FAQ

The BB/CC Hardwood plywood is great value for money with 3 colour options to choose from. Being a B grade, it can allow for imperfections in the veneer, so we recommend a stain or whitewash.

It is possible; however, if doing so we recommend using a stain to hide any imperfections such as localised roughness & putty fills as allowed in a B.

We recommend the Gaboon Marine for a dark appearance or the Austral Hoop Pine for a light appearance in decorative applications.

Common thicknesses when the face grain runs across the framing, for given batten widths:

Walls: 6mm ply for 450mm & 9mm for 600mm.

Ceilings: 9mm ply for 450mm & 12mm for 600mm.

We only recommend using a water-based coating as oil-based can react with the glueline. You can read more on our Resources page including different brands, under staining options.

However, in semi-exposed applications, it is essential that a mould preventer additive is used to ensure against mould growing on the coating. This can be purchased from Bunnings.

No, we do not sell the true container floor plywood. This is a product sold by ANC Distribution. However, if you are replacing ply in a container that won’t be having forklifts driven on top, our 28mm BB/CC Hardwood would be suitable.
