Plywood Advantage

Particle board tends to be the dominant choice for many who manufacture cabinets and grooming tops. It’s the economical option: cheaper, denser and uniform. However, particle board is prone to expansion due to moisture, resulting in delimitation of the laminated surface. This makes it less than ideal for wet areas such as cages and exam, wet or grooming tables. And particle board also generally lacks structural strength.

That’s why PetLift builds all of our cabinet and exam tops with higher quality plywood board. Opposed to particle board created from wood chips or fiber, plywood is rather made of thin layers of hardwood that are extremely tolerant to moisture. Plywood will not soak up water and swell, making it less susceptible to water damage.

Each layer of wood is also laid with the grain running in a different direction, lending exceptional strength.
