Flexible Plywood — Sample (90 × 90 mm) Order a 90 mm × 90 mm Flexible (Bendy/Flexi) Plywood sample to evaluate bendability, face quality, core layup, and edge integrity before purchasing full sheets or cut-to-size parts. Perfect for testing minimum bend radius, laminate/veneer adhesion, and finish behaviour on curved work. Ready to buy boards?

About Flexible Plywood Flexible plywood is built from multiple thin veneers laid up to allow easy bending into smooth curves. Available in long-grain (bends across the width) and cross-grain (bends along the length) formats, it’s a go-to material for counter fronts, columns, wave walls, and display features where standard sheet goods won’t conform. What This Sample Helps You Check Bending performance: trial bends to gauge radius & spring-back (orientation dependent) Surface readiness: sanding quality and finish hold-out for clear coats or paint Adhesion tests: bond strength for laminates/veneers applied before or after forming Edge quality: routing, trimming, and fill/feather on curved seams Typical Uses (full boards / cut to size) Reception desks, bar & counter fronts Curved wall & ceiling panels, bulkheads, wave features Columns, display plinths, exhibition & retail fixtures Furniture components with continuous curves Key Features Highly bendable sheet for smooth, compound curves Lightweight & easy to machine with standard tools Clean face ready for paint, laminate, or veneer Offered in long-grain and cross-grain orientations (stock dependent) Sample & Product Specs Sample size: 90 × 90 mm (nominal) Core/layup: multiple thin plies for flexibility Faces: Sanded; supplied unfinished for evaluation Use class: Interior, dry conditions Common full-board thicknesses: often 3–8 mm (availability varies—check product page) Master sheet size: see Full Board Finishing & Forming Notes (full boards) Choose orientation to match the curve direction (long- vs cross-grain) Many fabricators bond laminate/veneer while flat, then form over a jig Support the panel during cure to minimise spring-back For paint: prime/seal faces and fill/feather seams on multi-panel curves Ordering & Tolerances We cut to your measurements with ≈0.1 mm precision. Order Flexible Plywood — Cut to Size; specify orientation for consistent curves across panels. Consider Flexible MDF if you prefer an MDF substrate.

What’s the difference between long-grain and cross-grain flexible ply? Long-grain bends across the width (grain runs lengthwise). Cross-grain bends along the length. Choose based on your curve direction. 2. How tight can I bend it? Minimum radius depends on thickness, orientation, and finish. Trial your target radius using this sample or an offcut and a forming jig. 3. Can I paint or laminate flexible plywood? Yes—prime/paint as a standard panel, or laminate/veneer either flat then form or post-form with suitable adhesives and cauls. 4. Is flexible plywood suitable for exterior use? It’s intended for dry interior applications. For humid or exterior conditions, choose an appropriate exterior-grade panel and follow coating guidance. 5. Do you cut to size? Absolutely—order Flexible Plywood — Cut to Size and we’ll supply made-to-measure parts ready to form.
