Non-Structural Plywood

Non-structural plywood is a panel not certified for load-bearing use under Australian Standards. It is designed for interior applications such as furniture, cabinetry and joinery, where surface finish and stability are more important than structural performance.

Non-structural plywood provides good stiffness for interior use but is not structurally rated. For example, 18 mm non-structural plywood is commonly used for cabinet carcasses and shelving, but it must not be used where certified load-bearing performance is required.

Non-structural plywood is not typically preservative treated. Most products are manufactured for interior use and may have moisture-resistant glue bonds, but they are not treated for termite or outdoor exposure unless specifically stated.
