Achieve seamless curves and structural arcs with our 5mm Flexible Plywood. Specifically engineered for the furniture and shopfitting industries, this "Bendy Ply" is designed to be manipulated into tight radiuses without cracking or splitting. Available in both Long Grain and Short Grain configurations, it provides the perfect substrate for curved reception desks, arched doorways, pillars, and bespoke cabinetry.
Grain Orientation & Bending Capabilities
Understanding grain direction is essential for achieving the correct curve for your project:
Short Grain (1220mm x 2440mm): The grain runs across the 1220mm width. This board rolls into a short tube (like a wide barrel), making it ideal for low, wide cylindrical shapes.
Long Grain (2440mm x 1220mm): The grain runs along the 2440mm length. This board rolls into a long tube (like a tall pillar), perfect for vertical columns and tall curved panels.
Key Features & Benefits
Ultra-Flexible 5mm Thickness: Specifically manufactured to provide maximum pliability while maintaining structural integrity.
Time-Saving Solution: Eliminates the need for traditional "kerfing" or steam bending, significantly reducing labor costs on complex shapes.
Smooth Surface Finish: Once fixed into position, the surface is ready for veneering, laminating, or painting to match your design.
Stable Construction: Constructed with specialized cross-layered veneers that allow bending in one direction while remaining rigid in the other.
Versatile Application: The go-to material for film and stage sets, curved bars, spiral staircases, and wave-form ceilings.
