Laminate vs. Plywood — What's the Difference?

To cover with a thin sheet of material, as for preservation.

Plywood is a material manufactured from thin layers or "plies" of wood veneer that are glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees to one another. It is an engineered wood from the family of manufactured boards which include medium-density fibreboard (MDF), oriented strand board (OSB) and particle board (chipboard).

To make by uniting several layers.

(countable) A specific grade or type of this construction material.
