Maxi Panel
The all-round plywood panel in 18 pre-finished colours
For a plywood panel that effortlessly excels in every area, it’s hard to go past Maxi Panel, our most popular product. It’s made from real timber from FSC-certified forests. It comes pre-finished in our environmentally friendly and durable hard-wax oil for ease of installation and no worries about the quality of your finish. You’ve got the pick of 18 incredible colour options to complement your design. Plus, you can choose from Monterey Pine or, for maximum durability and longevity, premium Baltic Birch.
Baltic Birch is a light-coloured hardwood with a tight, intricate grain which has a minimal, Scandi-like appearance, while Monterey Pine is a softwood with a beautiful, open grain and colour variation across the sheet for visual interest on mass. Whichever species you choose, it’ll come pre-finished in our hard-wax oil which architects and designers love because it soaks into the timber, protecting it while still allowing it to breath. This is a low-VOC and non-toxic solution which celebrates the natural grain and appearance of the timber. Unlike varnishes, the hard-wax oil is hard wearing and won’t chip or peel, it also can be repaired if damage does occur. Get in touch with us or read below so we can help you to specify the perfect Maxiply solution for your project.

When specifying for joinery applications, Baltic Birch is the better option due to the strength of the board. Cupboard doors are not recommended and you can read 'why' in depth on our blogs.

Keep in mind- Maxi Panel is manufactured using your choice of Baltic Birch or Monterey Pine. Baltic Birch is a premium product, that produces a stronger, exterior grade plywood. For maximum durability and a longer life, all edges should be sealed with a clear hard-wax oil. Tins of hard-wax oil and coloured touch up oil are available for purchase. Maxi Panel is primarily for internal use. Maxiply does not recommend any plywood to be used for doors as external factors such as handling can affect the structure. For more information see our blog article on plywood doors.
