Picking the right product

Thickness for floors

18 mm or more is common for floors on joists at 400 mm centres; follow your design.

Interior or exterior?

BS EN 636 classes plywood as class 1 (dry), class 2 (humid) or class 3 (exterior). Use class 3 for anything exposed to the weather.

Before your Bristol delivery arrives

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Bristol is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• With roughly 7h 50m of daylight in Bristol around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Quantities: a worked example

Decking 36 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 14 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Common questions from Bristol

What plywood should I use outside?

Use plywood with an exterior bond, class 3 under BS EN 636, or marine ply for very wet conditions.

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

It is made for concrete formwork, not for permanent structural decks. Use structural ply for roofs and floors.
