Explanation:

The thickness of a plywood board is determined by the number of plies (layers) it contains.

Each ply is a thin layer of wood veneer glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees relative to adjacent layers.

Increasing the number of plies increases the thickness of the plywood board.

  • 3 ply – 3, 4, 5, 6 mm
  • 5 ply – 5, 6, 8,9 mm
  • 7 ply – 9, 12, 15, 16 mm
  • 9 ply – 12, 15, 16, 19 mm
  • 11 ply – 19, 22, 25 mm

  • Veneers are thin sheets of superior quality of 0.4 – 6 mm thickness.
