Details

One of the main reasons for using hardwood plywood over standard plywood is its durability in strength and support. Hardwood plywood is designed to withstand stressful pressures over a long duration, making it reliable for consistent use.

Plywood is constructed by taking veneers and using an adhesive to piece the layers together creating a sturdy sheet that can withstand high stress. Our hardwood plywood is made from taking hardwood veneers creating a bonded sheet with stronger properties as well as all the benefits of using solid hardwood wood. 

Hardwoods have a great surface ideal for staining or lacquering, with the aesthetics of our hardwood sheets being elevated with a great finish to highlight the blemish-free wood.

All of our plywood can be cut, allowing for various designs and finishes. The thinner sheets of birch plywood are easy to work with and can be cut, routed and assembled easily as they’re light and easy to manoeuvre.

In addition to this, our thicker hardwood plywood sheets, such as our 18mm hardwood plywood, are ideal for heavy load-bearing projects as they are able to give stability and strength through the thicker sheet. We provide all plywood sheets in a wide variety of thicknesses that can be cut to any shape or size to suit your needs. Check out our plywood shelf boards in 12mm and 18mm thicknesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thickness hardwood plywood should I choose?

Thinner 4mm plywoods work well for crafts and hobby projects. Choose 6mm ply for cabinet backs, 9mm or 12mm ply for furniture and shelving, and 18mm plywood for flooring, subfloors, and heavy-duty uses.

Does hardwood plywood come pre-finished?

Our plywood comes unfinished, although we do offer a lacquering service. You can choose to apply a clear lacquer using the options at the top of the page.

How should I store hardwood plywood?

Keep sheets flat and supported on a level surface in a dry, conditioned space. Avoid excessive moisture and standing water which can warp plywood over time, and rotate stock to evenly distribute acclimation.

What's the best way to cut hardwood plywood?

Use a sharp fine-tooth blade on a table saw or circular saw and cut with the good face up to reduce tear-out. Take it slow and make multiple shallow passes when needed. Consider taping veneer seams before cutting.

Can hardwood plywood edges be joined well?

Yes, plywood edges glue together effectively with PVA wood glue and proper clamping. For the best results, remove any rough edges first and join with the direction of the wood grains aligned.

How should I finish the edges of plywood?

Plywood panel edges can be finished with solid wood edging, edge banding, trim pieces, or by simply staining/painting for a clean finished look. If using your hardwood ply outdoors, you should seal the edges to prevent moisture damage.

What are the types of plywood?

We sell a variety of types of plywood, including softwood, marine, and birch, all of which have specific characteristics and will aid specific projects. For more information on the respected types, read their descriptions at the bottom of their product pages.

How do you seal plywood edges?

Plywood should be sealed to prevent moisture from affecting the sheets and causing warping. The sealant you use will depend based on how you intend to use the plywood, but you should use something quick-drying and can withstand all temperatures, and be compatible with paint if you intend to paint your plywood.

Delivery depends on the size of your order

I was going to buy a sheet, cut it (probably involving buying a jigsaw to cut it) but I got this instead, for way less money and hassle, and delivered in about five days! Millimetre perfect, too. Couldn’t be happier

Delivery of the cut to size items was as stated, I was concerned it would be delayed as I had a particular time line due to time constraints, the goods came perfectly within my schedule. The items were very well packed to avoid damage. I can easily recommend Cut My and would use them again without hesitation.

The marine ply board was to be used under a washing machine that had problems operating on aged uneven wooden floor. It was varnished by Cut My and four holes drilled in the corners. The product was excellent and was delivered matching my specification. I know that marine ply is expensive but I was a little concerned that it was a little too expensive for what it was. However, I can’t deny that it did the job and I was very pleased with result.
