The material library

Sheet material exactly as the store really sells it, with size, thickness and price. Plus your own saved sheets.

What is in the library

The library holds real sheet material that we collect automatically from the public listings of home improvement stores. That way you pick a sheet you can actually buy, with an indicative price.

You open it with Library, to the right of the Sheet material heading. Pick a sheet and its size, thickness, material and price land in your list in one go. So there is nothing to copy off a price tag.

Note Prices are an estimate. Always check in-store. We refresh the data every night. Prices and sizes are indicative and may already have changed when you look; always check in-store.

Searching and filtering

At the top sits a search field: Search type, size or store…. Beside it you filter on Store, Type, Thickness and Size.

By default the list is already tuned to your project: if your parts are all 18 mm plywood, that is what you see first. To see everything anyway, click Show all sheets. If a filter yields nothing, it says No sheets found with these filters. with the button Clear filters.

With View ↗ you go to the page for that sheet at the store itself, so you can check the current price and stock.

Independent

We are retailer-neutral: no partnership, sponsorship or commission. We show stores only to help you choose; you buy wherever you like.

Which stores are in your library depends on the country you set. Country sets the stores, prices and currency. Independent of the interface language. See Languages, countries and currency.

Your own materials

If you often work with the same sheet, you do not have to look it up every time. Your own saved sheets. Save one with the bookmark icon next to a sheet.

You find them again with the My materials button in the library. Copy to my list puts one into your sheet list; Remove from library removes one again.

Letting the tool choose

If you do not know yet which sheet you will buy, tick Choose sizes automatically. On: the tool picks the most economical sheet sizes for you. Off: you choose your own sheets.

The tool derives materials and thicknesses from your parts and picks the most economical sheet sizes from the catalogue according to your goal (waste, cuts or cost). Give each part a material and thickness.

Under Stores you decide where it may look. Tick the stores where you want to buy. Nothing ticked = all stores. Once you are happy, use Copy checked sheets to my list to fix the chosen sheets in your own list.
