Plywood is the workhorse of the building and joinery trade, and Archbuild Hardware stocks it in both hardwood and softwood so you can match the board to the job. Each sheet is made from thin layers of wood veneer, glued together with the grain of each layer running at right angles to the next. This cross-layered build gives plywood its strength and stability. It resists splitting, holds screws and nails well, and stays flatter than solid timber.

Our hardwood plywood has a smooth, warm reddish-brown face that suits furniture, cabinets, shelving, wardrobes, wall panelling and visible interior work. Our softwood plywood has a light, natural pine-toned face and is a practical, economical choice for structural and general construction work, such as roof and floor decking, hoarding, packing crates and formwork.

Whether you’re a contractor, carpenter, furniture maker or DIY builder, you can pick the thickness that fits your project and have it cut or delivered. [Delivery and cutting details to confirm.]
