Question 1

What's the difference between laminated and regular plywood?

Accepted Answer

Laminated plywood has special water-repellent coating on both sides allowing 50-100 uses. Regular FSF plywood without coating withstands 5-10 cycles. Laminated provides perfectly smooth concrete surface, regular requires release agent coating.

Question 2

How much does plywood for formwork cost?

Accepted Answer

Price depends on type and condition. Laminated plywood rental - from 25 UAH/m² per month, regular FSF - from 15 UAH/m². New laminated purchase - from 1200 UAH/sheet, used - from 500 UAH/sheet. For exact calculation call us.

Question 3

How many times can plywood be used?

Accepted Answer

Laminated plywood withstands 50-100 cycles with proper use and storage. Regular FSF plywood - 5-10 cycles. Used plywood after 20-30 cycles can withstand another 5-10 uses depending on condition.

Question 4

What plywood size is best for formwork?

Accepted Answer

Most popular size - 1220x2440mm (standard) and 1250x2500mm (European). Choice depends on your structure dimensions. For large areas European format is more convenient, for complex shapes - can be cut to required sizes.

Question 5

Does plywood need treatment before use?

Accepted Answer

Laminated plywood is ready for use without additional treatment. Regular FSF plywood recommended to treat with release agent (used oil, special emulsions) for better concrete separation and longer service life.

Question 6

What plywood thickness is needed for formwork?

Accepted Answer

For slab and wall formwork we recommend 18mm or 21mm. Thickness 18mm suits most tasks and is lighter. Thickness 21mm is stronger, withstands higher loads, recommended for high-rise structures.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Yes, minimum rental period - 15 days. Cost calculated proportionally to rental period. For rental from 30 days discounts apply. For short-term projects we'll also consider individual terms.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Plywood should be cleaned from concrete, dried and stored in dry room on flat surface horizontally. Avoid direct sunlight and moisture. Laminated plywood cannot be stored outdoors in winter.
