Posted by Thanh Uyên at 30/10/2025
1. Strong Roofs Start with Strong Panels
Roof sheathing is the backbone of any well-built structure. Whether it’s a residential home in France, a logistics warehouse in Germany, or a coastal resort in Croatia, the durability of the roof depends largely on one material the plywood underneath.
In recent years, Birch Plywood has become the preferred choice for roof sheathing across Europe due to its balance of strength, precision, and sustainability. And as sourcing trends shift from Russia and China, Vietnam has emerged as a leading supplier of FSC-certified Birch Plywood, offering both quality and reliability at competitive costs.
At TT Plywood, we specialize in manufacturing export-grade Birch Plywood designed to meet European EN standards, delivered swiftly to major EU ports such as Rotterdam, Koper, Antwerp, and Hamburg. Request CIF Quote
2. Why Birch Plywood Is Ideal for Roof Sheathing
Unlike standard construction panels, Birch Plywood offers superior stability and mechanical performance. It’s engineered from multiple cross-laminated birch veneers bonded with waterproof adhesive creating a dense, uniform sheet that resists warping and moisture.
Core Strengths of Birch Plywood for Roofing Applications:
- Exceptional screw-holding capacity: Ideal for nail guns and roof fasteners.
- Dimensional stability: Resists expansion and contraction under temperature swings.
- Water-resistant bonding: With phenolic WBP or melamine glue for humid conditions.
- Smooth, even surface: Ensures consistent contact for waterproof membranes or shingles.
Vietnamese-made Birch Plywood, particularly from TT Plywood, delivers these same benefits with the added value of FSC certification and export-grade moisture control.

2. Moisture Resistance – Properly sealed Birch panels maintain stability even in coastal or humid climates.
3. Longevity – Excellent bonding and surface quality prevent delamination over time.
4. Ease of Installation – Flat, uniform panels simplify alignment and nail holding.
5. Sustainability – FSC-certified sourcing ensures traceable, eco-responsible forestry.
6. Compatibility – Works seamlessly with modern roofing membranes and insulation systems.
