Untreated Plywood – Sales & Usage Terms
Product Description
This product is imported untreated plywood, suitable for indoor use, DIY projects, and temporary non-structural applications. It has not been chemically treated for moisture or pest resistance.

These are natural characteristics of timber products and do not constitute product defects.
Customers are advised to allow the plywood to acclimate for at least 48 hours in the intended environment before use. When installing, allow for appropriate expansion gaps.
Warranty Terms
- This is a natural wood product. No returns or exchanges will be accepted for natural grain variation, minor dimensional changes, or slight warping.

Storage Recommendations
Do not store directly on concrete or damp surfaces.
