The 5mm (nominal 5.5mm) Hardwood Plywood Cut to Size service delivers lightweight yet durable sheets precision-cut to your exact measurements. Ideal for panelling, cabinet and wardrobe backs, drawer bottoms, craft and signage, this thin plywood pairs a stable core with a smooth hardwood face that finishes beautifully with paint, stain, laminate or veneer.

- Firstly, the slim 5.5mm profile is easy to carry, trim and install in tight spaces.
- Next, custom cutting saves time on site—your sheets arrive ready to fix.
- Additionally, the smooth hardwood face gives clean edges and an even decorative finish.
- Moreover, consistent construction minimises voids—ideal for CNC routing and fine detail.
- Finally, brilliant value for everyday DIY and professional interior fit-out.
Choose 5mm hardwood plywood for decorative wall overlays, cabinet and wardrobe backs, drawer bases, furniture backs, door skins, display boards, templates, models and other interior applications. For humid rooms or exterior exposure, select a moisture-resistant/exterior grade specified for those conditions.
Enter width × length for each piece and add the quantity. If you’re fitting into a frame or rebate, allow for clearances and expansion. Need help minimising off-cuts? Send your cut list and we’ll suggest an efficient panel layout.
