Alterative Plywood Sheets

Shuttering Plywood

Shop high-quality Shuttering Plywood boards suitable for concrete formwork, site hoarding, temporary flooring, general construction and a wide range of practical building applications. Manufactured from multiple layers of wood veneer, our Shuttering Plywood sheets provide good strength, stability and impact resistance at a cost-effective price.

Shuttering Plywood is designed primarily for construction and temporary site use, where strength and practicality are more important than decorative appearance. Its cross-layered construction helps improve rigidity while reducing the risk of splitting, cracking or warping during handling and installation.

The boards are easy to cut, drill and fix using standard woodworking tools, making them a popular choice for builders, contractors, tradespeople and DIY users.

Available Shuttering Plywood Thicknesses and Grades

Shuttering Plywood is available in a range of thicknesses and construction grades to suit different building and site applications.

Available thicknesses, sheet sizes and grades may vary depending on current stock. Please check the selected product option before ordering.

Construction-Grade Finish

Shuttering Plywood is manufactured as a practical construction-grade board rather than a decorative sheet material.

The surfaces may contain:

  • Knots
  • Patches and repairs
  • Filler
  • Colour variations
  • Grain variations
  • Small surface imperfections

These characteristics are normal for Shuttering Plywood and do not usually affect its suitability for formwork, temporary structures, hoarding or general construction work.

It may be painted, sealed or coated where required, although additional surface preparation may be necessary to achieve a smoother finish.

Moisture Resistance

Shuttering Plywood offers a degree of resistance to occasional moisture and damp site conditions. However, it is not completely waterproof and should not be permanently exposed to water or harsh weather without suitable protection.

For extended exterior use, all faces, edges, cut-outs and fixing holes should be properly sealed with an appropriate exterior-grade coating.

Choose our Shuttering Plywood boards and sheets for a reliable combination of strength, practicality and excellent value for temporary construction and general building projects.

Please note that plywood is a natural wood product, so variations in grain, colour, patches and surface appearance may occur between sheets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is shuttering plywood used for?

 Shuttering plywood creates temporary moulds (formwork) that hold wet concrete in place while it cures. It's essential for foundations, walls, columns, beams, slabs, and any cast concrete element. Also used for scaffolding platforms and temporary site structures.

Is shuttering plywood waterproof?

Shuttering plywood is WBP (Weather and Boil Proof) graded, which means it uses waterproof adhesives that won't break down when exposed to moisture during the concrete curing process or in damp conditions. However, it is not fully waterproof like marine plywood or phenolic film-faced plywood. For extended outdoor exposure or repeated wet-dry cycles, additional protection or sealing is recommended.

Can shuttering plywood be reused?

Absolutely. Quality shuttering plywood like ours can be reused for multiple concrete pours, depending on handling and site conditions. The WBP grade and phenolic surface extend service life significantly compared to standard plywood.

What's the difference between shuttering plywood and marine plywood?

Shuttering plywood uses softwood cores optimised for concrete pressure and cost-effectiveness. Marine plywood uses hardwood veneers for maximum moisture resistance in permanent water exposure. For formwork, shuttering plywood offers better value and performance.
