construction applications. Marine grade plywood is one of the most popular construction plywood.


Louver plywood is a type of structural plywood that is primarily used to hold concrete. It is durable and has been tested several times to check its strength and structural integrity.


General plywood is the most common type of plywood used in general applications such as furniture, doors and other interior uses. This type of plywood may not always be suitable for exterior applications, such as roofing, and may require more maintenance than other applications.


CDX is one of the strongest types of plywood. It is made by combining different grades of plywood to achieve a strong material. The "C" in CDX refers to the grade of plywood used on the front, and the "D" refers to the grease used on the plywood on the back. X is the type of glue used to hold the wood layers together. CDX also generally refers to architectural grade wood used for exterior (C) purposes. As for size, plywood comes in different sizes, 4 by 8 feet is the standard size for commercial plywood. Based on the size of the roof and the desired coverage area, the roofer can calculate the size and amount of plywood needed for the job.


Apart from the type of plywood, the thickness of the plywood, size, etc. are some of the other factors to consider when purchasing plywood for roofing. Typically, plywood for roofing must be about 1/2 inch thick, with 3/8 inch being the standard thickness. Thicker plywood is often used in areas with severe weather conditions or where heavy loads are expected.
