Select / Plug & Touch
Sanded (PTS) Plywood

Premium Surface Performance
for Industrial & Structural Use.

Canoe Plywood’s Select and Plug & Touch Sand (PTS) panels represent a significant step up from standard construction sheathing. Utilizing the superior wood fiber harvested from the Thompson-Okanagan region, our Select panels are engineered for projects that demand a smoother, more uniform surface without sacrificing structural integrity.

Our Select grade features specially curated face veneers. Each panel undergoes a rigorous repair process where open defects are plugged before being processed through our precision sanders. The result is a “Touch Sanded” finish that provides a solid, tight-knot appearance and a snag-free surface.

Why Choose Canoe Select/PTS?

  • Superior Surface Finish: The touch-sanded face reduces the risk of snags and splinters, making it ideal for handling sensitive goods or as a base for fine finishes.
  • High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Built from premium Douglas Fir and Canadian Softwood (CSP), these panels offer exceptional bending strength and impact resistance while remaining easy to handle.
  • Precision Engineering: Manufactured to meet and exceed CSA and US PS-1 product standards, ensuring reliability in load-bearing applications.
  • Environmental Responsibility: Our panels are produced with no added urea-formaldehyde (NAUF), supporting healthy indoor air quality and sustainable building practices.
