Which is better engineered wood or plywood?

Engineered wood and plywood are both excellent building materials, but they are different. Engineered wood is made of layers of wood strands or veneers, bonded together with adhesives.

Plywood is a type of engineered wood, made of thin layers of wood pressed and glued together in alternating directions. Engineered wood has a uniform internal structure and is more dimensionally stable than plywood, which makes it better suited for applications such as flooring.

Plywood is less expensive than engineered wood, and may provide better sound insulation, so it‘s better suited for certain construction projects. Ultimately, the best choice depends on the specific project and the desired properties.
