Formwork plywood is an indispensable material in the construction industry, used to make moulds for walls, ceilings and other concrete elements. Its construction is based on the use of high quality wood, which is laminated and reinforced to achieve adequate strength and stability. This makes them a popular choice for builders.

Formwork board from a proven manufacturer

The formwork board is an important element in the construction process, providing a solid base for the concrete form. It is important that the wood it is made from is strong. This is so that it can better withstand the pressure of the setting concrete. Poplar and birch are the most suitable.

Formwork plywood is usually coated with a special phenolic film that prevents the concrete from sticking and makes it easy to remove once the formwork is complete. One of its main strengths is its exceptional resistance to all external conditions. Thanks to an additional layer of acrylic paint on the edges, which protects the wood from moisture, UV rays and other damaging factors, it is durable and resistant to the effects of time.

Another important feature is its versatility and ease of installation. Its size and weight make it easy to transport and install on site. In addition, its modular design allows it to be quickly and flexibly adapted to different shapes and sizes of concrete structures.

A formwork board from a proven manufacturer such as Arbor Szalunki ensures that your concrete forming needs are fully met. With careful manufacturing processes and attention to detail, our construction plywood is an essential part of any successful project.

Black formwork plywood

Black formwork plywood is a special type of construction plywood laminated with a 170 g/m2 layer of black phenolic film. This unique feature makes it more aesthetically pleasing and visually appealing, which is why it is popular in those projects where appearance is of particular importance such as commercial or leisure construction.

The uses of black formwork plywood can be varied. It can be used to form walls, ceilings, stairs and also as cladding for building facades. Its elegant appearance means that it is often chosen for modern and designer projects, adding a unique character and style to them. It is also worth noting that black formwork board is easy to work with and install, making it a practical and convenient material for building contractors.

Poplar formwork plywood – Arbor Szalunki

The poplar formwork plywood offered by Arbor Szalunki has many advantages. One of them is its lightness. Poplar has a lower fibre density than other types of wood, which makes it easier to transport and install. In addition, poplar's flexibility and excellent flexural strength make it easier to adapt to the different shapes and dimensions of concrete structures.

Arbor Szalunki offers two types of poplar shuttering boards. We offer:

• STANDARD plywood - made of new poplar veneers, for several translations (about six);

• ECO plywood - recycled core, new face veneers, for one load (maximum three), ideal for cutting.

The specifications of these formwork plywoods offered by Arbor Szalunki can be customised.

Ecological aspects of using formwork plywood

In an era of increasing environmental awareness in the construction industry, the choice of environmentally friendly materials is of paramount importance. Black formwork plywood and yellow formwork plywood are just such an example.

An important ecological aspect is that they are made from natural wood, a renewable and biodegradable material. In addition, formwork plywood is manufactured using modern technologies and production processes that minimise waste and the use of non-renewable energy. In addition, plywood is often subjected to recycling and recovery processes, allowing the material to be reused and reducing waste to landfill.
