Choose 12mm hardwood plywood for cabinet carcasses and backs, shelving, van and vehicle linings, room dividers and wall panels, drawer boxes, furniture components, boxing-in, and other interior applications. For humid rooms or exterior exposure, select a moisture-resistant or 12mm plywood exterior grade specified for those conditions.

12mm hardwood plywood is a good mid-weight option when you need more rigidity than thinner 3.6mm, 5.5mm or 9mm sheets, but do not need the extra weight of 18mm, 22mm or 25mm plywood. It is commonly used for shelving, cabinet backs, drawer boxes, van linings, wall panels and boxing-in.
For lighter lining work, 9mm hardwood plywood may be enough. For heavier shelving, furniture frames or stronger support, 18mm hardwood plywood may be more suitable.
Mark and cut with fine-tooth blades for clean edges; sand lightly before finishing. Bond with quality wood adhesives or fix with screws/pins into sound framing. Always seal cut edges where moisture may be present and follow current building guidance for fixing spacings and ventilation.
