Canadian Plywood - CANPLY: Over 50 Years of Excellence Quality Tested and Certified UK and European Code Approved The Canadian Plywood Association (CANPLY), formerly the plywood sector of the Council of Forest Industries (COFI), has a New Mark of Excellence - CANPLY - the mark of continued commitment to certified quality and service to buyers and users of superior Canadian plywood. CANPLY EXTERIOR certified plywood is referenced, complete with design values, in BS 5268: Part 2 Code of practice for permissible stress design, materials, and workmanship. New Mark CANPLY EXTERIOR plywood exceeds bond requirements of EN 314-2 for Class 3 non-covered exterior (replaces WBP designation • CANPLY EXTERIOR Plywood -Premium quality veneer under BS 6566: Part 8). -Douglas Fir, Spruce, Aspen -Waterproof glue bond -Formerly COFI EXTERIOR • CANPLY Certified Quality Old Mark CANPLY is a non-profit organization proudly representing and serving the manufacturers of plywood, veneer and veneer composite products in Canada. -Internationally Accredited -Meets/exceeds Codes/Standards requirements internationally including: UK, Germany, France, US and Japan. -Approved under BSI Stockists Scheme Originally founded in 1950 as the Plywood Manufacturers Association of British Columbia (PMBC), and later a branch of the Council of Forest Industries (COFI), CANPLY has had a long history of service to its members and their customers. CANPLY has evolved over the years from an association of coastal British Columbia manufacturers focused on establishing standards into a multi-faceted organization with both a national and international mandate to serve the many and varied interests of its members. • CANPLY Technical Centre -Built in 1962 -Advanced testing facility -Plywood roof construction with 7200 sq/ft of column free space Internationally Accredited Certification Program Quality Control is our Top Priority CANPLY operates an internationally accredited certification program ensuring compliance with specified standards. CANPLY inspectors thoroughly audit production by regularly inspecting our mills. Inspectors perform a series of on-site evaluations for grade and panel thickness and select random panels for further testing at the CANPLY Technical Centre. Certified CANPLY lab technicians complete the quality auditing process by performing a series of rigorous tests which verify glue bond integrity and panel strength. Canadian Pride since 1950 • High Tech Mills Are More Efficient -Logs average only 25 cm in diameter -100% of log used for veneer or by-products -Timber harvested from managed sustainable forests Canadian plywood production continues to be one of the success stories of the Canadian Forest Industry. For over 50 years, manufacturers have strived to make Canadian plywood the finest quality in the world. Mills employ highly skilled personnel who operate state-of-the-art equipment to maximize efficiency. Canadian plywood production is a value added industry, employing four times as many people compared to the manufacture of substitute wood-based panels using the same number of logs. • Canadian Pride -From Mill to Market our commitment to quality is marked on every panel. Commitment to Sustainable Forests Plywood manufacturing in Canada is an environmentally responsible industry. Trees are harvested only from managed sustainable forests under strict government regulations. For each tree harvested, 3 to 4 seedlings are replanted. Natural bio-diversity is maintained by planting seedlings of over 20 coniferous and deciduous species. • CANPLY Inspectors -Perform over 160 mill audits/year -Ensure that domestic and international Standards are met • Keeping a watchful eye The plywood industry maintains a vigilant stance to ensure that the forests they harvest from remain plentiful, vibrant and healthy.

