About WISA spruce plywood

Spruce plywood excels in structural construction uses, such as floors, walls and roofs. It is light in weight but strong and does not break easily. The closed wood structure of spruce makes it biologically durable: it withstands changing weather conditions on construction sites and in packaging applications.

Benefits of WISA-Spruce plywood’s strength and light weight

WISA-Spruce plywood is the go-to choice for load-bearing structures in construction. It is lightweight and strong, and thanks to the wide range of panel sizes, quick and easy to install. 

Due to its strength and rigidity, a thinner sheet is often sufficient for the construction of structures than with other materials. This means less strain on the foundation of the building. While predominantly used in hidden structures, WISA-Spruce can also be left visible in applications where a livelier plywood surface appearance is welcome. It is technically well-suited for interior projects.

The light weight of building boards is important when they are moved, handled, and installed on site. It is not just about the physical strain on a single person but also about the overall manpower needed for each task on site. For spruce plywood, the weight is up to almost half that of particleboard and OSB, for example. The lightness of WISA-Spruce plywood also has an impact on the overall transport cost and carbon footprint of the build.

All WISA plywood products intended for use in construction have the CE2+ marking, meaning that they will perform exactly as specified.

Plywood for industrial construction 

In a home construction project you are sure to appreciate WISA-Spruce plywood’s reliability, durability and light weight. The light weight and functionality of building boards is important when they are moved, handled and installed on site. The wide range of panel sizes guarantee quick and easy to installation.

The closed wood structure of spruce makes it biologically durable: it can withstand changeable weather conditions on your home building site.

WISA-Spruce can also be left visible in applications where a livelier plywood surface appearance is welcome and is technically well-suited for interior projects.

Plywood for home projects

Its light weight, rigidity and physical and biological durability make WISA-Spruce plywood well-suited for packaging solutions. The closed wood structure of spruce makes it biologically durable. This means that it withstands various weather conditions often encountered in packaging applications.

The specialised WISA-Spruce plywoods can offer a better grip for demanding packaging applications such as loading platforms or, for example, or fire-retardancy where stringent fire regulations need to be met.

WISA-Spruce plywood offers various products tailored to specific needs while retaining all the good features of the base panel. Tongued and grooved panels are, for example, suitable for floors, rough-surfaced panels with non-slip properties are designed for roofs, while fire-retardant panels meet stringent fire regulations. Other options include water-repellent panels, biocide-treated panels and ready-to-paint plywood.

Spruce plywood panels are mostly used in structures hidden from the eye, meaning that appearance becomes secondary. WISA-Spruce can also be left visible, typically in applications with no special appearance requirements, like garages or storage rooms. It also works when going for a slightly livelier, more industrial plywood look.
