Marine Plywood

Perhaps not surprisingly, marine plywood was originally designed for use on boats, and it continues to be an essential material in making and repairing boats, ships and other watercrafts.  Its durability and waterproof characteristics also make marine plywood a robust and popular choice in construction and furniture-making. 

Our marine plywood is a high-quality building material that is made from responsibly sourced timber. It is ideal for use in a variety of applications, including roofing, general construction and boat-making. The marine plywood we supply is made from layers of durable timber that are glued together with a waterproof resin. The bonds of these layers are tested with a 72 hour boil test to ensure their strength and resistance to water damage. Our marine plywood has no surface imperfections or core voids and has a uniform level of thickness on each board.

The benefit of using marine plywood is that it is easy to work with, flexible and versatile, making it a good choice for a variety of projects. In roofing, marine plywood is often used for roof decking, sheathing, flashing, soffits and fascias because it is strong, durable and waterproof. Its flexibility means it can also be used to create curved roof panels, which can be difficult to make with other materials. In general construction, marine plywood is used for a variety of purposes, such as subflooring, formwork and wall sheathing. It is a good choice for these applications because it is strong, durable and versatile. It can also be used to create temporary structures, such as scaffolding and staging.

Marine plywood has also become a popular choice for making kitchen and bathroom cabinets, because it lasts well in humid environments.

Keep an eye out for FSC® certified and PEFC certified products. Certification means that the timber used to make the plywood was sourced from forests that are managed in a sustainable way. This helps to ensure that the forests will be available for future generations to enjoy. If you are looking for a durable, versatile, and sustainable building material for your next project, then certified marine plywood is a good option to consider.
