What is the difference between sheathing and plywood?
While sheathing and plywood are sometimes used interchangeably, they have distinct differences. Sheathing refers to the overall process of applying a protective layer to a building's structural components, while plywood is a particular material commonly used for sheathing. Plywood is made from layers of wood veneer bonded together under heat and pressure and has a strong, stable structure that makes it ideal for sheathing applications.
