Replace Plywood Floors with ResinDek^® Flooring Panels

Plywood is made from peeler logs. Thin layers are peeled from wood logs by rotating them along their horizontal axis. The sheets of veneer obtained from this process are cut to the desired dimensions, dried, patched, glued together, and then baked to form a plywood panel.

Depending on the grade of plywood, it may or may not be smooth and can pose many various risk factors in your warehouse:

• Plywood floors aren’t engineered to support robotic or rolling traffic
• Offers scant resistance to wear and will often split, crack & delaminate
• Is difficult to clean and maintain
• Prone to water damage and absorbs stains
• Worn plywood that has splinters & is cracked can create trip hazards
• Difficult to transport wheeled loads (carts, pallet jacks, dollies)

Further, plywood is frequently constructed with ureaformaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde resin which are carcinogenic in very high concentration and could potentially have negative health effects on workers — including mild to moderate irritation of the eyes, nose, or throat.
