Description
5.5mm (nominal 5mm) Hardwood Plywood Full Board – lightweight, strong and easy to finish

The 5mm Hardwood Plywood Full Board (actual thickness commonly ~5.5mm) gives you a light yet durable sheet for panelling, cabinetry backs, drawer bases, craft and interior finishes. Because it pairs a quality hardwood face with a stable core, it cuts, glues and sands cleanly, delivering a smooth, even surface that’s ready for painting, staining, laminating or veneering.

Key benefits
  • Firstly, the 5.5mm / 5mm thickness keeps weight down while staying flat and stable.
  • Next, full board size lets you cover larger areas or plan multiple smaller cuts with less waste.
  • Additionally, the smooth hardwood face accepts paints, stains and adhesives and takes fixings cleanly.
  • Moreover, consistent construction means minimal voids—ideal for CNC routing and fine detail.
  • Finally, great value makes it a smart choice for DIY and trade interiors.
Typical uses

Use this 5.5mm hardwood plywood for wall panelling and overlays, cabinet and wardrobe backs, drawer bottoms, model making and craft, door skins, display boards, templates and other interior applications. For humid rooms or exterior exposure, choose a plywood grade that suits those conditions and follow your designer’s specification.

Workability and finishing

Score and cut with fine-tooth blades for clean edges, then lightly sand before finishing. Seal faces and—most importantly—seal cut edges where moisture may be present. Fix with pins, staples or small screws into suitable framing, or bond using quality PVA/PU/contact adhesives. Always allow for expansion and follow current building guidance.

Order with confidence

Choose the 5mm Hardwood Plywood Full Board for crisp interior results on craft and fit-out projects. Add the quantity you need for fast delivery or easy collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is it really 5mm or 5.5mm?
Most sheets in this class are nominal 5mm with an actual thickness around 5.5mm. If a precise thickness matters, measure before final trimming.

2. What is the 5.5mm Hardwood Plywood Full Board used for?
Typical jobs include panelling and overlays, cabinet backs, drawer bottoms, model making, door skins and other interior applications.

3. Can I use it in bathrooms or kitchens?
This thin sheet suits dry, interior spaces. For humid zones, choose a moisture-resistant or exterior-rated grade specified for those conditions.

4. Can I paint or veneer this plywood?
Yes. The smooth hardwood face takes paint, stain, laminates and veneers well. Lightly sand and clean before finishing.

5. How do I fix it?
Use pins, staples or small screws into suitable framing, or bond with wood adhesives. Space fixings closely for flat results, and seal edges where moisture may occur.

6. Is the plywood responsibly sourced?
We prioritise certified, responsibly sourced timber.
