Estimate your material subtotal
Before volume discounts
Planning estimate only, not a stock reservation, checkout total or pre-order deposit. The estimator includes listed unavailable sheets for comparison. Delivery, tax and any eligible quantity discount are separate.
Match your half-inch sheet to the assembly
Choose a ready-finished surface
UV-coated birch and maple provide a natural wood appearance. White melamine gives a white cabinet interior. The three listed finished options have two finished faces; check the reverse side and visible edges in your cutting plan.
Choose unfinished Baltic Birch deliberately
The 12 mm BB/BB option has solid birch construction and unfinished faces. BB-grade faces may contain sound patches. Use it where your design calls for Baltic Birch and you want to choose the paint, stain or clear finish.
Do not substitute by thickness alone
A half-inch panel is not automatically a replacement for an 18 mm shelf or cabinet side. Check the specified span, support, hardware and joint dimensions. Use the actual material thickness for grooves and drawer clearances.

The quarter-inch birch and white melamine sheets have one finished face. There is no 6 mm Baltic Birch in this mapped range. The 21 mm option is unfinished BB/BB only. Inch names are nominal catalog labels, not exact conversions of the metric specifications. Check product details for tolerances.

Questions about 1/2″ plywood
How much is a 1/2-inch 4×8 plywood sheet?
The cards and table show current prices for the selected half-inch variants, rather than the lowest price across all thicknesses. The prices are per full sheet before eligible volume discounts, delivery and tax.
Do you have 1/2-inch Baltic Birch?
Yes. The BB/BB Baltic Birch option is listed as 12 mm, with sanded, unfinished faces and a solid birch core. The B/BB, clear prefinished and white melamine Baltic products in this selection are offered in 3/4 inch instead.
Are the prefinished half-inch sheets finished on both sides?
Yes. The listed standard birch, white melamine and maple half-inch options have two finished faces. The unfinished BB/BB Baltic Birch does not.
Is 1/2 inch exactly 12 mm?
No. An exact 1/2 inch is 12.7 mm. The catalog uses a nominal half-inch category with a listed 12 mm specification. Confirm actual thickness and tolerances before cutting tight-fitting joints.
