English Name For 'Mai Fai Cha Laa' - Similar To Plywood ?

Featured Replies

Does anyone know the English name for 'Mai fai cha laa'

I know that Plywood is 'Maai at' , but how about 'Mai fai cha laa' ?

Our mechanic used it, and I'm concerned it may have contained asbestos

It's a wood imitation

Although, it may have been the smartwood brand (i'm not sure have to check) which i hear is asbestos free

Im not sure if u mean shera board or conwood or something else?? Chipbaord covered with vinyl?

Hi, now you mention 'shera wood' I think this is what I mean. When I asked my Thai friend what the English word was for 'Mai Faai cha laaa', he said it was 'Chai laaa' wood, which I think would become 'Shera wood' if you twist the pronunciation a bit. So in this case, excuse my ignorance (I know absolutely nothing about DIY, I confess, I'm a girl!) what exactly is Shera wood? Is that an English term/word? or name for a brand of wood in Thailand? or is it a type of wood , like plywood?

In this case, would it contain asbestos? thanks
