DRIcore Subfloor
This an easy-to-install subfloor system designed for basements. The panels are equipped with air gap technology to protect, insulate, and cushion finished floors. They have OSB top and polyethylene bottom. It also has an R-value of 1.7 and can increase the temperature of a finished floor to 3.2°C (6˚F). DRIcore Subfloor allows concrete to breathe, which reduces the potential for mold and mildew. Each panel is 2 foot x 2 foot and weighs 7.5lbs.

Signboard is
a product that designed for exterior use, it works well inside the
home in areas that need to be smooth and hold up well to moisture. This product
resists inclement weather areas well. It is often used for exterior signs and sub-board
underneath laminates for countertops. It is recommended to apply an exterior
grade primer and paint to this product if using in an exterior application.
Primer and paint adhere nicely to the paper face. When applied with exterior
grade primer and paint, this product holds up much better than regular plywood

Well I'll give you a some background of it's background here. MDF Plywood Veneer is actually an acronym for Medium Density Fibreboard. It is a specially engineered product which is created when hardwood or softwood is broken down into fibers and then combined with wax in a resin. This then forms panels (plywood) by applying high temperature and pressure. MDF Plywood is actually denser than regular plywood, but can be used in the same applications or those that might call for greater strenght than run of the mill plywood. Read More

Luan is
made from trees of the Shorea family, they are light weight and capable of
absorbing moisture like a sponge. If you use Luan backed birch veneer plywood
you run the likelihood that the back side will absorb more moisture than the
veneered side causing the panels to buckle between adhesive points. Luan
veneered plywood does have one quality that makes it viable for some projects
and that is it’s appearance, which can mimic other high quality woods, with the
proper staining and paiting.
