This Hardwood External Grade Plywood B/BB is ideal for a range of varied applications throughout the construction industry. For many years, Builder Depot has worked with our plywood suppliers so that we can offer our customers hardwood plywood across our entire range. Being hardwood throughout (unlike some other plywoods available on the market) provides our plywood with consistent strength and stability, as well as greater resistance to decay. Our external grade plywood is suitable for a range of projects, both interior and exterior.

Note

WBP Plywood (Weather and Boil Proof): This has become a somewhat ubiquitous and incorrect "trade term" used to refer to some plywoods. It predates current statutory and building requirements and in fact only relates to the adhesive used to bond individual wood veneers together during the manufacturing process. For many years now the term WBP has been superseded by the EN13986 and EN636 standards, which define the required performance or service classes of the entire panel rather than only stipulating which glue should be used.
