Structural use

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

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 8 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 3 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Delivery to Ilford: what helps

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

• In summer Ilford gets around 16h 39m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around IG1 are priced to the exact address.
