PVC Plywood
PVC Plywood is a wood–plastic composite plywood where the core and/or outer layers contain PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) along with wood veneers. It’s designed to combine the strength and workability of plywood with the waterproof, termite-proof, and rot-proof qualities of PVC.
In some cases, the term “PVC Plywood” is also used for PVC foam boards laminated with decorative films, marketed as a plywood alternative — but technically, true PVC plywood is a hybrid product.

100% waterproof – No swelling or delamination in wet areas.
-
Termite and borer proof – PVC prevents insect damage.
-
Good strength – Retains structural stability of plywood.
-
No need for painting/polishing – Pre-laminated finishes are common.
-
Low maintenance – Easy to clean and stain-resistant.
