Product Introduction:
Metsa Wood Spruce WeatherGuard is a spruce plywood panel which has a hydrophobic surface. The surface rejects rainwater and therefore reduces the amount of water absorbed by the panel whilst, at the same time, allowing the panel to breathe letting water vapour movements to and fro. Metsa Wood Spruce WeatherGuard plywood is made of cross-bonded 3 mm thick coniferous veneers and bonded with a weather and boil-resistant phenolic resin adhesive
