We offer boards for every application
Board sizes are predominantly 1.220m x 2.440m, certain boards are however available in a size of 1.830m x 2.440m.
Please contact us to ensure you use the right board, for the right application.
Remember, no matter what anyone tells you, very few boards are fully waterproof.
Even Marine Ply will decay and delaminate when exposed to the elements for a prolonged period of time. It is therefore advisable to coat all boards with a protective coating such as a varnish, when they are to be exposed to the elements. This coat merely prolongs the life of the board, and continuous upkeep and maintenance of the board and its coating is required to maximize its useful life.
Industrial Pine
We supply industrial grade pine plywood board in thicknesses 4mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 16mm, 18mm, 21mm and 32mm.
These boards have a number of uses such as mezzanine floors, shelves for storage, cupboard carcasses etc.
These boards can be used both internally and externally, but have a limited lifespan when used externally and exposed directly to the elements.
Decorative Pine
We supply a higher grade of pine plywood that is predominantly for interior use where they are going to be visible. There are two grades in these boards a BB :- both faces are good and all defects are repaired or of such a nature so as not to fall out, or BC:- where one face is as described above, and the other face is unrepaired and may have defects. These plywood boards are available in thicknesses 4mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 16mm, 18mm, 21mm and 32mm.
These boards have a number of uses such as cupboard doors, shelving, and paneling in office areas etc.
Birch
Our Birch ply is of the highest quality plywood produced in the world, sourced directly from UPM in Finland.
Birch ply is available in thicknesses 6.5mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm, 21mm, 32mm, and 50mm.
Birch ply is used both internally and externally, in areas where a board with a more aesthetic appeal is required.
Birch ply is stronger than most other timber ply.
Our Birch ply is supplied uncoated, where the board appears in its natural state, or coated where it is to be used in the base of horseboxes and trailers, where one wants minimal slip on a wet surface.
Birch ply due to its nature provides more longevity than most other ply boards.
Commercial Ply
These boards are sourced from Malaysia, and are made from hardwoods.
They are used both internally for items such as shelving, cupboards etc or externally for garage doors and other applications.
Marine Ply
Our marine ply boards are sourced directly from Malaysia.
They are produced to the BS1088 specification for Marine Ply, which governs how marine ply boards are to be manufactured.
Marine ply board is used predominantly in an exterior application, where exposure to the elements will occur.
It must however be pointed out that any plywood, including Marine Ply will eventually rot and delaminate when exposed to elements. Some board’s types take longer to do so than others.
It is always advisable to coat a plywood board with a protective coating such as a varnish, when it is to be exposed to the elements, and in order to increase its lifespan, regular maintenance is necessary
