Care information

Maintain your Plywood sheets flat and supported.

Place plywood sheets horizontally on a levelled surface ensuring uniform weight distribution. This method reduces the possibility of warping.

Additionally, ensure sufficient support under the entire stack to prevent the bottom sheets from sagging or bending. Three timber bearers must be placed under plywood sheets.

To ensure affordability, Ply Online delivery pricing is determined dynamically at the checkout stage. Delivery rate is calculated based on receiver's location, weight, dimensions, and address type (residential or commercial).

In Ply Online cladding and plywood sheets can be cut to size by request, and the final price may vary.

MDF vs Plywood: what is the difference?


Being engineered wood products both plywood and MDF panels are typically used for commercial applications and DIY projects.

MDF is manufactured from fine wooden fibres bonded with resin. In contrast, plywood panels are made from veneer wood sheets bonded together with specific glue.

It is important to note that quality plywood panel has a visible timber grain, while MDF does not display a grain as it is made from wooden fibres.

The main difference is that MDF does not tolerate structural load, bending and twisting, and as a matter of fact is easily damaged by moisture.
