This flexible plywood panel is commonly called ‘Bendy plywood’ or ‘Flexi-ply’, and is used extensively in furniture and shop fitting, wherever curves are desirable, thus demanding a panel that is extremely flexible. Plywood with this flexible characteristic is manufactured from specially treated veneers, usually with a thinner central core veneer and two thicker ‘tenderized’ outer veneers. The special construction of particular species of veneers gives an unusually large degree of flexibility and offers a most cost-effective way of producing rounded columns and other curved structures of very small radius in rounded or S-shaped structures without water or the need for heat-forming. Flexible Plywood can be easily bent to shape. The arc formed by the bend is perpendicular to the grain direction of the face. The exact bending radii have to be determined in accordance with the type of surface finishing required and the extent of the surface to be treated.
