Exterior ply uses a similar WBP bond but allows for lower face grades and some core gaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs marine plywood waterproof?\u003c\/strong\u003e The glue bond is fully waterproof (WBP\/phenolic), meaning the layers won't delaminate when exposed to moisture. However, the timber itself will absorb water if left unsealed — marine ply should always be painted, sealed, or coated for prolonged outdoor or wet-area use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thickness marine plywood do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e It depends on the application — 4mm–6mm for linings and lightweight panels, 9mm–12mm for cabinetry and shelving, 17mm–19mm for flooring, benchtops, and structural-adjacent uses, and 25mm for heavy-duty joinery and benching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan marine plywood be used outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, when properly sealed. Marine ply is not structural-rated, but its void-free core and WBP bond make it one of the better hardwood ply options for sheltered outdoor applications like alfresco cabinetry and outdoor furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does BS1088 mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e BS1088 is a British Standard for marine plywood specifying requirements for veneer quality, core construction (void-free), and adhesive bond strength.
