Before your Holywood delivery arrives

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around BT18 are priced to the exact address.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Choosing plywood

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.

Quantities: a worked example

Decking 15 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 6 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Your questions answered

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

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

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.

Do you deliver plywood to trades and homeowners in Holywood?
