25mm Marine Plywood Complies With BS1088
Description
25mm Marine Plywood
25mm marine plywood is a thick plywood sheet designed for projects where a substantial panel is required alongside the specification associated with marine plywood. This product complies with BS1088 and is available in a range of sheet sizes, including large 2440 x 1220mm sheets.
The 25mm thickness makes this plywood particularly useful where a thicker panel is required than 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm or 18mm marine plywood. Applications can include marine joinery, demanding exterior work, furniture and joinery projects, and other applications where a substantial plywood panel is specified.
What can 25mm marine plywood be used for?
Furniture & Joinery
25mm plywood can be useful for substantial furniture components, cabinets, benches, fabricated panels, worktops and joinery where a thick plywood sheet is required.
Where the project does not require a marine plywood specification, a standard hardwood plywood may be a more economical alternative.
Exterior Projects
Marine plywood can be considered for appropriate exterior applications where moisture exposure is a factor. Exposed faces, edges, joints and fixing points should be correctly detailed, sealed and finished for the intended environment.
Marine & Moisture Exposed Applications
BS1088 marine plywood is intended for applications where the plywood specification and moisture-related performance are important considerations. It can be suitable for demanding environments where a substantial 25mm plywood panel is required.
Projects Requiring a Thick Plywood Panel
25mm plywood is considerably thicker than many commonly purchased plywood sheets. It can be useful where a project requires greater panel depth, thickness or a more substantial plywood component.
25mm Marine Plywood Applications
Choosing the correct plywood involves looking at both the plywood specification and the required thickness. 25mm marine plywood is aimed at applications where a substantial panel is required and where the characteristics of BS1088 marine plywood are relevant.
Furniture & Cabinets
Suitable for substantial furniture components, cabinets, benches and fabricated panels where a thick plywood sheet is required.
Demanding Outdoor Work
Can be considered for appropriate exterior applications where moisture exposure is a factor and the plywood is correctly protected.
Marine Joinery
Useful for marine projects and joinery where a thick plywood panel and a BS1088 specification are required.

25mm Marine Plywood Sheet Sizes
The range includes larger sheets for substantial projects as well as smaller sizes where buying a complete 8 x 4ft sheet may create unnecessary waste.
Which marine plywood thickness should you choose?
6mm Marine Plywood
A thinner option for lightweight panels and applications where the project specification calls for a 6mm sheet.
9mm Marine Plywood
A useful middle thickness where 6mm is too thin but a heavier panel is not required.
12mm Marine Plywood
A commonly used marine plywood thickness for projects requiring a medium-depth panel.
15mm Marine Plywood
Provides additional panel depth compared with 12mm where the project specification requires it.
18mm Marine Plywood
A substantial marine plywood thickness for projects requiring more panel depth than 12mm or 15mm.
25mm Marine Plywood
The thickest option in this comparison, suitable where the project requires a particularly substantial plywood panel.
What does BS1088 mean?
Understanding BS1088 Marine Plywood
BS1088 is the British Standard associated with marine plywood. Where a project specification calls for BS1088 marine plywood, it is important to select a product that is supplied to that specification rather than assuming that all plywood described as waterproof, exterior or marine is identical.
This distinction is particularly important for marine work and other applications where plywood construction and adhesive performance are specified.
25mm Marine Plywood vs 25mm Hardwood Plywood
Both are 25mm plywood products, but they are not interchangeable. Our 25mm plywood range contains different plywood types, while this product is specifically aimed at customers looking for 25mm marine plywood.
When should you choose marine plywood?
Choose the marine product when your project specification requires BS1088 marine plywood or when the application's moisture-related requirements make a marine plywood specification appropriate.
When might hardwood plywood be more suitable?
For general interior joinery, furniture and other suitable applications where marine plywood is not specified, a hardwood plywood product may be more appropriate and more economical.
Handling and storing 25mm marine plywood
Store plywood flat and adequately supported, protected from unnecessary exposure to weather before installation. Larger 25mm sheets can be heavy, so suitable lifting and handling arrangements should be considered.
Where the finished panel is exposed to moisture, particular attention should be paid to cut edges, joints, fixings and exposed faces. Suitable sealing and finishing should be considered as part of the complete installation.

25mm Marine Plywood FAQs
What is 25mm marine plywood?
25mm marine plywood is a thick plywood panel intended for applications where a substantial sheet is required and the characteristics of marine plywood are appropriate. This product complies with BS1088.
Is 25mm marine plywood waterproof?
Marine plywood is designed for demanding moisture-related applications, but it should not be described as permanently waterproof without considering the complete installation. Sealing, finishing, joints, edges and exposure all affect performance.
What is 25mm marine plywood used for?
Typical applications can include marine joinery, demanding exterior work, furniture and joinery projects, and other applications requiring a thick plywood panel. The suitability of the sheet depends on the exact design and specification of the finished application.
Is 25mm marine plywood available in 8 x 4ft sheets?
Yes. 2440 x 1220mm is the commonly recognised 8 x 4ft sheet size and is available as an option on this product, subject to current stock and availability.
Is 25mm marine plywood stronger than 18mm?
Increasing plywood thickness can increase panel stiffness, but actual structural performance depends on plywood construction, support, span, loading and the design of the finished component. Thickness alone is not a structural specification.
What is the difference between marine plywood and hardwood plywood?
Marine plywood is manufactured to a marine plywood specification such as BS1088, whereas hardwood plywood is a different product with different characteristics and intended applications.
Can 25mm marine plywood be used outside?
It can be suitable for appropriate exterior applications, but the installation still needs to be designed for the environment. Exposed edges and faces should be properly protected and water should not be allowed to remain against the panel.
