Get all the best cladding plywood from one place
Here at FA Mitchell, you’ll find Australia’s best wholesale cladding plywood supplies under one roof.
All our cladding plywood is primed for exterior walls. While these showcase the most beautiful natural wood grains, they are also manufactured to the same tough standards as exterior plywood. They have type A bond veneer adhesives and are chemically treated to survive Hazard Level H3. That makes them resistant to fungus and insect attacks.
You can choose to have the H3 treatment applied either to the core or the envelope of your plywood cladding. For envelope treatment, we apply the solution to the raw, after-cut edge to ensure the envelope’s integrity.
We also sell cladding brands with pre-cut decorative grooves and shiplap profiles, for easy joining and extra aesthetic appeal. These also have special exterior grade primer coating that helps them endure outside weather conditions longer and absorb staining and paints better.
Plywood cladding isn’t limited to exteriors. These can beautify and protect interior walls and ceilings at a considerably lower cost than timber cladding.

Our Cladding Plywood Range
Shadowclad
Shadowclad is a variant of cladding plywood aptly suited for a myriad of architectural styles. Most builders use this cladding plywood as a standalone product. But you can also combine this with other construction materials in your final design.
It is a lightweight cladding but the lightness can be deceiving as it hides the strength of these cladding panels. For applications requiring prolonged exposure to weather, Shadowclad can come in an avatar that can be easily stained and painted.
If you’re looking for the perfect choice for internal areas, you can go for the untreated, clear-coated variant of Shadowclad. You can also order the pre-primed cladding Shadowclad from us.

Endurapanel
Endurapanel is a versatile plywood used primarily to enhance any kind of living space. It is very easy to install and gives the appearance of a conventional ceiling or slat wall. You can use it for covered external ceilings such as balconies and entertaining areas, and home theatre rooms. You can also use it for restaurant ceilings and internal feature walls.
It has effective sound absorption properties which add an acoustic dimension to it. The timbered and tiled floors of homes in present times suffer from unwanted sound filtering. Using Endurapanel can help eliminate the nausea associated with unwanted sound emissions.
We offer Endurapanel cladding plywood made from only the finest Hoop Pine timber. We make sure that every product we give our clients has unquestionable quality.

Marine plywood cladding
For more extreme conditions, we recommend you use marine plywood cladding. Whether installed in exposed outdoor settings or high-humidity indoor areas, this type of cladding plywood can withstand wet conditions that would easily damage others.
We have an extensive range of marine grade plywood, compliant with the Australian Standard 2272 for all-weather plywood. These can be turned into wall cladding panels, according to your specifications.

Whether you’re cladding housing units or beautifying mezzanine levels of offices and hotels, you can count on getting the right plywood panels from us.
Our cladding plywood’s strength and durability make it an ideal choice for exterior applications. Meanwhile, it’s versatile enough to also be used in interior applications.
At FA Mitchell, we’ve been in the plywood business for over 90 years. We have seen diverse building trends peak and fade, and we know which materials prove to be the most reliable.
This is why our ideals for plywood quality remain unchanged. We always source our timber products from accredited plantations spread across Australia. Our team ensures that every plywood that we provide our clients meets the strictest Australian standards. Unlike the offerings of overseas distributors, our products pass through a zero formaldehyde emission test. They also undergo strict auditing by the Engineered Wood Products Association of Australasia (EWPAA).
