6mm Okoume Plywood – Lightweight, Durable & Ideal for Cabinetry, Shelving & Decorative Furniture Surfaces
Looking for a 6mm okoume plywood that combines elegance with structural integrity? Our precision-engineered sheets offer furniture makers a perfect balance of lightweight versatility and marine-grade durability. Sourced from sustainable African forests and crafted with ISO-certified processes, this plywood delivers consistent 6mm thickness (±0.2mm) for error-free cabinetry, retail displays, and curved furniture components.
Why Choose Our 6mm Okoume Plywood?
Featherlight Strength
At just 4.5kg per 1220x2440mm sheet, our plywood is 20% lighter than birch alternatives while matching their load-bearing capacity. Ideal for wall-mounted shelves or modular furniture requiring easy handling without compromising on 150kg/m² weight tolerance.
Flawless Finishing Foundation
Pre-sanded AA-grade surfaces arrive ready for staining, painting, or veneering. Unlike cheaper poplar cores, our cross-banded okoume layers eliminate voids and patches that ruin high-end finishes.
Humidity-Resistant Design
With 8-10% moisture content (EN 314-2 standard), these sheets resist warping in bathrooms, kitchens, or tropical climates—backed by a 5-year delamination warranty.
