Marine Plywood 2440 x 1220 x 30mm BS1088 marine-ply ( Common: 4 ft. x 8 ft. LightWeight Okoume Marine Ply)
Marine plywood is a type of plywood specifically designed for use in marine applications. It is constructed using high-quality hardwood veneers that are bonded together with waterproof glue, making it resistant to moisture, rot, and insect damage. Marine plywood is commonly used in boat building, as well as in other applications where the wood will be exposed to water or high levels of humidity.
The dimensions 2440 x 1220 x 30mm, indicate the size of the marine plywood sheet. It is 2440 millimeters (approximately 8 feet) in length, 1220 millimeters (approximately 4 feet) in width, and has a thickness of 30 millimeters.
The term “BS1088” refers to a British Standard specification for marine plywood. It sets requirements for the veneer quality, bonding strength, and other characteristics to ensure the plywood’s suitability for marine environments. Marine plywood that meets the BS1088 standard is considered to be of high quality and suitable for use in marine applications.
