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.
- 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.
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.
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.
