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.

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

Delivery to St Austell: what helps

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. St Austell 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.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
  • With roughly 8h 01m of daylight in St Austell around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Your questions answered

Is shuttering ply suitable for building?

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

What plywood should I use outside?

Use plywood with an exterior bond, class 3 under BS EN 636, or marine ply for very wet conditions.

Can you deliver plywood to a site with restricted access in St Austell?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

How soon can plywood be delivered in St Austell?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
