Plywood Sheathing

Plywood sheathing is a durable engineered wood product used as roof decking material. It provides strength, flexibility, and resistance to cracking under load. Plywood is widely used in residential roofing systems due to its reliability and ease of installation. In Vancouver’s damp climate, plywood sheathing must be properly sealed and ventilated to prevent moisture damage and delamination over time.
