Our marine plywood sheets are built with a negligible core gap that reduces any likelihood of water getting trapped between the layers. This provides a strong and stable glue board for extra strength as it prevents expansion or rotting that could otherwise lower the integrity of the sheet.
Traditionally marine plywood sheets lend themselves for use in decorative projects in furniture such as an outdoor table, or in elements where moisture content may be of concern.
Marine ply has a smooth surface that’s ideal for staining and lacquering but can be equally as beautiful without any finishing applications to highlight the clean, blemish-free wood. However, as our marine plywood is specialised for moisture-intense environments it does not require finishing for protection against moisture.
All of our wood sheets can be cut, allowing for various designs and finishes. The thinner sheets of ply are easy to work with and can be cut, routed and assembled easily as they’re light and easy to manoeuvre.
We provide a range of plywood sheets in a wide variety of thicknesses - hardwood plywood is a good option for furniture building; birch plywood is the most budget-friendly; if you need a lightweight or flexible sheet, go with softwood plywood.
We construct our Marine plywood by glueing marine veneers with a negligible gap between each veneer, creating a hardwearing sheet that is also light and malleable. Comparably, this glued plywood sheet is a lighter and cheaper alternative to pure solid wood.
Marine ply has a smooth surface that’s ideal for painting, staining, and lacquering, but can be equally stunning without any finishing applications to highlight the clean, blemish-free wood. When used without finishing, our marine plywood is still fully capable of protection against moisture.
Built with a negligible core gap, our marine plywood sheets reduce the likelihood of water getting trapped between the layers. This provides a strong and stable glue board for extra strength as it prevents expansion or rotting that could otherwise lower the integrity of the sheet.
Compared to a solid piece of water-resistant wood of the same size, our marine plywood works out as an inexpensive solution yet delivers the same desired aesthetic and properties.
All of our marine plywood sheets are perfectly easy to machine and cut, allowing us to customise your sheet to fit any requirements that you require.
One of the most common uses for marine plywood is building boats of all types including yachts, sailboats, powerboats, canoes, and kayaks. Its moisture resistance makes it an ideal material for hull construction. Marine plywood can be used to fabricate the deck, cabin, and other boat components. Its strength and impact resistance are valued in boatbuilding.
Marine plywood is the preferred choice when constructing docks, piers, boardwalks, and ramps over water. The sheet piling used for docks is often made from marine plywood. It can withstand repeated wetting and drying cycles as well as contact with water without degrading. Marine plywood has the longevity needed in dock applications.
For any outdoor structures that require moisture resistance, marine plywood is the best choice. It can be used to build outdoor cabinets, wall panelling, wood decking, planter boxes, signs, and even outdoor furniture that will be exposed to the elements. Marine plywood is less prone to swelling, cracking and delaminating when used in outdoor projects.
Concrete formwork built using marine plywood can withstand prolonged contact with concrete and the moisture from fresh concrete pour. The smooth face veneers of marine plywood make for attractive concrete finishes, and it resists deterioration better than regular plywood concrete forms.
Inside campers, horse trailers, and motorhomes, marine plywood provides a durable surface that holds up to routine use in a damp environment. It is an ideal material for cabinetry, walls, and flooring in trailers designed for outdoor living. Marine plywood is lighter than most other water-resistant woods.
When deciding on the appropriate hardwood plywood thickness, consider the specific application to ensure optimal performance.
Marine plywood is not waterproof, however, it has a negligible core gap so that the likelihood of water getting trapped between the layers is minimised. This provides a strong and stable glue bond for extra strength.
Compared to standard plywood, marine plywood uses higher quality wood, more layers, has a more durable adhesive, and is designed to resist delaminating and warping when exposed to moisture over time. Regular plywood is not suitable for prolonged wet conditions.
Since marine plywood is typically used around or in water, you’ll need to treat every surface of the wood with sealant. You can find a good waterproof penetrating epoxy to be ideal as it works deep into the wood, dries transparent, and requires less maintenance than other types of sealant.
We recommend marine-grade plywood around any instance where your sheet is going to be near water.
When properly maintained, marine plywood can last over 25 years even with constant water exposure. Also, proper sealing and painting helps to extend its lifespan.
No, marine plywood is not chemically treated. It achieves its water resistance through the use of durable face and core veneers, resistant adhesives, and multiple laminated layers.
