Shuttering Plywood Thicknesses

What Is Shuttering Plywood?

Shuttering plywood is a utility-grade plywood used widely in construction and building work. Unlike decorative or furniture-grade plywood, its primary purpose is practical performance rather than a premium visible finish. Natural timber characteristics such as knots, repairs, plugs, colour variation and differences between sheets can be present.

Depending on the specific product, shuttering plywood can be used for applications including temporary boarding, site protection, hoarding, construction work and formwork. Always check the specification of the particular board against the requirements of your project before using plywood for a structural application.

Common Uses for Shuttering Plywood

• Concrete shuttering and formwork where the plywood specification is suitable
• Temporary site boarding and protection
• Construction hoarding and temporary partitions
• General building and renovation work
• Workshop and fabrication projects
• Protective boarding during building work
• General-purpose construction projects requiring plywood

9mm, 12mm or 18mm Shuttering Plywood?

The correct thickness depends on how the plywood will be used. Thinner 9mm boards can be useful where lower weight and easier handling are important. 12mm provides a useful balance between weight and rigidity, while 18mm is often selected where a thicker, more rigid sheet is required.

Thickness alone does not determine whether plywood is suitable for a floor, roof, wall, structural element or concrete formwork. For load-bearing or engineered applications, check the relevant board specification and project requirements rather than selecting plywood solely by thickness.

Shuttering Plywood Sheet Sizes

We stock a range of plywood sheet dimensions to make buying easier for both large construction projects and smaller jobs. Full-size 2440 x 1220mm sheets, commonly known as 8 x 4ft plywood, are useful for larger areas, while handy sizes can reduce handling, cutting and waste on smaller projects.

Available sizes vary by thickness, so check the individual product page for the current options, dimensions and availability.
