Which board for which job

OSB, underlayment, plywood, concrete plywood or chipboard: the right board for each job, with thicknesses, sheet sizes and prices from Meppel.

Short answer: for a summerhouse floor, use 18 mm underlayment of 1.22 × 2.44 m for €39.95, or 18 mm plywood for €69.70. We only have 18 mm OSB as a half sheet of 0.61 × 2.44 m (€18.80). Concrete plywood is for formwork and damp spots: 12 mm costs €56.05. We do not stock MDF, HPL or birch plywood.

Which board suits your job?

  • Summerhouse or loft floor: 18 mm underlayment or 18 mm plywood. Underlayment is the most affordable full sheet. Plywood is made of cross-bonded veneer layers and is therefore stiff in both directions.
  • Back panel, partition or workshop wall: 9 mm OSB (1.22 × 2.44 m, €20.50), the most affordable full sheet. Keep OSB dry: it is not a facade board.
  • Formwork or damp spot: concrete plywood in 12 or 18 mm, 1.25 × 2.50 m. The film coating releases from concrete and keeps moisture out at the surface. Seal the edges after cutting.
  • Cabinets and shelves indoors: 18 mm chipboard (Spano), half sheet of 0.61 × 2.44 m for €18.70. Indoor use only.
  • Board you want to paint: white primed board in 10, 12 or 18 mm, 1.22 × 2.50 m, from €80.40.

Frequently asked questions

Is triplex the same as plywood?

Triplex is plywood made of three layers of veneer; in the trade the names are often used interchangeably. We sell plywood in 9, 12 and 18 mm. We do not have a separate triplex range or flexible plywood.

Can OSB stand up to rain?

OSB is not a facade board. With prolonged moisture it swells, especially at the edges. Use it under a cover or roofing. More explanation: is OSB water-resistant?

Which board do I use for a summerhouse floor?

18 mm underlayment (€39.95) or 18 mm plywood (€69.70), both 1.22 × 2.44 m. We only have 18 mm OSB as a half sheet of 0.61 × 2.44 m. For the same area you need two of them (€37.60). That also gives an extra joint.

Do you sell MDF?

No. We do not stock MDF or HDF. White primed board is not MDF.

What is the difference between plywood and concrete plywood?

Concrete plywood is plywood with a smooth film coating, intended for formwork and damp spots. We stock concrete plywood in 12 and 18 mm (1.25 × 2.50 m), not in 15 mm. More explanation: plywood or concrete plywood.
