Popular brands offering HDHMR boards include Action Tesa and Century.

Why is plywood NOT used for shutters?

A. Since plywood is thin sheets of wood, heat pressed to form 16 mm boards, so it tends to bend with time
B. Also ply come with micro surface undulations, so any finishing material on top will show the undulations, hampering final finish.
