Enter the area of formwork and get the sheet count, allowing for reuse.
You need
- Film-faced sheets, 1220 × 2440 mm37 sheets
- Area including the cutting allowance110 m²
How that was worked out
- 100 m² + 10% cutting = 110 m²
- 110 m² ÷ 2.98 m² per sheet = 37 sheets for one use
- → 37 sheets

What it is
Phenolic film-faced plywood for concrete formwork — the board that gets struck, cleaned and set again. The film face is what releases the pour and what the reuse is bought for.
Specification
Everything published for this product. Anything not listed here is not published — ask and we will confirm it for the unit you are buying.
- Marine, film-faced or commercial?
- Three different boards sold under one word, and the adhesive is what really separates them. MARINE is bonded with WBP phenolic right through and laid up without voids, for anything that gets wet or stays humid. FILM-FACED (shuttering) — this page — is a WBP-bonded board with a phenolic film on both faces, bought to strike concrete and be used again. COMMERCIAL is an MR-bonded interior board for carpentry and fit-out, and will delaminate if it gets wet. If the work is concrete, film-faced; if it gets wet, marine; if it is dry interior work, commercial.
- What makes it shuttering grade
- A phenolic film bonded to both faces of a WBP-bonded hardwood or poplar core. The core is waterproof-glued in its own right; the film is what makes the face slick, so wet concrete releases instead of binding to the wood and the sheet comes off flat enough to pour against again.
- The film
- Usually dark brown or black, and smooth to the touch. A bare sanded wood face is not a film face, whatever the board is called — check the face before it goes into a form.
- Standard size
- 1220 × 2440 mm (4 × 8 ft) sheets · 2.98 m² each · 336 sheets to 1,000 m².
- Thicknesses
- 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 25 mm. 18 mm is the standard formwork board and the one most contractors mean.
- Reuse
- A properly stripped and cleaned sheet is good for multiple pours before the film wears through. How many depends on the pour, the release agent and how the sheet is handled, so it is not a number we publish.
- Cut edges
- Every cut and drilled hole opens the core through the film. Sealing them is what decides whether a sheet gives you its second pour.
- What it is not for
- Not a furniture or decorative board. The film is made to release, which is exactly why paint, glue and laminate will not hold on it. For anything that has to be finished, use commercial plywood; for anything that stays wet, marine.
