Which Solid John panel will you choose?

The Difference Between ROOF, CRAFT, and ROADRUNNER

Plywood comes in all kinds of types. However, not every panel is suitable for the same application. After all, a roof edge has different requirements than a trailer floor or an outdoor structure.

To offer the right solution for every application, Solid John’s product line consists of three types of guaranteed plywood: ROOF, CRAFT, and ROADRUNNER.

But what exactly are the differences? And which panel is the best fit for your project?

ROOF: specially designed for roof edges

ROOF is specially designed for roof edges and other outdoor applications where the sheet will be exposed to moisture for many years.

Bij dakranden is vooral de combinatie van vocht, temperatuurschommelingen en langdurige belasting een uitdaging. Daarom werd ROOF ontwikkeld met een duurzame multiplexkern en een hoogwaardige verlijming die bestand is tegen intensief buitengebruik.

ROOF is ideal for:

• Roof edges (for flat roofs)
• Facade Details
• Outdoor applications where a long service life is important.

Why choose ROOF?

• Designed for permanent outdoor use
• High moisture resistance
• No risk of rotting or delamination when installed correctly
• Reliable for years, come rain or shine (10-year warranty)

CRAFT: The All-Purpose Concrete Plywood Panel for DIYers

CRAFT is the versatile choice for professionals. This panel combines a sturdy construction with versatile quality. One side is fully paintable.

As a result, CRAFT is suitable for a wide range of projects where strength, a clean finish, and good moisture resistance are important.

Typical applications include:

• Doghouse
• Flower Box
• Playhouse
• Garden Structures
• Interior Construction

Why choose CRAFT?

• Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
• Strong and stable plywood core
• 10-year exchange warranty
• Easy to saw
• Breed inzetbaar

ROADRUNNER: Built for Heavy-Duty Transport

ROADRUNNER was developed for applications where wear resistance and traction are key.

This plate features a non-slip top layer that can withstand heavy-duty use. As a result, ROADRUNNER is ideal for transportation applications involving heavy loads on a daily basis.

Typical applications include:

• Trailers
• Delivery Vans
• Loading platforms
• Stage Construction

Why choose ROADRUNNER?

• Strong, non-slip top layer
• High wear resistance
• Suitable for heavy-duty use
• Long service life even with heavy use

Which panel do you need?

The right choice depends mainly on the application.

Choose ROOF when you're looking for a panel for roof edges or other outdoor applications where moisture resistance and a long service life are paramount.

Choose CRAFT when you need a versatile concrete plywood panel for a wide range of construction, interior design, or landscaping projects.

Choose ROADRUNNER when the flooring needs to withstand heavy daily use and a non-slip surface is essential.

Are you still unsure?

With plywood, it’s not just the thickness that matters, but also the panel’s construction and the application for which it was designed. By choosing the right panel, you can prevent premature wear, delamination, and unnecessary replacement.
