Your quotation brings the selected core, working film, WBP adhesive and finished dimensions together. Send the component size and formwork detail so we can match the 12mm supply to the parts you need.
FROM A PANEL SIZE TO A READY-TO-FIT PART
Need a replacement liner, formwork infill or a repeat set of mould parts? Send the board you use, a photo or your cutting list. We manufacture 12mm film faced plywood and can supply full sheets, cut blanks or machined components with sealed edges and identified packs.
Choose the core and film, then compare the format with the parts you need. Standard sheets include 1220 × 2440, 1250 × 2500, 1200 × 2400 and 1500 × 3000mm. The smaller 1830 × 915mm format is also available as a custom order.
Send finished sizes, holes, face direction and part quantities. We can include cutting, drilling, edge treatment and kit labels in the quotation, so your team receives parts organised for the next job.
A 1220 × 2440 × 12mm combi-core sheet with 9 plies weighs approximately 22.1kg on the 620kg/m³ loading basis. That gives you a clear starting point for sheet handling; the finished packing list includes the selected core, format and packaging.
CHOOSE THE CORE, BOND AND WORKING FACE
| Core | Useful starting point | Compare in the sample |
|---|---|---|
| Poplar | Weight-conscious handling and cost-conscious components | Film, edge condition and finished fit |
| Combi | General formwork parts and repeat component orders | Veneer layup, machined edges and fixing details |
| Eucalyptus hardwood | Repeated forming and demanding handling | Film weight, bond and performance in the intended site cycle |
| Birch | Machined components and system-formwork parts | Finished thickness, joints and cut-edge quality |
Choose black, brown or red film in 120, 135, 180 or 220 g/m² options. Include the working face and reverse in the request. For concrete appearance, compare the film with your release treatment and joint detail on a working panel.
Our formwork range offers phenolic WBP and high-melamine WBP adhesive systems. Tell us about wet concrete contact, storage and the site cycle so we can recommend the core, bond and film together.
Need another veneer mix or a dry-use industrial liner? Send the contact material and operating conditions. We can quote that construction separately from the WBP formwork range.
INFILL · SUPPORTED LININGS · MOULDS · CUT KITS
Fit gaps and opening surrounds with accurately cut pieces. Include supported edges, the adjacent face level and attachment points so the supplied part fits the form.
Use a smooth film face over the planned backing. Keep the replacement size and drilling pattern with the part reference to make the next set straightforward to order.
Order returns, inserts and shaped components around the concrete finish you need. Review corners, release and stripping with a first working part before repeating the kit.
Share the curve, panel direction and backing. We help plan a supported forming trial and inspect the film and veneer condition before the production order.
Describe abrasion, impact, moisture and cleaning contact. We help select the face and core and include cut-outs, fixings and edge protection in the component supply.
Group parts by assembly, drawing revision and working-face direction. Factory cutting and labelling help your team spend less time sorting and preparing the delivery.
For a formwork face spanning between supports, use the project's loading, panel direction, support and fixing design with the selected 12mm construction. If the design calls for 18mm, compare 18mm Concrete Shuttering Plywood; for a wider choice of panels, see our Film Faced Shuttering Plywood range.
THICKNESS, BACKING AND A FLUSH WORKING FACE
The calibrated-core configuration uses 12mm ±0.35mm finished thickness: a band of 11.65–12.35mm. Length and width tolerance is ±1.0mm, with dispatch moisture content of 8–12%. Include any tighter recess, joint or accessory fit in the drawing.
Half an inch is 12.7mm. If your existing component is called half-inch, send its measured thickness or frame detail. The nominal difference from 12mm is 0.7mm, which matters at flush joints, clamps and rebates.
For a panel seated in a rebate, use face offset = panel thickness + compressed backing thickness − rebate depth. Take readings from the finished film-faced sheet and include the backing layer in the assembly check. This gives the workshop a useful method for setting the final working plane.
A change from nominal 18mm to 12mm removes 6mm from the stack. Review the face level, clamp engagement and support arrangement together with the revised design. Keep the accepted frame detail with the sample and later replacement order.
COMPARE FORMATS BY THE PARTS THEY PRODUCE
For 295 × 1195mm blanks with the long side following the long sheet side, allow 10mm trim at each outside edge and 3mm between parts. The 1220 × 2440 and 1250 × 2500mm formats each fit eight positions; the custom 1830 × 915mm format fits three.
| Source sheet | Usable rectangle | Columns × rows | Blank positions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1220 × 2440mm | 1200 × 2420mm | 4 × 2 | 8 |
| 1250 × 2500mm | 1230 × 2480mm | 4 × 2 | 8 |
| 915 × 1830mm | 895 × 1810mm | 3 × 1 | 3 |
The small sheet is shown as 915mm across by 1830mm along. Three 295mm parts plus two kerfs need 891mm within the 895mm usable width, leaving 4mm. Include edge cleanup and the minimum usable sheet rectangle when planning that tighter layout.
Keep the working-face direction and final machining allowance with the part list. Send the actual components and we can compare formats or factory-cut supply around the delivered piece count.
