Plywood: choosing well

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.

Sizing your order

Decking 36 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 14 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Planning the drop in Preston

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Preston 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.
• On busy streets in Preston, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• In summer Preston gets around 17h 06m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Ordering plywood for Preston: FAQs

What thickness for a flat roof deck?

18 mm structural ply is common on joists at 400 mm centres; your design may specify more.

Do you deliver plywood to trades and homeowners in Preston?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

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

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Preston?

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.
