Better Alternative than Lauan and Meranti Plywood

RevolutionPly® Plywood – The Best Alternative to Lauan and Meranti Plywood

RevolutionPly® plywood offers a sustainable, high-performance alternative to traditional Lauan and Meranti plywood. Unlike tropical hardwood panels, RevolutionPly® contains no tropical hardwoods and is made entirely from plantation-grown, renewable wood sources. With a uniform appearance, consistent quality, and eco-friendly manufacturing, RevolutionPly® is the smart, long-term replacement for Lauan and Meranti plywood panels.

Why Choose RevolutionPly® Over Lauan or Meranti Plywood?

Every sheet of RevolutionPly® is engineered for consistency in color, grain, and finish quality—making it ideal for a wide range of applications where traditional Lauan or Meranti plywood may fall short.

1. Flooring Plywood Underlayment

Traditionally, Lauan or Meranti plywood has been used beneath vinyl and laminate floors. However, these panels now suffer from inconsistent quality, poor strength, and unsustainable sourcing.

RevolutionPly® is a better underlayment choice, offering:

  •        Smooth, blemish-free surface
  •        Consistent thickness and density
  •        100% sustainable wood source
  •        Easy installation with full installation guide available at www.RevolutionPly.com

2. Furniture, Cabinetry, and Millwork

Meranti and Lauan plywood were once popular in cabinet and furniture manufacturing. But with the decline in their quality, they are no longer reliable for fine woodworking.

RevolutionPly® offers superior performance for furniture and cabinetry:

  •        Straight, uniform grain ideal for cutting and scoring
  •        Even coloring from sheet to sheet
  •        No knots or voids for a premium finish

3. Wall Paneling Applications

Used historically for wall paneling, Lauan and Meranti plywood can now be unpredictable in appearance and performance.

RevolutionPly® is the ideal choice for decorative and functional paneling:

  •        Clean, attractive face for visible surfaces
  •        Reliable quality across shipments
  •        Environmentally responsible and formaldehyde-free

4. Woodworking and DIY Projects

For decades, 1/4" Lauan and Meranti plywood were the go-to panels for small-scale woodworking. Now, RevolutionPly® is the preferred option, offering:

  •        Smooth, uniform face for finishing
  •        Easy to sand, cut, and paint
  •        Available in a variety of thicknesses for multiple project types
