Shuttering plywood is a term that is frequently heard in the construction industry. It is designed to prevent concrete from leaking through the mould and is made the same way as any other plywood or wooden panel, with thin veneers laid on top of each other and cemented together. These veneers are put so that their grains are perpendicular to each other.
It is crucial to note that to maintain the necessary strength of shuttering plywood, it must be carefully and precisely designed. AK/Apple’s film faced shuttering ply is produced in a high-pressure hot press and phenol-formaldehyde resin (BWP grade) to get the highest quality product.
Shuttering Plywood is usually made from softwood, which makes it incredibly lightweight and robust. Although it is not designed with aesthetic considerations, the face of the wood can be softly coloured to give it a pinewood impression. It can be painted or varnished as needed. Because of its high resistance to humidity, it is also suited for applications where the climate is an issue.
