At Build4Less, we are committed to providing top-quality building materials for all your construction needs. Our 12mm Exterior Plywood, crafted from Chinese hardwood face with a robust poplar core, embodies our commitment to durability and reliability.

Originally from China, this exceptional grade B/BB plywood adheres to the CE2+ product standard, setting it apart from conventional plywood. Its meticulously smooth sanded veneer finish is not only pleasing to the eye but also makes it paintable, providing you a canvas to transform your construction project to your liking.

The 12mm thickness, in sync with its 2440mm x 1220mm dimensions, makes it suitable for a variety of applications. Whether you're looking to reinforce your walls, roofs, or floors, this plywood seamlessly integrates into your plans.

It's designed for both interior and exterior use, but like any good craftsman would tell you, treating it for exterior use ensures longevity and resilience to the elements. Although not inherently moisture-resistant, it comes with a low E1 formaldehyde level, thus promoting a safer environment for all your build projects.

While our exterior plywood 12mm does not carry an FSC environmental certification, its square edging and absence of fire rating adds to its characteristic charm. Weighing just 19.29 kg, it’s manageable and easy to work with.

Pros & Cons

 Pros
  • Lightweight yet Strong: Despite its light weight of 19.29kg, this 12mm exterior plywood boasts a poplar core that ensures superior strength and rigidity, perfect for a range of construction applications.
  • Versatility: With BS EN636 Class 2 grading, it's suitable for both interior and exterior uses. It can be used in the construction of walls, roofs, and floors, offering versatility in your projects.

  • High Quality Standards: Produced according to the CE2+ product standard, you can be assured of its quality. Additionally, it has a low formaldehyde level (E1), contributing to a healthier environment.
Cons
  • Requires Treatment for Exterior Use: While the plywood is graded for exterior use, it needs to be treated to withstand the weather conditions, which might be an additional step in your construction process.
  • Not Moisture Resistant: This exterior plywood is not inherently moisture-resistant. This might require the application of waterproofing treatments if used in damp or humid environments.
