MDO PLYWOOD · FROM OUR OWN FACTORY
Create a consistent painted surface for signs, joinery and partitions with MDO plywood from our factory. Choose one or two overlaid faces, then plan the reverse, edges and finishing sample around the component your customer will see.
START WITH YOUR REQUIREMENT
For a sign, partition or joinery part, decide which faces the customer will see. One-sided MDO lets you specify the front and reverse separately; double-sided MDO gives you an overlay on both broad faces. We help you connect that choice with the finish, edges and completed dimensions.
Bring your part drawing and intended coating system. A representative sample with a finished edge, hole or attachment helps your workshop assess preparation, appearance and fit on the proposed construction. For concrete work, use the forming selection route to discuss the overlay and trial around the concrete finish.

| Selection route | What to decide | Explore |
|---|---|---|
| One working face | For a component with one specified MDO face. Compare 4 × 8 ft and 4 × 10 ft sheets, then select the reverse with or without backer paper around its exposure and attachment. | One-sided MDO |
| Two MDO faces | Choose an MDO overlay on both sides when each face has a job. Define the coating, visible area and orientation of face A and face B with the finished edge and thickness. | Double-sided MDO |
| Concrete-forming requirement | Start with the required concrete appearance, working face and release procedure. Discuss a forming overlay and representative trial separately from a painted-panel specification. | Formwork selection |
DEFINE THE ORDER
Scroll sideways to compare all columns.
| Requirement | Details to agree | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Overlay use | Painted surface, concrete contact or another specified application. | Different uses need an appropriate overlay specification. |
| Number of faces | One or two overlaid sides; reverse quality and finish. | A concealed reverse still needs a defined condition. |
| Dimensions | Sheet size, thickness and finished tolerances. | Match the component and edge details. |
| Coating process | Primer, topcoat, preparation and exposure. | Use a representative finish trial. |
| Core and edges | Plywood construction, bond, cut-edge treatment and holes. | The overlay does not protect newly exposed core areas. |
| One-sided formats | 1220 × 2440mm and 1220 × 3050mm standard sheets; metric nominal thicknesses 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 21 and 25mm. The 9.5mm and inch-based orders are separate manufacturing options. | Agree actual metric dimensions, manufacturing nominal and finished limits for the part. |
| Double-sided formats | 1220 × 2440mm standard sheets; metric nominal thicknesses 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 21 and 25mm. The 1220 × 3050mm size and inch-based orders are custom manufacturing options. | Keep both visible faces and the finished edge in the coating and sample plan. |
| Double-sided core | Birch or eucalyptus; listed veneer reference C grade or better. | Record the chosen construction and grading basis with the quotation. |
| One-sided reverse | With or without backer paper; define the actual reverse, supplied condition and attachment interface. | Include rear bonding, recesses or hardware in the component drawing. |
| Supplied finish | Unprimed overlay, primer or agreed completed coating on each required face. | Coordinate the panel supply stage with the finishing work your own workshop will complete. |
| Machining and finished fit | Reference face, final dimensions, holes, routed details, edge profile and coating allowance. | Check the completed detail against the frame or mating part in the sample. |
Use the proposed MDO construction with your intended preparation, primer and topcoat. Include a visible edge, routed area or through-hole so the sample represents the part your workshop will make. Record the accepted appearance and completed dimensions with the coating process; this gives production and repeat orders a useful reference.
For a painted panel, start with the required appearance and coating process. For concrete formwork, start with the concrete finish, joints and release arrangement. We discuss the selected overlay, plywood construction and sample or trial for that use, keeping painted and concrete-contact requirements distinct in the quotation.
The one-sided route includes 4 × 10 ft as well as 4 × 8 ft; the double-sided route lists 4 × 8 ft. Send finished component lengths with trim and machining needs so the quote uses actual usable dimensions. Include pack support and face protection when the order contains long or pre-finished parts.

SAMPLE THE PROPOSED PANEL
Choose the one-sided or double-sided construction and use your intended preparation, primer and topcoat on a representative sample. Include the visible edge, hole or routed detail that matters to the finished part.
For a rear attachment, assess the specified reverse with the actual mating surface or hardware. Record the selected construction, coating process and final dimensions so the accepted detail can be repeated through production.

| Assessment | Sample or trial scope | Record to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Overlay and core reference | Selected one-sided or double-sided panel with the specified reverse. | Face count, core, actual thickness and supplied overlay condition. |
| Painted finished detail | Intended coating process on a visible edge, hole or routed area. | Appearance, preparation, coating reference and completed dimensions on each face. |
| Attachment or forming trial | Rear fixing/bonding detail, or a separately specified concrete-contact trial. | Drawing and interface for attachments; overlay and release process for forming use. |

BEFORE YOU ORDER
Both MDO routes list metric nominal thicknesses of 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 21 and 25mm. One-sided MDO offers 1220 × 2440mm and 1220 × 3050mm standard sheets; double-sided MDO offers 1220 × 2440mm, with 1220 × 3050mm by custom order. The one-sided 9.5mm option and listed inch-based orders are separate manufacturing specifications, with their own nominal and finished limits.
MDO plywood has a resin-impregnated fibre overlay on a plywood veneer core. MDF is a fibreboard substrate. If you need a smooth painted component, tell us the shape, thickness and exposure so we can help compare the relevant panel options.
Tell us whether you need the overlay unprimed, primed or with an agreed completed coating. Specify the finish on each required face and the edges, then review a representative sample with the proposed preparation and coating process.
Choose around the finished component: one-sided MDO provides a specified front with a separately chosen reverse; double-sided MDO provides overlaid faces on both sides. Include the view from each direction and the rear attachment or exposure in your brief.
Tell us the concrete finish and forming process so we can discuss a suitable forming overlay, panel construction and working trial. Keep that requirement clear in the quotation alongside the contact face, release treatment and formwork design.
Use the selected construction with the intended surface preparation, primer and topcoat. Include a visible edge, hole or routed detail and record the finished dimensions and appearance. For two-sided panels, assess both faces as they will be seen in service.
Send the part drawing, final dimensions, reference face and any recesses or openings. We can discuss the machining, finish stage and protection at exposed edges, then quote full sheets or processed parts with the required quantities and packing.
