18mm Plywood
When it comes to construction and DIY projects, 18mm plywood is a go-to material for its strength and durability. It’s thick enough to withstand heavy loads yet versatile enough to be used for various applications.
Whether you’re building a new addition to your home, a bookshelf, or a craft project, 18mm plywood is the perfect choice for its durability and strength. The thickness of 18mm plywood gives it the ability to hold more weight and resist warping, making it the ideal choice for any project that requires a solid foundation.

How much is 18mm plywood?
18mm plywood varies in price depending on the size, construction, and type of material used.
Because costs fluctuate like any other building material, we recommend researching plywood pricing before purchase. It is also a good idea to consult an expert about what you intend to use the plywood for to get the best type for your budget and project.
How much weight can 18mm plywood hold?
The weight capacity of 18mm plywood, or any plywood, for that matter, is dependent on at least four things:
- The wood species
- Thickness
- Grain direction
- Layers
In addition to that, you have to take into account other specifics that include:
- Whether the plywood is fixed (nailed down) at both ends.
- Whether the strength axis is parallel to the grain (the span which carries the load)
- Whether the plywood has imperfections in construction, material, or other known weaknesses.
To find out if the plywood 18mm variant you pick can hold the weight, you intend for it to hold, talk to us to get a clearer picture of the options and what they are capable of.
What is the 18mm ply weight?
There are multiple reasons that affect the 18mm ply weight. The most common reasons are; the wood species used and number of layers within the 18mm ply sheet. The reason why wood species affect weight so much is pretty simple, there is a softwood and hardwood types of species of wood that come from the trees.
18mm Softwood ply generally has lower weight in 18mm plywood sheets, due to the actual tree layers that are less dense, whereas 18mm hardwood, generally would be on the heavier side. Number of layers also affects weight as each layer can add multiple Kilograms to the ply sheets, so if weight is important, in some instances this can affect 18mm plywood weight by a lot.
