Tever Orman A.Ş. represents Turkish partner mills producing heavy-duty birch film-faced formwork plywood (9 mm to 30 mm) overlaid with 120 g/m² or 220 g/m² phenolic resin film in smooth F/F and anti-slip wiremesh F/W surfaces.
Birch film-faced plywood is the backbone of modern civil engineering, high-rise slab and wall formwork, bridge construction, and commercial vehicle flooring. Produced by our Turkish partner mills using 100% cross-banded birch veneers and exterior WBP phenolic glue (EN 314-2 Class 3), our panels resist boiling water, concrete alkalinity, and high hydrostatic pouring pressures without swelling or delamination.
Both surfaces are hot-pressed with dark brown or black phenolic resin-impregnated paper in 120 g/m² (standard multi-pour shuttering) or heavy-duty 220 g/m² (extended cycle architectural concrete and heavy abrasion). All four panel edges are factory-sealed with water-resistant acrylic paint to minimize moisture absorption on site. Standard thicknesses span 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, and 30 mm in 1250×2500 mm and 1220×2440 mm formats.

On high-cycle civil engineering and residential tower projects, formwork failure generally begins at the panel edges where wet concrete slurry and alkaline moisture penetrate unsealed veneers. Our Turkish partner mills seal all four edges of every film-faced birch plywood sheet with water-resistant acrylic paint immediately after trimming. Combined with EN 314-2 Class 3 WBP phenolic bonding and 120 g/m² or 220 g/m² phenolic resin film overlays, this minimizes edge swelling and prevents delamination during repeated pouring, stripping, and high-pressure washing cycles.
Whether you require 18 mm and 21 mm smooth F/F shuttering boards for slab and column formwork or 15 mm to 30 mm hexa/wire-mesh F/W anti-slip panels for trailer beds and scaffolding platforms, Tever Orman A.Ş. coordinates direct factory dispatches in ~30 m³ road trucks and ~36 m³ 40' HC containers within a 3 to 4 week production schedule.

Designed for slab tables, steel-frame modular wall systems, columns, and civil infrastructure. produces a smooth fair-faced concrete surface that eliminates plastering costs. Choose 120 g/m² for standard 15–20 pour projects or 220 g/m² for high-repetition tower and bridge projects (up to 30+ pours).
Embossed with a positive wiremesh anti-slip pattern on the wearing face and smooth phenolic film on the underside. Heavily used in 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, and 30 mm for semi-trailer and van floors, marine pontoons, pedestrian walkways, scaffolding decks, and cold-storage racking floors.
Specify 120 g/m² dark brown phenolic overlay for standard multi-pour building projects, or 220 g/m² heavy-duty overlay for high-cycle civil engineering and abrasive concrete mixes. All four edges are sealed at our Turkish partner mills with waterproof acrylic paint.
120 g/m² phenolic film is the industry-standard overlay for general residential and commercial concrete shuttering (typically 15–20+ reuses). 220 g/m² phenolic film provides nearly double the resin overlay thickness, offering higher abrasion resistance against vibrating pokers and rebar friction for 25–30+ pours.
All of our birch film-faced formwork panels use exterior WBP phenolic glue meeting EN 314-2 Class 3 bonding standards, passing 72-hour boiling tests without glue-line failure. When cut on site, exposed edges should be re-sealed with acrylic paint to maintain maximum service life.
In 1250×2500 mm format, 1 m³ contains 17.78 sheets of 18 mm or 15.24 sheets of 21 mm. An overland truck (~30 m³ / 23 t) loads approx. 510–530 sheets of 18 mm (or ~450 sheets of 21 mm), while a 40' HC container (~36 m³) loads approx. 630–640 sheets of 18 mm (or ~540–550 sheets of 21 mm).
Yes. Construction importers can combine Birch Film-Faced Formwork Plywood (18mm/21mm) and H20 wooden formwork beams in the same shipment or order directly through our export desk.
