FAQs

What is the meaning of BS1088?

BS1088 is a British Standard that defines the quality and performance requirements for marine plywood.

Can I use this plywood outdoors?

Yes, but you must seal it with a suitable exterior-grade finish to protect it from the elements.

What type of adhesive is used?

The plywood is bonded with Weather Boil Proof (WBP) adhesive for water resistance.

What kind of finish should I use?

You can use paint, varnish, or laminates suitable for marine or exterior applications.

How do I cut the plywood?

Use a circular saw or hand saw with a fine-tooth blade. Ensure you support the plywood properly to prevent splintering.

Is the wood sustainably sourced?

Yes, the wood is sustainably sourced from managed resources.

Can this plywood be submerged in water continuously?

While it is highly water-resistant, it is not designed for continuous submersion.

Troubleshooting

Plywood is splitting during cutting.

Use a sharp blade designed for plywood, and cut slowly. Consider scoring the cut line first.

Finish is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (sanded and cleaned). Use a primer specifically designed for wood.

Plywood is warping after installation.

Ensure both sides of the plywood are sealed with a finish. This prevents moisture imbalance.
