Plywood is a type of engineered wood made from thin sheets of wood, called plies or wood veneers. The layers are glued together, each with its grain at right angles for greater strength. There are usually an odd number of plies, as the symmetry makes the board less prone to warping
Film faced Plywood is usually used for shuttering purpose. Surface film is a type of alpha cellulose paper which is impregnated with a glue/resin. Film Faced formwork plywood have improved resistance to abrasion, moisture penetration, chemicals, insecs, fungi and borers.
Marine plywood is specially treated plywood that is designed to resist rotting in a high moisture environment. Marine plywood is frequently used in the construction of docks and boats, used in ships, in high humidity areas, etc., it is very suitable for all climate conditions. It is very durable and long lasting.
Other available Plywood is Flexi Ply

Veneer refers to thin slices of wood, usually thinner than 3 mm (1/8 inch), that are typically glued onto core panels (typically, wood, particle board or medium density fiberboard) to produce flat panels such as doors, tops and panels for cabinets, parquet floors and parts of furniture. They are also used in marquetry. Plywood consists of three or more layers of veneer, each glued with its grain at right angles to adjacent layers for strength. Veneer beading is a thin layer of decorative edging placed around objects, such as jewelry boxes.

Flush doors
Many mordern doors, including most interior doors, are flush doors.
Stiles and rails - As above, but usually smaller. They form the outside edges of the door.
Core material: Material within the door used simply to fill space, provide rigidity and reduce druminess.
Hollow-core - Often consists of a lattice or honeycomb made of corrugated cardboard, or thin wooden slats. Can also be built with staggered wooden blocks.
Lock block - A solid block of wood mounted within a hollow-core flush door near the bolt to provide a solid and stable location for mounting the door's hardware.
Stave-core - Consists of wooden slats stacked upon one another in a manner similar to a plank & batten door or the wooden-block hollow-core.
Solid-core - Can consist of low-density particle board or foam used to completely fill the space within the door. Solid-core flush doors (especially foam-core ones) are commonly used as exterior doors because they provide more insulation and strength.
Skin - The front and back faces of the door are then covered with wood veneer, thin plywood, sheet metal, fiberglass, or vinyl. The wooden materials are usually layered with the grain alternating direction between layers to prevent warping. Fiberglass and metal-faced doors are sometimes given a layer of cellulose so that they may be stained to look like real wood.
