Buffalo Board 18mm

The problem is not finding plywood. The problem is finding a sheet that does not let you down once it is on the floor. Too smooth, too weak, edges that start to suffer the moment moisture appears. Buffalo board 18mm is made to avoid all of that. A phenolic faced panel with grip where you need it, a sealed surface, and the proper strength of an 18mm board for demanding builds.

What is 18mm buffalo board?

The 18mm Buffalo board we sell is a Buffalo brand phenolic plywood sheet, with relevant branding and a strong film coating pressed onto both sides under high pressure. One face is smooth, the other has a textured anti-slip pattern. In 18mm thickness, it gives extra strength and stability while still being practical to handle.

18mm Buffalo board is supplied in 2440 x 1220mm and 3050 x 1525mm sizes with square edges. BS EN 636, with options suitable for Class 1, 2, and 3, and complies with EN314-2/3 bonding standards. Surface finishes include mesh pattern and hexagon anti-slip textures, with sealed face options available. The board range we keep has an E1 formaldehyde rating and is a moisture resistant, non-structural phenolic plywood sheet for interior and exterior use. FSC-certified options are available where marked, and selected lines can also be supplied with a Euroclass B fire rating.

What is buffalo board 18mm used for?

Buffalo board 18mm is chosen for projects where a standard plywood sheet is simply not enough. In 18mm thickness, it is especially useful when the build needs stability under load and a board that holds up over time.

Buffalo board is also used for concrete formwork, loading areas, and event platforms. It is a solid choice for modular builds too. It works well in garden rooms, sheds, and loft spaces. Anywhere you need extra strength and better moisture resistance.
