15mm Plywood Sheets Maintenance:

1. Daily Cleaning

For daily cleaning of 15mm plywood sheets, we recommend wiping with a soft, clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning tools such as steel wool or scouring pads to avoid scratching the surface. You can use a mild detergent solution diluted in water at a ratio of 1:15 (detergent:water). Gently wipe the surface of the sheet with a damp cloth. Finally, wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove any detergent residue and allow to air dry. Regular cleaning removes dust, stains, and microorganisms, maintaining the appearance and hygiene of the sheet. A thorough cleaning is generally recommended once a week. For high-use areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, more frequent cleaning may be appropriate to ensure the sheet remains in excellent condition. Field testing has shown that regularly cleaned plywood surfaces retain over 92% of their gloss, ensuring a long-lasting, like-new finish.

2. Moisture-Proofing Treatment

To protect 15mm plywood sheets from moisture, appropriate moisture-proofing measures should be implemented. When storing indoors, it's best to place the sheets in a well-ventilated, dry area, avoiding direct contact with the floor or walls. Use wooden blocks to elevate the sheets, keeping them at least 120mm above the ground. The relative humidity should be maintained between 40% and 60%, and the temperature between 18°C and 28°C. During humid seasons, use a dehumidifier to reduce indoor humidity. For example, during the rainy season in southern China, using a dehumidifier to keep the indoor humidity below 45% can effectively prevent moisture absorption, swelling, and mold. Additionally, applying a layer of waterproof paint to the edges and back of the sheets can further enhance their moisture resistance. For sheets already installed in buildings or furniture, place a desiccant, such as silica gel, around them and replace it regularly to absorb moisture, protect the sheets from moisture, and ensure long-term stability.

3. Avoid impact with hard objects

When handling and storing 15mm plywood sheets, avoid impact with hard objects. When handling the sheets, handle them with care and avoid collision with other hard objects. If heavy objects need to be placed on the sheet surface, it is recommended to place soft material, such as rubber or foam pads, between the object and the sheet to distribute the pressure and reduce impact on the sheet surface. During construction, avoid direct impacts on the plywood used as formwork with tools such as hammers and wrenches. When using furniture, avoid placing sharp objects directly on the sheet surface, such as high heels or furniture with pointed soles. These measures can effectively prevent dents and cracks on the sheet surface, extending its lifespan and maintaining its structural integrity and aesthetics. In practice, carefully handled plywood has reduced surface damage by approximately 75%, effectively ensuring the long-term performance and decorative effect of the sheet.

4. Regular Inspection

Regular inspection of 15mm plywood sheets is crucial to ensuring their long-term stability. Inspection should include checking for scratches, bumps, bulges, delamination, and other surface defects. For plywood used in building structures, particular attention should be paid to checking the joints for signs of looseness or cracking. A comprehensive inspection is recommended at least once a quarter. If any problems are discovered, repair measures should be taken promptly. For example, small scratches on the surface can be repaired using wood wax oil that's a similar color to the sheet. Apply an appropriate amount of wood wax oil based on the size and depth of the scratch and rub it evenly with a clean cloth, allowing it to penetrate the scratch. After 2-3 repeated applications and wiping, the scratch should be largely concealed, restoring the sheet's aesthetic appearance. For larger damage, such as delamination or severe bulging, contact a professional repair technician for immediate evaluation and repair to prevent further damage and affect the sheet's normal use, ensuring its safety and reliability in various applications.

5. Protect from direct sunlight

Extended exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading and aging of the surface of 15mm plywood sheets. Therefore, avoid exposing the sheets to strong sunlight. When using the sheets outdoors, use an awning or shade net to shade them. Indoors, avoid placing the sheets near windows in direct sunlight. If direct sunlight is unavoidable, use curtains or blinds to control the light. In actual testing, after one summer of outdoor use, panels shaded by awnings experienced only 12% of their surface color change compared to unshaded panels, effectively maintaining their appearance. Furthermore, direct sunlight can increase the surface temperature of panels, causing rapid evaporation of moisture within them, which can lead to deformation and other problems. Therefore, while shielding panels from direct sunlight, it also indirectly protects their structural stability, extending their service life and reducing maintenance costs due to environmental factors.
