Choosing the Right Type of Plywood From Gunns

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 say 5ply CDX plywood. 3ply CDX cost more than 5ply CDX plywood and 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 outside of  the higher price include the fact that 3ply CDX plywood, is that it doesn't hold it's rigidity and strength in the moister and sometimes the lamination will fade when it gets went, which could cause issues for your home improvement project, especially if you used it on a particular roofing project. However, 3ply CDX plywood is easier to kerf (curving the plywood board for a round application) so that 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) plywood as it is actually stronger and more durable than either 3 ply CDX board, or 5 ply CDX plywood.
