About Maderas El Alto S.A.
Maderas El Alto, S.A. is a Guatemalan company constituted in 1975, dedicated to manufacturing wood veneer sheets, plywood, laminated boards, particle boards and other boards and panels. Its base is in zone 11 of the capital.
Plywood and particleboard are not automatic substitutes: the former handles bending and two-way stresses better, while the latter offers a flat, stable surface for laminating. Choose by mechanical demand and finish, not only by price per sheet.
On delivery, check actual thickness, flatness and face quality, because a warped panel complicates assembly and leaves visible joints. Store panels horizontally, on level supports and protected from moisture, so they do not take the shape of the floor.
