What are small format panels used for?
The pre-cut softwood or plywood panels of small format dimensions serve as building materials for DIY projects, workbenches, and interior paneling applications. Supply Ontime notes that these panels provide a lightweight yet durable solution for general carpentry work because they have a pre-sanded surface that speeds up preparation time and allows for easy staining, painting, and sealing.
Can I get small format panels delivered on the same day?
Yes. Small format panels can be delivered the same day across Greater Los Angeles. Because these panels are easier to handle than full‑sized sheets, curbside delivery is often sufficient. For apartment deliveries in areas like Koreatown or Westwood, choose our white‑glove option if you need the panels brought to your door.
Are small format panels suitable for outdoor use?
The interior-grade softwood and sanded plywood materials used for small format panels work well for shelving, cabinetry, and crafts. The construction of outdoor projects needs exterior-grade plywood or pressure-treated panels for moisture protection. Always finish and seal your panels to extend their life, especially in humid or coastal parts of Los Angeles.
How do I store and maintain small format panels?
Store small panels in the same manner as full-sized plywood by placing them in dry, ventilated spaces that avoid direct sunlight while using flat, even supports to prevent warping, and keeping them elevated from the floor. The stack needs to be covered with a breathable material that protects it from dust and moisture while allowing air to pass through.
