Short answer: You use 18 mm plywood for floors and worktops. The standard size is 1.22 by 2.44 m. For wet construction, you are better off choosing concrete plywood.
Plywood is a sheet of cross-bonded veneer layers: strong, dimensionally stable and suitable for construction, furniture making, formwork and walls. At Houthandel Jan Sok you buy plywood sheets in the standard size 1.22 × 2.44 m - in practice the size you will also search for online as plywood sheet 244×122.
Which plywood thicknesses do we stock?
- 9 mm plywood - light work, walls, formwork support and sheathing.
- 12 mm plywood (also searched for as multiplek 12mm) - a versatile thickness for furniture making, partition walls and lighter floors.
- 18 mm plywood - the structural thickness for floors, worktops and heavier interior work.
Other thicknesses are not stocked here as standard. Ask us whether we can order them in. For damp areas, choose concrete plywood or V313 chipboard / Spano rather than standard plywood.
Plywood, OSB or underlayment?
Plywood is smoother and finer than OSB, and more structural than thin facing panels. For a flat subfloor under laminate, underlayment 18 mm 122×244 is often the better choice. Not sure? Describe your application in your quote request - and we will tell you which sheet you should and should not use.
More context: plywood or concrete plywood? and sheet materials for building sites.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy plywood from a reliable supplier in the Netherlands?
Houthandel Jan Sok in Meppel supplies plywood in common thicknesses for floors, walls and furniture making. You can order online, collect at Celsius 10 or request a quote for custom work and delivery.
Which plywood thicknesses do you supply?
9, 12 and 18 mm at 1.22 × 2.44 m. People also search for the 12 mm as multiplek 12mm - that is the same plywood sheet.
What is the difference between 12mm and 18mm plywood?
12 mm is lighter and sufficient for furniture making and walls. 18 mm is the structural thickness for floors and heavier work. If you are building a floor on joists, use 18 mm unless we advise otherwise.
Is multiplex the same as multiplek?
Yes. Multiplek is a common spelling; in the shop and on the sheet it is called multiplex, the Dutch word for plywood.
Can plywood be used outdoors or in damp rooms?
Standard plywood is not an exterior sheet. For moisture or building sites, choose concrete plywood or moisture-resistant V313 chipboard. Indoors in dry rooms, plywood is perfectly fine.
Can I get plywood cut to size?
Yes, in our shop in Meppel. The first 5 cuts are free; extra cuts are charged. Delivered or online orders come in standard sheet sizes.
