Plywood’s edge in humid climates

Plywood remains the top choice for American homebuilders, especially in Texas, thanks to its strength, moisture resistance, and cost-effectiveness. Even with competition from engineered wood products, plywood continues to outperform in humid climates and demanding construction environments.

In Texas’s hot, storm-prone regions, builders rely on CDX plywood for its durability and exposure resistance. At the same time, high-density overlay panels are favored for concrete molds that can last up to 50 pours. From roof decking to cabinetry, plywood proves its versatility across every stage of homebuilding.
