Picking the right product
Interior or exterior?

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

Decking 24 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 9 sheets including 10% for cutting.
Delivering plywood in Manchester
Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Manchester is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- With roughly 7h 28m of daylight in Manchester around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
- In summer Manchester gets around 17h 02m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

How many sheets of plywood do I need?
