Frequently asked questions

What does AS/NZS 2272 marine plywood guarantee?
AS/NZS 2272 Plywood — Marine sets the requirements for marine-grade plywood, including A-bond glue line that withstands prolonged moisture exposure, selected face veneers free of significant defects, and high-quality core veneers with limited overlaps and gaps. The result is a panel suited to boatbuilding, wet-area joinery, exposed exterior cabinetry and any application where standard plywood would delaminate. Birak's EziPly Marine BS1088 range meets AS/NZS 2272 across 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 25mm thicknesses.
BS1088 vs AS/NZS 2272 — what's the difference?
BS1088 is the British Standard for marine plywood, widely recognised in international boatbuilding, while AS/NZS 2272 is the Australian/New Zealand equivalent. Both standards specify A-bond glue line, face veneer quality and core veneer requirements. EziPly Marine BS1088 is supplied to the British Standard and meets the equivalent AS/NZS 2272 requirements — making it suitable for both Australian construction projects and international boatbuilding specifications.
When should I use marine plywood instead of A-bond exterior plywood?
Marine plywood (AS/NZS 2272) and A-bond exterior plywood (AS/NZS 2271) both use waterproof bond lines, but marine plywood has stricter face and core veneer quality requirements — fewer voids, better-graded veneers, more consistent panel construction. Use marine ply for boats, wet-area joinery, swim platforms and any application with prolonged wet exposure where panel integrity matters. A-bond exterior ply is appropriate for soffits, eaves and weather-exposed but non-immersed work.
What thickness suits boatbuilding vs joinery?
Boatbuilding thickness depends on hull, deck and bulkhead requirements, typically running from 6mm for small craft up to 18mm or 25mm for larger structural elements. Wet-area joinery and exposed cabinetry typically use 9mm, 12mm or 15mm panels. Birak's EziPly Marine BS1088 range covers 6mm through 25mm in standard 2440x1220 sheets, so all common boatbuilding and joinery thicknesses can be sourced on one PO with consolidated delivery.

Yes. Birak is Supply Nation Registered, so every dollar spent on EziPly Marine BS1088 and any other product in our range counts toward your Indigenous Procurement Policy 4% target.
