Comparison of 3ply CDX to 5ply CDX for your Home Roofing Project

A question has been asked of me, as to why anyone would buy 3ply CDX plywood in comparison to 5ply CDX plywood. 3ply CDX costs more than 5ply CDX plywood. It is not the greatest material out there as far as home improvement projects go and, in particular, roofing projects. Some issues that many people have with 3ply CDX, outside of the higher price, include the fact that 3ply CDX Plywood does not hold its rigidity or strength in the moister. And sometimes the lamination will fade when it gets wet, which could cause issues for your home improvement project, especially if you used this 3ply on a particular roofing project. However, 3ply CDX plywood is easier to kerf (curving the plywood board for a round application) so that it would give you one benefit over 5ply CDX plywood. If you have to make a choice, a good bet might be to go with an OSB Board Plywood (oriented strand board).  It is actually stronger and more durable than either 3ply CDX board, or 5ply CDX plywood.
