Choosing plywood

Structural use

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

Thickness for floors

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

Quantities: a worked example

Decking 12 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 5 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Planning the drop in Glasgow

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

  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • On busy streets in Glasgow, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • With roughly 6h 59m of daylight in Glasgow around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Common questions from Glasgow

How many sheets of plywood do I need?

Divide the area by 2.98 m² (the area of an 8 × 4 sheet) and add about 10 percent for cutting.

Can I add other materials to my Glasgow delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from plywood to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

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