Applying a finish coat to plywood can be expensive, time-consuming, and give inconsistent results. Is there a better way? The simple answer is 'yes'.
Purchasing prefinished plywood reduces production times and increases productivity by offering a finished panel that can be used in a wide variety of interior applications. Since these prefinished products are ready for processing upon arrival, they give installers the ability to complete a project faster and more efficiently.
Other benefits of ordering prefinished panels include:
- Efficient for getting a finish on hard-to-finish areas, like drawers and cabinet interiors.
- Consistent finish with every panel guaranteed: color and gloss level.
- Cost effective – cheaper than finishing in-house for those surfaces. No sanding. Less labor.

Other alternatives
Two pack polyurethanes are also recommended, providing a non-yellowing finish with outstanding chemical and abrasion resistance. This finish has excellent durability due to its colour fastness to UV light, thereby providing maximum gloss and colour retention. Applications such as laboratory bench tops, school desks and decorative flooring require this type of hard-wearing finish.
