When strength, versatility, and reliability matter, plywood is one of the most widely used sheet materials in construction and joinery. At Builders Megastore, we supply high-quality plywood sheets in a variety of thicknesses, including 9mm plywood, 12mm plywood, 18mm plywood, and 25mm plywood, making it suitable for everything from flooring and roofing to furniture and interior projects.
What is Plywood?
Plywood is an engineered wood product made by layering thin sheets (veneers) of timber and bonding them together with adhesive under heat and pressure. Each layer is placed at a right angle to the one below, giving plywood its impressive strength and resistance to warping.
This cross-grain structure makes plywood more stable than solid wood, ensuring it holds its shape and strength even under heavy loads or exposure to moisture. It’s available in different grades and thicknesses to suit a wide range of applications.
