What Exactly is Marine Plywood?
Marine plywood is a high-performance, moisture-resistant plywood designed for use in wet and humid environments. Unlike regular plywood, marine plywood is made from high-quality hardwood veneers, layered with waterproof adhesives and treated to resist rot, fungal attacks, and pests. Whether you're building a boat deck, a dock, or a stylish outdoor kitchen, this is the material you can count on.
Why Choose Marine Plywood from RCIP?
Here’s why it’s the top choice for builders, carpenters, and homeowners across the island:
1. Unmatched Water Resistance
Built to beat the elements, marine plywood can handle prolonged exposure to water without swelling, delaminating, or breaking down. It’s perfect for our Caribbean climate—think beachfront structures, boat repairs, and bathroom cabinets.
2. Strength That Lasts
Its multiple layers of premium hardwood and top-grade adhesives make marine plywood incredibly tough. It resists warping, cracking, and splitting even under pressure—ideal for projects like decks, fences, or outdoor furniture.
3. Dimensional Stability
Humidity and temperature swings are no match for this material. Marine plywood retains its shape better than most woods, ensuring smooth finishes and lasting builds.
4. Resistant to Rot, Mould & Termites
Thanks to specialized treatments, marine plywood resists decay from moisture and insects—especially useful in tropical regions like Saint Lucia.
5. Versatile and Easy to Work With
Cut it, shape it, paint it—marine plywood is incredibly versatile. Use it in bathrooms, signage, fences, patios, garden features, or wherever moisture is a concern.
6. Long-Term Value
Though slightly more expensive than regular plywood, marine plywood pays off with fewer repairs and longer lifespan—saving you time and money in the long run.