High performance CANPLY EXTERIOR plywood panels are perfectly suited to timber frame construction for walls, roofs and floors. Plywood sheathing accelerates construction time and makes a major contribution to the overall strength, racking resistance and quality of timber frame buildings. Floor Sheathing The proven superior all-weather performance of CANPLY EXTERIOR plywood make it an excellent structural covering for suspended timber ground floors and for upper story platform floors. Select or Select-Tight Face grades of DFP or CSP can be applied directly to floor joists to form an ideal subfloor beneath linoleum, carpet, tiles and wood block flooring. SelectTight Face grade is particularly suitable for use under resilient flooring, providing a smooth surface where knotholes and other surface imperfections have been filled. Tongue and groove panels are particularly suitable for floor sheathing as the interlocking joints make blocking at unsupported edges unnecessary. (For heavy industrial or wheel loadings, additional blocking of T&G joints may be required.) EASY T&G are new innovative T&G panels from CANPLY engineered to slip together easily even in wet conditions. These patented, specially profiled panels, manufactured in DFP and CSP, in thicknesses of 15.5 mm, 18.5 mm and 20.5 mm help builders sheathe floors faster than with ordinary T&G panels. Plywood span tables are available from CANPLY. (For domestic floor loading, plywood span tables can be found in BS8103:Part 3.) Roof and Wall Sheathing Sheathing grade DFP or CSP plywood is recommended for roof and wall sheathing. This unsanded plywood grade is economical and widely used in general construction where a sanded surface is not needed. Sheathing grade plywood provides a solid base for roof and exterior wall finishes. For pitched roof sarking and for walls, the use of 9.5 mm plywood spanning supports spaced up to 600 mm on centre is typical. EASY T&G ROOF is manufactured in DFP and CSP at a thickness of 12.5 mm. The specially designed edge profile makes roof sheathing particularly fast and easy. The panels require no H-clips for intermediate edge supports; the T&G joint eliminates differential deflection between adjoining panels and provides an immediate weather-tight covering. (For long spans or heavy roof loads, requiring thicker panels, the thicker EASY T&G floor profile should be substituted.) Concrete Formwork CANPLY EXTERIOR Plywood for Concrete Formwork Plywood is one of the world's most widely used materials for the construction of concrete forms because it lends itself to all types of formwork from the large and complex to the small and simple. Formwork materials are selected on the basis of maximum overall operation economy consistent with safety and the quality of finish desired. CANPLY EXTERIOR Douglas Fir plywood more than meets all these requirements. CANPLY EXTERIOR DFP for concrete forming is available edge sealed, treated with chemical release agents, in sanded and unsanded grades, with special constructions, and with phenolic resin cellulose fibre overlays. Sanded grades produce a smooth, wood-grained finish valued by many architects. Unsanded grades are suitable for formwork where the appearance of the concrete is less important such as in subsurface foundations. Overlays produce the highest quality concrete finish. They also help protect the plywood from oil and wax, simplify form stripping and extend the service life of the concrete forms. C O F I F O R M and COFIFORM PLUS are special constructions of DFP panels designed specifically for use as concrete formwork. These panels are significantly stiffer than standard constructions of DFP in wet service conditions due to the species and ply thickness limitations during manufacture. COFIFORM PLUS is the strongest concrete forming panel manufactured by CANPLY members. • COFI FORM SP PLUS -Premium panels made only with high strength Douglas Fir veneers with strict limits on face and cross band thicknesses. • Reusable Time and Again -COFI FORM panels are 20% to 40% stronger than similar thicknesses of standard Douglas Fir plywood of the same thickness and are designed for faster pour rates. Simply because it outperforms all substitute wood-based panels on the market today. Plywood is a highly stable panel. When exposed to moisture or high humidity, plywood is up to seven times more resistant to thickness swell than substitute wood-based panels. Plywood also returns to its original dimensions when it dries. Plywood has over 50 years of proven service as a structural panel for homes and construction and remains, according to surveys, the panel of choice by home buyers, contractors, architects and engineers. Plywood is stronger than substitute wood-based panels in the four important engineering strength properties of bending, tension, compression and planar shear and plywood weighs up to 40% less than substitute wood-based panels of equivalent thickness. Plywood is manufactured from logs averaging 25 cm (10 inches) in diameter from managed sustainable forests. 100% of the log is utilized for either veneer, or by-products, such as 2x4 lumber, landscaping ties or chips for pulp and paper. Nothing is wasted. Plywood is a highly impact-resistant panel and continues to perform even when wet. Plywood manufacturing, because it is a value added process, employs four times as many people compared to the manufacture of substitute wood-based panels - using the same volume of logs.
