25mm Hardwood Plywood Sheet (EN636-2)
Description
25mm Hardwood Plywood Sheets EN636-2
Our 25mm hardwood plywood sheets are a substantial multi-layer plywood panel designed for applications where a thick, stable and durable sheet material is required. Manufactured to EN636-2 with WBP bonding, this hardwood plywood is suitable for a wide range of joinery, flooring, vehicle fit-out, storage and general construction applications where the product specification is appropriate.
Available in a wide range of sizes, from handy 305mm x 305mm sheets through to the standard 2440mm x 1220mm (8ft x 4ft) sheet, making it suitable for both smaller projects and larger installations.

What Is 25mm Hardwood Plywood?
Hardwood plywood is manufactured by bonding multiple layers of wood veneer together, with the grain direction alternating between layers. This cross-grain construction helps provide a stable panel with good resistance to movement compared with a single piece of solid timber.
At 25mm thick, this is one of the heavier-duty plywood options in our range. The additional thickness makes it useful for projects where a thicker sheet is required for rigidity, support or a substantial finished panel.
EN636-2 Hardwood Plywood
This plywood is manufactured to the EN636-2 classification. The EN636 standard relates to plywood intended for different service conditions, with EN636-2 covering plywood for use in humid conditions.
The plywood also uses WBP bonding. WBP stands for Weather and Boil Proof and refers to the adhesive bond used between the veneer layers. WBP bonding helps the panel withstand exposure to moisture better than plywood made with interior-grade adhesive, although it does not mean that the plywood is completely waterproof or suitable for permanent external exposure.
B/BB Hardwood Plywood Face
The B/BB grade provides a useful balance between appearance and practicality. The B face is suitable where a cleaner visible surface is required, while the reverse BB face allows for some natural veneer characteristics and visual variation.
The surface can be finished on site where required, including painting, staining or varnishing, subject to suitable preparation and the requirements of the chosen finish.
25mm Hardwood Plywood Sizes
One of the advantages of this range is the choice of sheet sizes. Smaller sheets can be useful for shelving, joinery, repairs and smaller projects, while larger sheets reduce the number of joints required on bigger installations.
| Size | Imperial Equivalent | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 305 x 305mm | 1ft x 1ft | Small repairs and projects |
| 610 x 610mm | 2ft x 2ft | Shelving and joinery |
| 1220 x 610mm | 4ft x 2ft | General construction and fit-out |
| 1830 x 1220mm | 6ft x 4ft | Larger panels and flooring |
| 2440 x 1220mm | 8ft x 4ft | Large installations and full-size sheet work |
25mm Hardwood Plywood Applications
The combination of 25mm thickness, multi-layer construction and moisture-resistant WBP bonding makes this plywood suitable for a range of trade and DIY applications, provided the panel is appropriate for the specific project.
- Flooring and floor construction
- Roofing applications where the specification is suitable
- Vehicle interiors and van fit-outs
- Heavy-duty shelving and storage
- Joinery and workshop projects
- Cabinet and furniture components
- General construction and shopfitting
- Fabrication and workshop projects
Hardwood Plywood for Van Flooring
25mm hardwood plywood can be considered for van flooring and vehicle fit-out where a substantial plywood panel is required. The available smaller sizes can also be useful when repairing or replacing sections of an existing floor.
Always check the required finished floor height, weight, fixing method and vehicle manufacturer's requirements before selecting a 25mm panel. In many van conversion projects, thinner plywood may provide a more suitable balance between strength, weight and available internal space.
25mm Hardwood Plywood vs Marine Plywood
Although both products can use WBP-type bonding, EN636-2 hardwood plywood should not automatically be treated as marine plywood. Marine plywood is manufactured to a different specification and is intended for applications where the requirements of BS1088 are relevant.
If you need plywood specifically for boat building, marine construction or demanding long-term moisture exposure, compare this product with our BS1088 marine plywood range before ordering.
Working With 25mm Plywood
Because 25mm plywood is substantially thicker and heavier than standard sheet materials, make sure you have suitable handling and cutting equipment for the job. Store sheets flat and supported, particularly when they are not being installed immediately.
Allow the material to acclimatise to the installation environment where appropriate. Use suitable fixings and provide adequate support based on the intended application and loading requirements.

What is EN636-2 plywood?
EN636-2 is a plywood classification for panels intended for use in humid conditions. It is different from marine plywood manufactured to BS1088, so the correct specification should always be selected for the intended application.
Is 25mm hardwood plywood waterproof?
No plywood should automatically be described as completely waterproof simply because it uses WBP bonding. This 25mm hardwood plywood is EN636-2 and uses WBP bonding for improved moisture resistance, but the suitability of the finished panel depends on the application, exposure and installation.
Is 25mm plywood suitable for flooring?
25mm hardwood plywood can be suitable for flooring applications where its specification, support requirements and loading conditions are appropriate. Always check the requirements of the particular floor construction before selecting the panel.
Is 25mm plywood suitable for a van floor?
It can be used for vehicle interiors and van fit-outs where a substantial plywood panel is required. However, 25mm plywood is heavier than thinner alternatives, so consider the finished floor height, weight and load requirements before ordering.
What is the largest sheet of 25mm hardwood plywood?
The largest standard size currently available on this product is 2440mm x 1220mm (8ft x 4ft). A range of smaller handy sizes is also available, from 305mm x 305mm upwards.
What is the difference between hardwood plywood and marine plywood?
Hardwood plywood and marine plywood are different products with different specifications. This plywood is manufactured to EN636-2, while marine plywood is generally specified to BS1088 for marine applications. Choose the specification that matches your project requirements.
