Plywood 12mm Category Overview

Welcome to the Plywood 12mm collection at Build4less.co.uk! This category offers a broad range of high-quality 12mm Plywood products suited for various applications.

The Basics of 12mm Plywood

Plywood 12mm is a popular thickness for both internal and external use cases, offering a good balance between strength and weight. It's ideal for a myriad of projects including wall sheathing, flooring underlay, and furniture making, among others.

Types of 12mm Plywood and Their Uses

Our selection of 12mm Plywood includes several types, distinguished by the type of wood used, the core composition, and the grading system.

Softwood Plywood like the 12mm ARAUCOPLY Radiata Pine and Elliotis Pine Merchant Grade Plywood are usually used for structural applications, as well as general construction projects. These plywoods are recognised for their strength and durability.

Hardwood Plywood, such as our Chinese Hardwood Combi Core and Malaysian Hardwood Keruing Core plywoods, offer greater density and hardness than softwoods, making them suitable for demanding applications such as cabinetry, furniture, and high-traffic flooring.

Birch Plywood (12mm Birch Plywood Throughout BB/BB and BB/CP) is another option for users seeking high-quality finish and durability. The tight grain makes it ideal for applications that require a smooth finish, such as furniture and cabinetry.

Marine Grade Plywood like the 12mm Far Eastern Marine Grade Plywood, offers superior resistance to moisture and decay, making it suitable for outdoor and marine applications.

Fire Retardant Plywood, specifically the 12mm Fire Retardant Plywood Euro Class B, offers an added layer of safety by being resistant to ignition, limiting the spread of flames and decreasing the production of smoke in the event of a fire.

Choosing the Right 12mm Plywood

When selecting the right Plywood 12 mm for your project, consider the nature of your project, the environment where the plywood will be used, and your budget. Check the grading of the plywood as well, represented by letters (e.g., B/BB or C+/C), which indicate the quality of the faces of the plywood. If you need a fine, sanded finish, for instance, for visible areas in interior applications, choose a higher grade. For construction where the finish isn't crucial, a lower grade may suffice.
