Picking the right product

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.

Structural use

Roof decks and floors need plywood marked for structural use. Check the thickness against the joist spacing.

Delivery to Canterbury: what helps

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

• In summer Canterbury gets around 16h 36m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Questions about plywood delivery in Canterbury

What thickness for a flat roof deck?

18 mm structural ply is common on joists at 400 mm centres; your design may specify more.

Do you deliver plywood to trades and homeowners in Canterbury?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

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

Can you deliver plywood to a site with restricted access in Canterbury?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
