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.
