    Plywood

    Single or multi-layer drivable event flooring for light to heavy loads

    WHAT IS PLYWOOD?

    Plywood has a multitude of site uses. It is suitable for covering natural surfaces, playing surfaces, or floors such as athletics tracks. You can use an easy-to-work wooden solution to build walkways, roads, and stable surfaces quickly.

    Easy Applicable

    Plywood is universally applicable. It is suitable for covering natural surfaces, such as lawns or plastic floors, tartan tracks. The easy-to-work wooden panels can be used to build short paths, roads, and surfaces quickly. The load-bearing capacity depends on the nature of the floor to be covered and on the layers laid.

    For Temporary Paths and Substructures

    The floor protection system is laid in one or more layers, depending on the intended use. For example, one layer is enough for temporary transport paths such as mixer roads to supply the lighting and sound equipment with the necessary material. You can also use the ground protection system to create substructures for small stages and grandstands.

    Even For High Point Loads

    You can optimally distribute even high point loads in multiple layers. For example, the ground cover, which protects the base, offers additional protection at stadium entrances. It also offers ample protection for driving vehicles such as forklifts, cranes, or trucks. The system is also used to construct heavy-duty roads, ramps, or other safe transitions, for example, via drainage channels.

    PRODUCT FEATURES FOR PLYWOOD

    Plywood consists of thin layers of wood that are glued and pressed into a single robust panel. As a relatively lightweight material, it is easy to transport, and you can install it manually. The nature of the material makes it easy to process and cut-to-size, resulting in a wide range of bespoke applications.

    Extremely durable and versatile

    The 2 cm (1 ft) high Plywood panels are made of solid layered wood. They are 2.44 meters (8 ft) long and 1.22 meters (4 ft) wide. This means that each panel can cover an area of around 3 square meters (32 ft²). Also, the stable wooden panels have a smooth surface on both top and bottom.

    The extremely durable and versatile ground protection system is available in the natural color of the wood. We supply these panels in stacks of 50 panels. In addition to transport, we can also take care of the installation, the dismantling, and the final cleaning.

    PLYWOOD: DID YOU KNOW?

    This solution offers high-transport and cost-efficiency. What’s more, is that a variety of possible applications characterizes this drivable event flooring. Another important feature is the rapid construction of short transport routes and the excellent load distribution on soft grounds.

    Easy to Process and Cut to Size

    The material makes it easy to process and cut the panels to size. On the one hand, this results in a wide range of applications. On the other hand, it fills gaps and allows surfaces to be precisely laid. However, wood is more susceptible to weather influences. Humid panels are prone to high solar exposure.

    Pay Attention to The Weather conditions

    Thus, and because of the slippery nature of the boards when wet, you should not use them in spectator areas. Since the floor covering is neither translucent to light nor permeable to air, we recommend a maximum of three days of rest on sensitive green areas, depending on the weather conditions.

    What are the Advantages of Plywood?

    • High transport and cost-efficiency
    • Allows for onsite flexibility and adaptability
    • Capable of supporting high point loading when installed in multiple layers on a firm subsurface
    • The ease of install makes Plywood suitable for dry hire.
    • Suitable for flat ground conditions
    • As sunlight and air cannot penetrate the wood, Plywood is optimal for short-term installs.

    BEST PRACTICE

    Plywood is quickly ready for use and withstands even heavy vehicles on soft surfaces due to the very good load distribution

    OPTIONAL EXTRAS FOR PLYWOOD

    To counteract any indentation in the covered floor, we also have protective underlays available. You can lay out the underlays before the installation of the panels. In this way, it is also possible to prevent the bottom of the panels from becoming too dirty.

    Best protection and optimal load distribution

    For soft floors, we recommend tear-resistant geotextile. This fleece underlay is also suitable for higher loads. For harder soils and low loads, we provide PE foil. In extreme loads, such as when using a crane on the sensitive lawn of a football pitch, the three- to four-layer panels may have to be additionally stabilized with steel panels, wooden planks, or both supplements. Plywood provides the best protection for grounds and ensures optimum load distribution.

    What Are the Extensions for Plywood?

    • eps offers an optional range of underlays to protect the sub-surface and adapt to ground conditions
    • Supa-Trac and eps Pro are effective solutions for pedestrian access requirements.
    • Box Panels, Arena Panels, and LD Rolls can facilitate heavy-duty, pedestrian-friendly vehicle access.
