Shutter plywood (also known as formwork plywood) is a high-strength structural panel specifically designed for use in concrete shuttering and formwork applications. Manufactured from multiple layers of hardwood veneer bonded with waterproof phenolic resin, shutter plywood offers excellent durability, strength, and resistance to moisture. The board is typically finished with a phenolic film coating that provides a smooth surface, allowing concrete to set with a clean finish while protecting the panel from water and cement damage.
This makes shutter plywood an essential material on construction sites where reliable formwork systems are required for casting concrete structures such as slabs, columns, beams, and foundations.
