What Makes Phenolic Anti-Slip Birch Plywood So Special?

Stay Safe with an Anti-Slip Surface

Our 18mm Phenolic Film Faced Birch Plywood features a textured anti-slip mesh surface that helps reduce the risk of slips and falls. This makes it ideal for flooring, vehicle platforms, ramps, and any area where safety underfoot is essential.

The phenolic resin coating creates a high-grip surface while also protecting the board from wear and moisture.

Built to Handle Heavy Use

Manufactured from strong cross-layered birch veneers and bonded with waterproof adhesives, this plywood is engineered for strength and stability. The phenolic coating adds an extra layer of durability, helping it resist:

  • Wear and abrasion

  • Impact damage

  • Moisture exposure

  • General site conditions

It’s designed for demanding environments where ordinary plywood simply won’t last.

Suitable for Indoor & Outdoor Projects

Phenolic Anti-Slip Birch Plywood performs reliably in both internal and sheltered external applications. It resists warping and weakening in damp conditions, making it a practical choice for projects exposed to changing weather.
