Getting the right plywood

Thickness for floors

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

Structural use

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

Estimating your plywood

Decking 10 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 4 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Planning the drop in Luton

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

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

The standard sheet is 2440 × 1220 mm, also known as 8 × 4 feet.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Luton?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
