About the product
Plywood is a panel formed by bonding thin wood veneers in layers. Film-faced plywood is one of the groups selected for concrete formwork and transport applications according to the required surface. Smooth film, Wire and Hexa textures do not imply the same use or performance. Kariwood presents each series with its own technical sources for review and comparison.

Choosing plywood
A concrete form, a vehicle floor and a furniture component ask different things of a sheet. Define the application before selecting its surface and series.
Add to requestFilm-faced plywood and uncoated panels
Film-faced plywood has a surface overlay; uncoated plywood may be selected for painting, veneering or machining. Read the phenolic-film specification alongside thickness and core construction. The general word “plywood” does not define wood species, film weight or reuse count. For an uncoated surface, also review the birch plywood page.
Source · Plywood-EN · PDF page 8Choosing plywood for concrete formwork
Formwork plywood selection considers concrete finish, panel thickness, support spacing and site conditions together. A smooth film face and a textured vehicle-floor overlay address different requirements. Formwork load calculations remain part of project design. Reuse counts or service-life figures should not be assumed without product documentation and the relevant application conditions.

For truck, trailer or transport-platform floors, review abrasion, loads and fixing details as well as texture. Wire and Hexa options must be read with the relevant series document. Sapphire, Anthracite, Flexply, Vulcan, film-faced plywood and Plyform have separate records; test results are not transferred between them. Compare two or three products under common headings.

A plywood quotation needs the series, surface, thickness, sheet size and sheet count or square metres. If you need 18 mm plywood, add the dimensions and application: thickness alone is not a full specification. Include the delivery location and approximate volume. Technical tables describe brochure scope; stock and prices are confirmed during quotation.
