Marine Plywood Full Board — Built for Wet Environments

Choose marine plywood full board when moisture resistance really matters. Each board uses hardwood veneers and waterproof bonding to meet BS 1088 performance for marine and wet-area use. As a result, it’s a smart choice for boat building, bathrooms, garden projects and exterior joinery. For exact parts, you can also order Marine Plywood Cut to Size.

Key features

  • Water-resistant core and glue lines for high-humidity use.
  • BS 1088 marine grade construction for long-term strength and bond durability.
  • Smooth surface that seals, paints or veneers cleanly.
  • Versatile applications: boats, bathrooms, exterior cabinets, and outdoor seating.

Sizes & thicknesses

Full boards are available in popular thicknesses including 6, 9, 12, 18 and 25 mm (stock-dependent). If you need a specific thickness, visit the thickness pages (e.g., 9 mm or 18 mm) or order Cut to Size.

When to choose alternatives

For slip-resistant vehicle or platform flooring, consider Buffalo Board (phenolic anti-slip birch). It adds a tough, water-resistant film and mesh texture for safer footing.

FAQs

What makes it “marine”?

Marine plywood is manufactured with waterproof bonding and high-quality veneers to meet BS 1088 performance expectations for wet environments.

Is it chemically treated?

No—BS 1088 does not require pressure-treatment; durability relies on veneer quality and the waterproof bond. Finish exposed edges appropriately for service life.

Can I order precision-cut panels?

Yes. Use Marine Plywood Cut to Size for CNC-accurate parts that reduce waste and speed up assembly.
