Hardwood Bracing Plywood (F22) serves as an optimal choice for wall and roof bracing purposes. Its utilization in timber-framed structures allows designers to incorporate expansive openings and extensive glass areas in external walls, as well as bolster additional wall strength in cyclonic regions.
Though its visibility is fleeting during the construction phase, bracing plywood provides enduring protection against wind damage throughout the building’s lifespan.
Crafted from a blend of hardwood species ethically sourced from regulated forestry and bonded with A Bond glue to meet AS2269 standards, F22 Hardwood bracing plywood is available in both untreated and H2-S treated variations (designed to combat termites).
It’s crucial to ensure that all installation procedures for bracing plywood align with the Building Code of Australia and AS 1684 – Residential Timber Framed Construction Code.
