WHAT IS PLYWOOD
Plywood is a forest product used intensively in the construction sector. Its water resistance and high strength are important for this sector. It is especially used in the preparation of concrete molds. It is a very suitable material for unplastered mold systems, also called gross molds. Plywoods, which are increasingly used today, have replaced traditional wooden molds to obtain gross concrete. As you know, Plywoods are divided into two as filmed and unfilmed.
Contrary to popular belief, the difference between them is not related to durability and only affects the concrete surface. It is correct to use filmed materials on surfaces that will not be plastered and allows you to obtain glossy gross concrete. On surfaces to be plastered, unfilmed plywoods should be used. The concrete surface obtained in unfilmed materials is still gross but not glossy. Thanks to this feature, it allows plastering.
