Marine Plywood
BS 1088 Marine Plywood
Teak, Meranti, or Keruing Faces
Void-free. Certified for performance.
Our BS 1088-certified marine plywood is engineered for structural strength, water resistance, and long-term dimensional stability. It is ideal for yacht interiors, wet environments, and premium joinery. All panels are constructed from a full tropical hardwood core, bonded with phenolic waterproof glue, and are 100% void-free for uncompromising reliability.
Core specs remain identical across all face options — only the surface veneer differs:
Teak: Quarter-sawn, luxury aesthetic
Meranti: Smooth reddish-brown tropical finish
Keruing: Dense, textured face for structural appeal

Why is your marine plywood superior to other options on the market?
Our marine plywood stands out for three reasons: no core voids, mono-species construction, and exceptional dimensional stability. Unlike other panels that may hide soft patches, gaps, or mixed wood layers, our plywood is built with a full Meranti core — a dense, lightweight tropical hardwood — and laminated using phenolic waterproof glue for long-term durability. This uniform structure ensures no internal weak spots, perfect balance, and minimal risk of warping or delamination. Combined with our quarter-sawn teak veneers, it delivers a flawless surface and long-lasting performance, ideal for yacht interiors and marine-grade applications where strength and aesthetics are essential.
Can I order small volumes or custom specifications?
Yes — we specialize in both standard panels and custom orders. Whether you need a few sheets or a full container, our team can adapt dimensions, veneer type, or insulation layers to fit your project.
Why is single-species marine plywood better than mixed-core plywood?
Using a single hardwood species like Meranti throughout the core ensures dimensional stability, consistent density, and even bonding across all layers. Mixed-core plywood often contains variable-density woods, leading to internal stress, warping, or bonding failures. A uniform core means better machining, longer lifespan, and greater reliability in marine environments.
