15mm hardwood plywood is a durable and stable material that can be used both inside and outside for a range of applications. Hardwood plywood is made from thin layers of hardwood timber which are laid at right angles and bonded together with a resin adhesive for a hard-wearing material that is resistant to bending and warping. This material is commonly used for general joinery as well as for creating chests and wardrobes, cabinets and storage areas, sheds and much more.

Hardwood plywood is popular in construction projects as it’s a cost-effective and versatile material that delivers fantastic strength to weight ratio. It’s also easy to cut and machine, so it can be fabricated and installed using standard power tools, making it ideally suited to DIY projects. This type of plywood won’t splinter or crack when used with screws or nails, plus it’s resistant to bending or warping for a long-lasting result in any application. Hardwood plywood is more stable than standard wood and is the perfect solution for applications that require a budget-friendly material without compromising on quality. other popular sizes include 12mm hardwood plywood and 18mm hardwood plywood.

Applications for 15mm Hardwood Plywood

Hardwood plywood can be used for a number of different applications and 15mm plywood is thick enough that it delivers excellent stability and strength as well. It can be used for furniture, cabinetry, chests and closets, as well as for kitchens, doors and panelling. 15mm hardwood plywood can also be used for architectural applications and construction projects. Hardwood plywood can be used for interior and exterior uses but if the wood is being used outside then it needs to be treated with an appropriate wood preserver to prevent the wood deteriorating. We also offer marine plywood, birch plywood and softwood plywood.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thickness hardwood plywood should I choose?

Thinner 4mm plywoods work well for crafts and hobby projects. Choose 6mm ply for cabinet backs, 9mm or 12mm ply for furniture and shelving, and 18mm plywood for flooring, subfloors, and heavy-duty uses.

Does hardwood plywood come pre-finished?

Our plywood comes unfinished, although we do offer a lacquering service. You can choose to apply a clear lacquer using the options at the top of the page.

How should I store hardwood plywood?

Keep sheets flat and supported on a level surface in a dry, conditioned space. Avoid excessive moisture and standing water which can warp plywood over time, and rotate stock to evenly distribute acclimation.

What's the best way to cut hardwood plywood?

Use a sharp fine-tooth blade on a table saw or circular saw and cut with the good face up to reduce tear-out. Take it slow and make multiple shallow passes when needed. Consider taping veneer seams before cutting.

Can hardwood plywood edges be joined well?

Yes, plywood edges glue together effectively with PVA wood glue and proper clamping. For the best results, remove any rough edges first and join with the direction of the wood grains aligned.

How should I finish the edges of plywood?

Plywood panel edges can be finished with solid wood edging, edge banding, trim pieces, or by simply staining/painting for a clean finished look. If using your hardwood ply outdoors, you should seal the edges to prevent moisture damage.

What are the types of plywood?

We sell a variety of types of plywood, including softwood, marine, and birch, all of which have specific characteristics and will aid specific projects. For more information on the respected types, read their descriptions at the bottom of their product pages.

How do you seal plywood edges?

Plywood should be sealed to prevent moisture from affecting the sheets and causing warping. The sealant you use will depend based on how you intend to use the plywood, but you should use something quick-drying and can withstand all temperatures, and be compatible with paint if you intend to paint your plywood.
