Falcata plywood, made from the fast-growing Falcata tree (Albizia falcataria), is a lightweight, eco-friendly material, up to 35% lighter than traditional plywoods like Lauan or Meranti, offering a high strength-to-weight ratio ideal for interior furniture, cabinetry, non-structural construction, caravan interiors, and lightweight packaging.

Timber Market FZC, a UAE-based supplier, offers Falcata plywood alongside other plywood types, catering to diverse needs
