19mm plywood for construction and furniture use

What is 19mm plywood?

19mm plywood is a thick, strong sheet material. It is engineered from multiple layers of wood veneer, glued together with the grain of each layer placed at 90 degrees to the previous one. This cross-graining process enhances the panel’s strength, reduces shrinkage, and provides consistent performance across all directions.

The 19mm thickness makes this type of plywood ideal for load-bearing applications. It offers the right balance between strength and workability. In both commercial and residential use, 19mm plywood is a preferred material for floors, walls, shelves, countertops, cabinetry, and structural formwork.

At ROCPLY, we manufacture plywood with industry-leading precision and quality. Our products meet international standards and are suitable for export to construction sites and furniture factories worldwide.

Why Choose 19mm Plywood?

Excellent Strength and Stability

19mm plywood is thick enough to carry heavy loads. It maintains flatness over time, even under pressure or weight. This makes it ideal for structural use.

Smooth Surface and Easy Handling

The surfaces of ROCPLY plywood are smooth and even. This allows for easy lamination, veneering, or painting. It is also easy to cut, drill, and shape.

Resistance to Warping and Splitting

Cross-layered construction provides superior dimensional stability. plywood resists warping, twisting, and splitting even in varying climates.

Reliable Load-Bearing Performance

Used in subfloors, roofing, and heavy-duty shelving, 19mm plywood supports substantial weight without deflection.

Versatility Across Applications

From furniture panels to structural use in formwork systems, plywood serves a wide variety of industries.

Common Applications of 19mm Plywood

Furniture Manufacturing
Furniture factories often use 19mm plywood for table tops, bed bases, and cabinets due to its thickness and stability.
Structural Formwork
It is commonly used in concrete formwork, where its strength and dimensional stability are essential.
Interior Fit-outs
Plywood board with 19mm thickness is ideal for partitions, counters, and wall panels.
Flooring Systems
Subflooring projects require panels that resist bending and moisture — a perfect job for 19mm plywood.
Joinery and Carpentry
Carpenters appreciate the strength-to-weight ratio of 19mm plywood, making it a go-to material for custom-built interiors.

Technical Specifications of 19mm Plywood

At ROCPLY, plywood is produced under strict quality control. The following are common specifications we offer:

Thickness: 19mm ±0.3mm
Standard Sizes: 1220mm × 2440mm (4ft × 8ft), custom sizes available
Tolerance: Length and width ±2mm; squareness ≤2mm
Core Options: Poplar core, hardwood core, eucalyptus core, combi core
Face/Back Veneer: Birch, okoume, pine, bintangor, or melamine-coated options
Glue Type: MR, E0, E1, E2, WBP phenolic or melamine

These configurations cater to a wide range of applications, especially where strength, surface quality, and durability are important.

Types of 19mm Plywood Core Materials

1. Hardwood Core Plywood

Made from solid hardwood layers, this plywood type offers the highest strength and impact resistance. Ideal for heavy-duty furniture or structural use.

2. Poplar Core Plywood

Lighter in weight and easier to work with. It’s often used for non-structural purposes or where weight is a concern.

3. Combi Core (Poplar + Hardwood)

Blends affordability and strength. This hybrid structure balances durability and workability.

4. Eucalyptus Core Plywood

Known for high density and stiffness. Eucalyptus offers a reliable alternative to full hardwood cores.

ROCPLY offers all these variations. We help global plywood suppliers and wholesalers choose the right configuration for each market and project.

Glue Options and Formaldehyde Standards

ROCPLY plywood complies with international standards for bonding strength and formaldehyde emissions:

E0 & E1 Grades: Comply with European standards. Low formaldehyde emission levels.
CARB P2: Meets U.S. California standards. Often required for North American imports.
WBP Glue: Water Boil Proof — designed for exterior and formwork applications.
Melamine Glue: Moisture resistant, great for indoor humid environments.
MR Glue: Moisture Resistant for general indoor use.

We carefully select glue based on customer specifications and export regulations.

Resistance to Moisture and Climatic Stress

Plywood must resist swelling, warping, and delamination. ROCPLY enhances resistance through:

High-pressure pressing under uniform temperature
Edge sealing to prevent moisture ingress
Use of quality core veneers with consistent moisture content
Optional film-faced protection for formwork and industrial usage

Many clients in Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Middle East prefer ROCPLY for its performance in humid and hot climates.

How to Select the Right 19mm Plywood

Choosing the best plywood depends on its intended use:

For indoor furniture: Opt for E0 or E1 poplar core with smooth veneer
For structural formwork: Choose ROCPLY form plywood with WBP glue and edge sealed
For humid areas: Use melamine-coated or plastic-faced 19mm plywood
For cabinetry: A hardwood or combi-core with a fine face veneer works best

At ROCPLY, our team assists global clients in customizing specifications for each project.

19mm Plywood vs Other Thicknesses

Thickness	Best Use Case	Strength Level	Typical Application
9mm	Lightweight panels	Medium	Drawer backs, partitions
12mm	Medium weight	High	Flooring underlayment, wall sheathing
15mm	Stronger panels	High	Shelves, storage units
18/19mm	Heavy-duty use	Very High	Furniture, flooring, concrete formwork
25mm+	Industrial load-bearing	Maximum	Stage platforms, machinery bases

19mm stands out as the perfect midpoint. It delivers strong performance with reasonable weight and cost.
