The weight has been lifted! UltraLight Plywood is up to 40% lighter than your average Baltic Birch plywood.

Ultralight Plywood is the new standard for plywood projects.

The ultimate and practical plywood for constructing boats, RVs, buses, campers and anything that transports. Lose the weight - reduce the cost!

Benefits that work for you

It's not just the reduced weight, it's also performance. UltraLight was created with cost in mind across the board (pun intended) - from sanded veneers to consistent core density for fastener retention, our goal was to create a composite that reduces labor, saves on machine wear, and performs exceptionally.
Grade AA Veneers

Speed up your prep time, eliminate sanding flaws - ready to paint or laminate.

UltraHEX
The Riga Heksa alternative for 80% of your needs

UltraHEX

Shop Now

With UltraHEX, the average weight savings is around 40% compared to Riga Heksa baltic birch core plywood. In fact, a sheet of 3/4" weighs less than the average 1/2" baltic birch core hex ply, making it a great alternative whenever weight is a concern. Riga is great for wide unsupported spans that need strength. But seriously, how often is that? Mix the two and substitute UltraHEX for most of the project. Big spans - use Riga Heksa, everything else - lighten up with UltraHEX.

If you have been using hex ply with a baltic birch core then you know how useful this phenolic film surface is for durability and scuff resistance for floors, case boxes, workbench tops, and any number of applications where you need a tough and and good looking surface that gets a lot of use. But plenty of those projects don't need the extra weight. Introducting UltraHEX. Lighter, but with a higher strength to weight ratio.
