Getting the right plywood

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.

Estimating your plywood

Decking 18 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 7 sheets including 10% for cutting.

Getting plywood onto your Risca site

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around CF83 are priced to the exact address.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
