Understanding Plywood Types

Softwood Plywood

Primarily made from pine, softwood plywood options such as the ARAUCOPLY Radiata Pine and ARAUCOPLY Tongue & Groove TG4 Chilean Radiata Pine variants offer versatility and strength for a range of applications. These products are suitable for both interior and exterior construction work, including flooring, walls, and roofs, owing to their durability and resistance to shrinking, swelling, and warping.

Birch Plywood

This category includes 18mm Birch Plywood variants that are noted for their superior quality and strength. They are made from multiple layers of birch veneer, which ensures durability, and makes them a great option for projects that require high strength-to-weight ratios, like furniture and packaging.

Hardwood Plywood

The 18mm Chinese Hardwood varieties have excellent strength, stiffness, and resistance to creep, making them ideal for uses that demand high performance and beautiful aesthetics. They can be used in the manufacturing of furniture, as well as in interior design and packaging.

Marine Grade Plywood

The 18mm Far Eastern Marine Grade Plywood is designed to handle humid and wet conditions, thanks to its high resistance to moisture. It is commonly used in the boat construction industry, but also finds application in bathroom and kitchen design.

Fire Retardant Plywood

The 18mm Fire Retardant Plywood Euro Class B provides an added safety layer, as it has been treated to reduce the spread of flames and limit smoke production. This makes it suitable for use in public buildings, schools, or any building where safety is a high priority.

Formwork Plywood

Formwork Plywood, such as the 18mm Formwork Plywood Poplar Core, is specially designed for concrete formwork. With its robustness and easy removal, it's the go-to choice for concrete shuttering jobs.

Selecting the Right Plywood

When it comes to selecting the perfect 18mm plywood for your project, you'll want to take a few key factors into account. The nature of your project, the environment it will be exposed to, and the aesthetic you're aiming for all play crucial roles in your decision-making process. For instance, if your project will be situated in a moisture-rich setting, the Marine Grade 18mm plywood is a stellar choice due to its excellent moisture resistance.

On the other hand, if your project is located within a public building where safety is a top concern, the Fire Retardant 18mm Plywood provides an extra layer of protection. The Hardwood and Birch 18mm plywood variants shine when it comes to combining strength with aesthetic appeal, making them an excellent selection for projects that demand both durability and visual charm.

Another vital aspect to consider is the size of the plywood sheets you require. While the majority of our Plywood 18mm options come in standard 8' x 4' sheets, certain varieties, such as the 18mm Chinese Hardwood Face Poplar Core External Grade Plywood B/BB CE2+, are also available in larger 10' x 5' sizes.
