FAQs

What is the primary difference between marine plywood and standard plywood?

Marine plywood uses multiple thin hardwood layers with a WBP adhesive for superior moisture resistance and strength, whereas standard plywood often uses fewer, thicker softwood layers.

Is marine plywood waterproof?

The plywood itself is not waterproof, but the WBP adhesive prevents the veneers from separating in damp or wet environments. Sealing is required for water resistance.

What kind of projects is marine plywood suitable for?

Marine plywood is suitable for marine construction, boat building, outdoor furniture, cabinetry, and any project that requires moisture resistance and durability.

Should I treat marine plywood?

Yes, treating the plywood by sealing the faces and edges will extend its service life and enhance its resistance to decay and moisture.

What sizes are available?

Arranwood 15mm Marine Plywood is available in sizes from 12"x12" to 8'x4' (approx. 300 x 300mm to 2440 x 1220mm).

What adhesive is used?

The plywood uses Weather and Boil Proof (WBP) adhesive.

Troubleshooting

Plywood is delaminating.

Ensure proper sealing of all edges and surfaces to prevent moisture ingress. Consider using a marine-grade sealant.

Surface is rough or splintered.

Sand the surface using appropriate grit sandpaper to achieve a smooth finish.

Plywood is warping.

Store plywood flat in a dry place. Apply sealant to prevent moisture absorption and warping.
