Manufactured from durable hardwood veneers, it offers a strong, smooth, and stable surface that’s ideal for projects requiring both strength and a fine finish. Each board is built to meet EN13986 standards and is suitable for dry, interior environments where a non-structural yet dependable sheet material is required.\n\nThis plywood is available in 3.6mm, 5.5mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm, and 25mm thicknesses, making it suitable for everything from lightweight panelling and boxing-in to robust shelving and furniture construction. The B\/BB grade surface ensures one clean face for visible work, with the reverse side allowing for minor imperfections.\n\nWhile often referred to in the trade as WBP (Weather and Boil Proof) Plywood, this older term relates to the adhesive standard historically used in manufacturing. Modern classifications such as EN314-2 Class 2 glue line and EN636-2 durability rating more accurately describe the performance of the entire board, not just the bonding agent.\n\nWhen used externally, the board’s faces and edges must be sealed to prevent moisture ingress and ensure long-lasting performance. Made with a Poplar core and Eucalyptus or Beech face veneers, this plywood provides an excellent balance of strength, lightness, and workability. Additionally, it carries FSC Mix 70% certification, ensuring responsible sourcing and sustainability.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2440mm x 1220mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.6mm, 5.5mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm, and 25mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e B\/BB\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFace Veneer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eucalyptus or Beech\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore:\u003c\/strong\u003e Poplar\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlue Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN314-2 Class 2\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurability:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN636-2 (For dry interior use)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBritish Standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN13986\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStructural Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e FSC Mix 70%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWhat is hardwood plywood typically used for?\u003c\/h4\u003e Hardwood plywood is commonly used for interior joinery projects such as boxing-in, furniture making, shelving, signage, and general decorative applications.