SHEET COUNT, WEIGHT AND CONTAINER PLANNING
For 96 of the blanks shown above, the eight-position layouts use 12 source sheets; the three-position layout uses 32. The smaller sheets require 50% more input area than 1220 × 2440mm in this particular layout. Add your spare parts and finishing allowance to the order quantities.
| Source sheet | Positions per sheet | Sheets required | Input sheet area | Nominal input volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1220 × 2440mm | 8 | 12 | 35.7216m² | 0.4286592m³ |
| 1250 × 2500mm | 8 | 12 | 37.5000m² | 0.4500000m³ |
| 915 × 1830mm | 3 | 32 | 53.5824m² | 0.6429888m³ |
The 96 blanks total 33.8424m² of face area and 0.4061088m³ at nominal 12mm. Compare the full-sheet input with that finished part requirement; offcuts and saw loss remain within the purchased sheet quantity.
The following figures use the same combi-core, 620kg/m³ planning basis. A nominal 1220 × 2440 × 12mm sheet weighs approximately 22.1kg, with 9 plies. Other cores have their own density and finished sheet weight.
| Sheet dimensions | One-face area | Nominal volume | Calculated mass |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1220 × 2440 × 12mm | 2.9768m² | 0.0357216m³ | 22.1kg |
| 1250 × 2500 × 12mm | 3.1250m² | 0.0375000m³ | 23.3kg |
| 915 × 1830 × 12mm | 1.6744m² | 0.0200934m³ | 12.5kg |
At the 22.1kg rounded sheet weight, the technical data gives about 1,212 sheets per 40HQ using a 26.8-tonne panel allowance. Bundle dimensions, packaging and route payload limits are included when preparing the final loading plan.
Our bulk price is expressed per m³. For cut parts, we quote the material, machining and edge treatment together with the finished quantities. That makes it easier to compare workshop cutting with factory-prepared supply.
CUT, DRILL, THEN PROTECT THE NEW EDGES
Use a supported cut and trial the blade, drilling and countersinking on the chosen core and film. Include a narrow edge or fixing detail where the part is most sensitive to breakout, and inspect both sides.
Apply the specified protection after cutting and drilling. Check corners, hole exits and recesses before the frame hides them. Restore protection whenever later trimming exposes the plywood again.
Each 295 × 1195mm blank has a perimeter of 2.980m. Across 96 parts that is 286.080m, giving 3.432960m² of outside edge area at nominal 12mm. For four 20mm through-holes per part, the 384 hole walls add about 0.289529m².
| Boundary | Quantity basis | Nominal exposed area |
|---|---|---|
| Outside rectangular edges | 96 × 2.980m = 286.080m | 3.432960m² |
| Four 20mm through-holes per part | 384 holes × π × 0.020m × 0.012m | Approximately 0.289529m² |
| Combined boundary area | Outside edges plus hole walls | Approximately 3.722489m² |
These dimensions describe the cutting layout, not coating consumption. Plan the treatment quantity with the coating instructions, absorption, application losses and number of coats.
We can supply cut sizes, holes, sealed boundaries and labelled component sets. Add the drawing revision and any assembly groups so your team can receive and use the parts in order.
FROM VENEER TO FINISHED FILM-FACED PANELS
These photographs show veneer preparation, assembly, pressing and finished-panel handling in our film-faced plywood range. Your order carries the selected core, adhesive, film and finished dimensions through these stages.
Condition and arrange the veneers for the selected layup. Material preparation supports consistent assembly, pressing and finished dimensions.
Match the adhesive system with the core and intended exposure. Application and pressing follow the chosen production process.
Build the specified construction and keep the order reference with the batch. Check core joints and the regions that will become cut edges or fixing zones.
Bring the bonded core to the finished thickness, then apply the working film. Inspect completed panels after the facing process.
Inspect dimensions, the film and edge condition. For processed parts, repeat the relevant checks after machining and protection.
SEE THE FACE · CHECK THE FIT · TRY THE PART
Compare the film colour, reverse and cut edge. Add a machined edge or hole if that detail affects the part you want to order.
Check the actual frame, joint and fixing detail. For concrete work, use the planned release system and review both the concrete finish and the panel after stripping.
Keep the selected sample and drawing revision for the production order. Not sure which core or film to request? Send the board you use and tell us what you want to improve: finish, fit, handling or cutting yield.
CHECK THE FINISHED SHEET AND THE SUPPLIED PART
| Check | Order reference | Useful record |
|---|---|---|
| Material identity | Core, WBP bond and films on each face | Product and batch reference |
| Finished dimensions | 12mm ±0.35mm and the specified sheet or part size | Measurement positions and readings |
| Working face and cut core | Chosen film, sample and critical fixing zones | Surface and cut-edge photos |
| Machining and protection | Drawing revision, holes and edge finish | Finished-part checks after processing |
| Delivery quantity | Sheets, parts, spares and assembly groups | Pack labels, quantities and loading photos |
For a machined component, include checks after sawing, drilling and edge treatment. Keep the selected sample, drawing revision, measurements and pack photos together so the receiving team can identify the material and count the parts.
TECHNICAL DATA AND ORDER DOCUMENTS
Request the 12mm technical data with the core, film, adhesive and dimensions for your order. We can help arrange the relevant product documents, production checks and packing records around the project requirement.
Use the 12mm configuration and its weight basis with the quotation. If your project calls for a particular test or declaration, send the requirement so the document pack follows the board you plan to buy.
