Always low prices and perfect quality
To most people, a sheet of plywood is just a sheet of wood. But for builders, joiners, and serious DIYers, every project demands the right type of ply. Choosing correctly can be the difference between a smooth, professional finish and a costly rework.
The key is understanding what each grade and treatment means for your project. At Plyman, we stock a wide range of plywood options for every application — each engineered for strength, performance, and consistency.
For Structure and Strength
If your project involves flooring, bracing, or roofing, structural plywood is your best choice. These panels are built for load-bearing applications and treated to resist both moisture and pests. Look for H3.2-treated sheets, which can handle New Zealand’s unpredictable weather without warping or swelling. Builders rely on them for subfloors, framing, and exterior cladding where long-term stability matters most.
For Moisture and Outdoor Exposure
When the project involves marine, transport, or exterior environments, BS1088 Marine-grade plywood is the benchmark. It’s made from selected hardwood veneers bonded with moisture-resistant glue, ensuring no voids or weak points. The result is a panel that resists delamination even under extreme humidity or water contact. From boatbuilding to bathroom cabinetry, marine-grade ply provides the peace of mind that your work will endure.
For Appearance and Finish
If your priority is a high-quality surface, BB/BB decorative plywood is ideal. Its consistent grain and clean surface make it perfect for cabinetry, shop fittings, and interior furniture. Designers also favour it for shelving, partitions, and exposed plywood edges because it delivers both strength and visual appeal.
For Creative or Commercial Builds
If you’re building something that combines design and durability, specialty plywoods such as Meranti offer both. These sheets are decorative, rich in colour, and tough enough for shopfitting, partitions, or vehicle interiors. They’re engineered for precision, consistency, and smooth cutting on CNC machines.
The right sheet of plywood saves time, protects your reputation, and ensures results that last. When you buy from Plyman, you’re not guessing which grade will do the job — you’re choosing confidence, quality, and consistency that professionals depend on.
