FormPly

bbi’s range of form work plywood is manufactured and supplied to the New Zealand market for most general uses in the concrete forming industry for residential or commercial projects. This includes the single use, non-structural economic EconoForm plywood, to the strong bonded F17 SupaForm and F14 PremForm stress graded formwork plywood, for that detailed engineering project requiring that higher quality finish and structural strength.

The EconoForm is a single use non-structural form work plywood that has been designed for where the strong properties of a plywood product are desired, without the structural performance or strength characteristics required when specifying non-structural form work plywood. Should structural formwork plywood be required for your project, it is recommended in considering the use of the SupaForm or PremForm plywood from our FormPly range.

Both SupaForm and PremForm structural form work plywood is made in factories that manufacture the panels in accordance with AS6669:2016, which allows the plywood to be used for formwork with tilt-up wall slabs, suspended decks, columns and precast applications. The plywood has a film face that prevents the plywood from absorbing the bleed water or moisture and will result in a smooth concrete finish.

Should the SupaForm or PremForm form work plywood be re-used, refer to bbi Wood Products “FormPly Care and Handling Information Bulletin” for general guidance on considerations to make for reuse of the product.
