Top Applications of 16mm Plywood in Furniture & Interior Design

1. Wardrobe Shutters & Sliding Doors

16mm plywood is commonly used for wardrobe shutters, providing a sturdy yet lightweight solution for both hinged and sliding designs. Its uniform core and smooth surface ensure flawless finishes when laminated or painted.
Ideal For: Bedroom wardrobes, loft shutters, and dressing units.

2. Kitchen Cabinets & Overhead Storage

In modular kitchens, 16mm plywood is ideal for upper storage cabinets and shutter panels. It’s moisture-resistant (especially in BWP or MR grades), dimensionally stable, and perfect for high-use areas that demand durability without extra thickness.
Pro Tip: Pair with high-pressure laminates or acrylic finishes for a premium kitchen look.

3. Wall Paneling & Decorative Cladding

For residential and commercial interiors, 16mm plywood works well for wall paneling, fluted backdrops, and decorative partitions. Its thickness provides enough rigidity for clean finishes while allowing easy CNC routing for patterns and grooves.

4. Drawer Fronts, Shelves & Compact Furniture

16mm plywood is widely used for smaller furniture elements like drawer fronts, shelving units, and compact office desks. It offers the necessary load-bearing capacity while keeping the furniture lightweight and easy to handle.

5. False Ceilings & Partition Walls

Lightweight yet strong, 16mm plywood is an excellent choice for creating partitions and false ceilings in offices or commercial spaces. It can be finished with veneers, laminates, or paint, delivering both function and aesthetics.

6. Retail & Office Fixtures

For modular fixtures such as retail displays, cabinets, and office tables, 16mm plywood delivers high dimensional stability and a fine surface for decorative finishing. It supports CNC cutting and modular assembly, making it ideal for fast manufacturing setups.
