 The enormous uses of wood in Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. We use wood in furniture designs, the building of houses and other structures, etc. Wood in Nigeria today is of very good economic importance and contributes heavily to the economic growth of the country. The cost of wood depends on the type, either hardwood or softwood and also on the finishing. There are also different kinds of wood based on the finishing, they are; Plywood, 2 by 2 and 2 by 4 planks, facing boards, tie rods etc. During roofing, hardwoods are always the best for roofing. There are many hardwoods available for roofing, the best among them is cedar woods. Cedar woods are strong, durable and have very high resistance to weather.

Plywood 

Plywood are finely finished woods used for beautiful constructions such as word-ropes, office tables, Chairs etc. There are two 4 different kinds of Plywood, they’re;

  • MDF Plywood
  • HDF Plywood
  • Marine Plywood
  • Ordinary Plywood

The HDF Plywood are the product of composing extracts of chips and pulped wood wastes which are formed by glue under intense heat and pressure. The pressure applied during the production of HDF Plywood is always higher than that of MDF, that’s why HDF is way too more expensive than MDF. They are better and stronger Plywood than MDF Plywood and are used for laminate flooring. The MDF, HDF and all other Plywood have a total length of 8ft and a with of 4ft (8 by 4ft). The difference between them is just their finishes. The MDF and HDF have a thickness of 1 inch. While the other plywood has different thicknesses such as ⅛, ¼, ½, and 1 inch. HDF plywood is the best plywood for making furniture. The surface can always be made to be waterproof.
