    Building Materials Product Recommendation – Film Faced Plywood

    Novembro 27, 2025

As a company with years of operation in the building materials industry, we continuously supply high-quality building materials and provide comprehensive services to global customers, committed to meeting the product needs of different clients. The product we are recommending to you today is also a building material that has garnered significant attention in the global market, specifically film-faced plywood. It is a specific category of plywood as we know it, with its own uniqueness. Its base material is generally composed of multiple layers of ordinary plywood, but unlike ordinary plywood, during processing, its surface will be covered with a layer of film through a special process. The composition of this film is generally phenolic resin. The wood used for the plywood base material is usually high-quality wood such as poplar and pine. After multiple processes, the boards are made to have good strength and stability. However, the most crucial part is the thin film on the surface of the board. Don’t underestimate this layer of film, because it is what makes it different from ordinary plywood. High-performance phenolic resin is bonded to the base material through high temperature and pressure, forming a hard and smooth protective layer. It is this layer of film that endows the board with more excellent properties, making it particularly suitable for various scenarios such as house construction, bridge construction, and furniture manufacturing. It can be said that it is indispensable in various construction projects. Our SUMEC Building Materials team has provided many customers with different models of film faced plywood in past businesses. Under strict quality control and inspection, the products we deliver to customers are very reliable.

As we mentioned earlier, this product is widely used in the construction field and can be regarded as a “versatile player”. Specifically, it is used in the following scenarios: first, various types of housing construction, which can be used as form-work materials during concrete pouring, such as the pouring of walls, floors and other parts. For example, a large residential project in the Middle East used film faced plywood from China. Thanks to the excellent characteristics of the product, the entire construction process was accelerated, and the pass rate of the flatness of the concrete surface was greatly improved, so that the speed and quality of the entire project were enhanced. In addition, it can also be used in the construction of bridges and tunnels. This product can withstand the huge pressure generated during concrete pouring without being damaged, ensuring precise structural dimensions. Film faced plywood also has great uses in the furniture manufacturing and packaging industries. It can be used as the board of furniture cabinets. Due to the film on the surface, it has excellent waterproof and moisture-proof performance, and is not easy to deform. Therefore, we can usually see it in environments with high humidity or moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens. In addition, it is also a particularly good packaging material, especially suitable for heavy-duty packaging. For example, when transporting some precision equipment or instruments over long distances, using it as packaging material can prevent the goods from being damaged.

Finally, let’s summarize the differences between film faced plywood and ordinary plywood. It is made by high temperature and high pressure, with static bending strength more than twice that of wood, so it can bear more pressure and has good toughness; its surface film is precisely processed, smooth and flat, and easy to demould, making it the first choice for concrete pouring; it is convenient to use, light in weight, easy to cut and nail, and can be processed in various ways according to construction requirements; it has super water resistance, performs well in humid environments, and is not easy to deform; it has a high number of turnovers, more than that of general construction form-work.
