18mm Birch Plywood Price in Ahmedabad
18mm is the thickness carpenters reach for when the panel has to carry weight — wardrobe carcass, bed platforms, kitchen shelving and cabinet sides. Greenply and CenturyPly birch in stock at Lati Bazar, Ahmedabad.
18mm Birch Plywood — Price & Specification
18mm birch plywood is priced at ₹220 per sq ft in Ahmedabad, which works out to roughly ₹7,040 for a full 8 × 4 ft sheet (32 sq ft). It is the thickest birch board in regular demand and the one most furniture is actually built from.
At 18mm the board carries around 13 thin birch plies, cross-bonded, with virtually no core voids. That is what lets an 18mm birch panel hold a screw at the raw edge, span a wardrobe shelf without sagging, and machine cleanly for dowels, hinges and groove joints — things a same-thickness commercial gurjan board struggles with.
If your carpenter has quoted ‘18mm ply’ for a painted wardrobe or a designer kitchen, birch is the upgrade that shows in the finish. Standard 18mm gurjan runs ₹55–₹66 per sq ft; birch costs more, and earns it on paint-ready surface and edge quality.

18mm Birch Plywood — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of 18mm birch plywood in Ahmedabad?
18mm birch plywood is ₹220 per sq ft at Samta Plywood Centre, Lati Bazar. A full 8 × 4 ft sheet (32 sq ft) works out to about ₹7,040 and an 8 × 3 ft sheet to about ₹5,280. Prices exclude GST and vary by brand — call 8460783619 for today's rate.
How much does one sheet of 18mm birch plywood cost?
About ₹7,040 for a standard 8 × 4 ft sheet, since a sheet is 32 sq ft and the rate is ₹220 per sq ft. Bulk orders of 10 sheets or more get a better rate.
Is 18mm birch plywood strong enough for a wardrobe?
Yes. 18mm is the recommended thickness for wardrobe carcass, bed boxes and kitchen cabinets. Birch at 18mm is stronger and more dimensionally stable than 18mm commercial gurjan plywood, and it holds screws far better at the edge.
How many plies does 18mm birch plywood have?
Around 13 thin cross-bonded birch plies. More plies at the same thickness means a stiffer, flatter board with no core voids — which is why the exposed edge of 18mm birch looks clean enough to leave unlipped.
Should I use 18mm or 12mm birch plywood?
Use 18mm for anything structural — carcass sides, shelves, bed platforms, counters. Use 12mm birch for shutters, partitions and drawer sides where you want to save weight and cost.
