You can live your Bridgerton fantasy with our Regency 150 variation or go more modern with the V-joint profiles. Whatever your choice, this collection ultimately provides a timeless quality to any interior. It’s also made to last thanks to its moisture-resistant properties.

Residential kitchen project featuring Melbourne plywood supplier Plyco's High Gloss White Polyester Plywood for kitchen joinery and cabinetry

White Polyester Plywood

Our White Polyester plywood is basic in all the right ways. It’s a simple, multi-use product best used for interior applications and something we’re sure will soon be a Plyco classic. 

What you need to know:

  • It’s a composite made up of our first-class plywood sheet and then your choice of two finishes: a white gloss polyester finish and a white matte. Our standalone White Gloss Plywood has been absorbed into this range.

  • The white laminated plywood sheets are 2440 X 1220mm.

  • The thicknesses available vary depending on the finish you choose, for details on that and relevant pricing, click here.

  • It’s imported and available to ship across Australia.

This white laminated plywood is one of our simpler product additions for the month, but it’s already a firm favourite for how dynamic it is. The gloss finish adds a bit of luxe but the matte is also wonderfully smooth and understated. It’s the Plyco plywood sheets you know and love with a clean, white finish that just doesn’t go out of style.

RV/Mobile Home wall cladding project featuring Melbourne plywood supplier Plyco's BC Falcata Plywood interior wall cladding

BC Falcata Plywood

BC Falcata Plywood is our latest lightweight plywood option to join the Plyco family. This is a product that plays well with others, whether you’re looking for an underlay for a decorative laminate or plywood sheets for your campervan project that won’t add too much weight.

What you need to know:

  • It’s a similar weight to our European Poplar Plywood but cheaper.

  • Because of how light it is, this plywood works excellently as a substrate for mobile home projects.

  • The Falcata Plywood is the perfect underlay for a decorative laminate. 

  • It’s available in 2440 x 1220mm plywood sheets. For more on thicknesses and pricing, click here.

The lightweight qualities of the BC Falcata Plywood are the real standout of the product. Birch plywood is often recommended for mobile home projects, but the BC Falcata Plywood is yet another great option to use as a substrate. 

When topped with a laminate, you also have a decorative panel that can be used for commercial and residential projects, furniture, and ceiling linings. Combined with our Retro Laminates or Décor Laminates, the BC Falcata Plywood is a match made in heaven.

Get Creative

All four of our new products can be used in a range of applications and adjusted to suit the needs of your project and style. Whether you order our White Polyester Plywood, wall cladding from our Designer Groove or Weather Groove ranges or a few sheets of the BC Falcata Plywood, the final look of the product is down to your creativity.

We can’t wait to see the exciting ways these products are used. All of them will be available to order online from November 2022, though delivery will depend on the size and variation of the product you choose. If you’d like to see some of these products in person, they’ll also be in our Melbourne stores.

Contact us here if you have any more questions about the products mentioned. We’re always happy to help.
