With the pandemic bringing changes to how people view travel and social distancing, many are now choosing Caravans and Tiny Houses for their vacations. While many sectors faced challenges during this time, Caravans and Tiny Houses stood out as rapidly growing industries.
Lightweight and Stylish…
Whether you are repairing an old caravan, making adjustments to an existing Tiny House, or have just purchased a new caravan, most caravan owners want their own touch on the décor.
One of the most crucial aspects of a Caravan or Tiny House is mobility, making it important to have a stylish yet lightweight design. With the rise in popularity of Tiny Houses and Caravans, “plywood” has become the most important design element, thanks to its cost advantages, lightness, and functional solutions. Plywood is an engineered wood product made from several thin layers of wood veneer. These layers are glued together in different thicknesses to create different types of plywood. It is highly durable and resistant to shrinking and warping.
Plywood laminate panels have been a popular choice in the Caravan and Tiny House industry for some time. With a combination of cost-effectiveness, lightness, and unique visual capabilities, they offer the best solutions for Caravan and Tiny House construction. Plywood laminate panels are a type of plywood with both sides covered with high-pressure laminate, available in various colors.
For wall and ceiling cladding and interior decoration of caravans, the best plywood products are poplar and birch BB grade surfaced panels. For wet areas, laminated versions of these plywood types are commonly used. When it comes to visual aesthetics, birch BB surfaced plywood offers a first-class quality, preferred by caravan manufacturers for both its appearance and its durable structure.
For the exterior cladding of your Tiny House and caravans, marine-grade birch plywood is often used: it allows for desired surface effects thanks to CNC surface treatments, provides the desired colors and decors with water and solvent-based wood paints, shows maximum resistance to external factors due to its marine feature, and meets the expectations of users with its natural wood appearance.
No matter the style or size of Tiny Houses and Caravans, there will always be areas exposed to water and moisture. Whether it’s a kitchen, a bathroom, or a modest sink, water is unavoidable. In such areas, marine-grade birch plywood should be used. Birch plywood is specially designed to withstand water while maintaining its structural and visual integrity.
