Plywood Formwork
Plywood formwork is a lightweight, durable and eco-friendly system that provides high quality concrete cast surface. It is prepared by combining the specially prepared three layers on top of each other. Plywood formwork is applicable wherein a large surface needs be coated with a light and durable material. It is especially preferred in molds prepared for pouring concrete in constructions. Usually, plywood boards are made of birch, poplar, spruce, or pine but there are many types of materials used by plywood manufacturers in different parts of the world. While the type of plywood used is important, the real opportunity for making a difference for the final concrete result is the type of coating: the film that is applied on the plywood surface.

Plywood has the natural property to absorb moisture, resulting in a sponge effect. This causes movement of the panels, affects the weight and the mechanical properties of the material, ultimately influencing its life cycle. Its advantages includes-
- Provides high-quality concrete cast surface
- Favorable for weight to strength ratio
- Minimal deflection due to inherent stiffness
- High durability
- Can be reused
- The panel shear of plywood is nearly double that of solid timber due to its cross laminated structure.
- Easy to machine and fix using standard machining and fastening methods
- Easy to handle on-site
- Good chemical resistance
- Wide variety of different overlays and sizes available
- Plywood has ecological importance.
