How to choose the right film faced plywood for your projects?

Film Faced Plywood, also widely known as construction formwork plywood or shuttering plywood, is a high-performance engineered wood panel specially manufactured for concrete pouring and structural formwork projects. Coated with waterproof phenolic film on one or both surfaces, our formwork plywood delivers smooth concrete finishing, excellent water resistance, and outstanding structural stability for all types of modern construction works.

Green plastic faced plywood is a new-generation reusable formwork panel, replacing traditional phenolic film faced plywood. It is composed of multi-cross laminated wood veneer core, covered with tough green plastic PP surface, widely used for concrete shuttering in construction projects. Compared with conventional film faced plywood, the plastic skin brings outstanding anti-stick, water-proof and wear-resistant properties.

Multi-Purpose Commercial Plywood is the most flexible and widely used general-grade plywood in the wood construction and furniture industry. Unlike specialized formwork plywood, commercial plywood is engineered for interior decoration, furniture manufacturing, cabinetry, packaging, and general construction applications.

3 Ply Yellow Shuttering Panel is a popular three-layer solid wood formwork panel widely used in European, African, and Middle Eastern construction markets. Different from multi-layer dense film-faced plywood, this panel adopts a simple and sturdy 3-layer crosswise wood structure, coated with bright yellow waterproof paint on both surfaces and fully sealed edges.

H20 Timber Beam is a standardized engineered wood I-beam specially designed for modern concrete formwork systems. Fully compliant with EN 13377 European construction standard, it serves as the core supporting structure for slab, wall, column, and bridge formwork. Manufactured with imported solid spruce/pine finger-jointed flanges and waterproof plywood webs, COTEC H20 timber beams eliminate the natural defects of ordinary solid wood. Featuring lightweight, ultra-high rigidity, stable structure and long service life, they have become the mainstream replacement for traditional wooden battens and crude steel supports in global construction projects.

LVL Scaffold Plank (Laminated Veneer Lumber) is a high-performance engineered wood board specially manufactured for construction scaffolding working platforms. Different from traditional solid wood planks, LVL scaffold plank is produced by parallel laminating multiple layers of high-quality pine veneers under high temperature and high pressure with industrial waterproof phenolic glue.

HPL Plywood (High Pressure Laminate Plywood) is a high-grade decorative engineered panel composed of multi-layer plywood core and high-pressure compact HPL decorative surface. Different from ordinary melamine plywood, HPL plywood is pressed under ultra-high temperature and pressure, forming an integrated super-hard surface layer with outstanding wear resistance, scratch resistance, fire resistance and water resistance.

Birch Plywood is a high-grade full-veneer engineered wood panel made of 100% natural birch veneers. Unlike poplar or mixed hardwood plywood, every layer of our birch plywood adopts uniform birch wood, featuring void-free core, ultra-high density, consistent strength, and elegant light wood grain.
