Plywood price and grades

Plywood price depends on grade and thickness - BWP (boiling waterproof) suits kitchens and bathrooms facing sustained moisture, BWR (boiling water resistant) sits a step below for semi-wet areas, and MR (moisture resistant) handles everyday humidity in dry interior furniture. Century plywood price and ply board price both vary with these grades, so comparing like-for-like thickness and grade across CenturyPly and Greenply gives the fairer comparison.

MDF price, hdmr sheet and hdhmr board

Mdf price sits below hdhmr board price, reflecting the difference in strength and moisture resistance - Action Tesa's MDF gives a smooth, uniform surface ideal for painting and fine machining, while hdhmr, also sold as hdmr sheet, adds strength and moisture resistance closer to plywood while keeping that same smooth, machinable surface.

Waterproof plywood and blockboard

Waterproof plywood - the BWP grade - is the right choice for kitchen cabinets and bathroom furniture facing regular moisture, while blockboard's solid-strip core makes it the better choice for long panels and spans like wardrobe shutters, where its light weight and resistance to sagging matter more than raw strength.

Hinges, drawer channels and hardware

Ebco, Hettich and TplusA hinges cover regular and soft-close cabinet action alongside full-size butt hinges for doors, while their drawer channels carry the load beneath - a 35kg or 45kg rated channel for most kitchen drawers, stepping up to a full-extension premium channel for heavier applications like pots and pans.

Choosing board grade by application

• Kitchen cabinets, bathroom furniture: BWP waterproof plywood.
• Semi-wet areas: BWR plywood as a cost-effective step down from BWP.
• Dry interior furniture, wardrobes, beds: MR plywood or hdhmr board.
• Painted furniture, intricate routing: MDF for its smooth, uniform surface.
• Long shelves and shutters: blockboard for its light weight and resistance to sagging.

Frequently asked questions

What drives plywood price the most?

Grade (BWP, BWR or MR) and thickness are the two biggest factors in plywood price, with BWP costing more than MR for the same thickness due to its stronger, phenol-based waterproof bonding.

Is hdhmr board the same as mdf?

No - hdhmr, also called hdmr sheet, is denser and more moisture-resistant than standard MDF while keeping a similarly smooth, machinable surface, sitting between MDF and plywood in overall strength.

What load rating drawer channel do I need?

A 35kg channel from Ebco or Hettich suits most kitchen drawers, while heavier applications like pots and pans storage benefit from a higher-rated or full-extension channel.

Should I choose soft-close hinges?

For cabinets and drawers used daily, yes - soft-close hinges from Ebco or Hettich prevent slamming, protecting both the cabinet and its contents from repeated impact over years of use.
