Heavy-Duty Construction Formwork
Galant Film Faced Shuttering Plywood is engineered specifically for commercial and high-rise concrete casting. Built with cross-laminated hardwood veneers bonded with 100% boiling-proof phenolic resin and coated with mirror-finish polymer film on both sides, it delivers maximum repetitions, zero water absorption, and an ultra-smooth concrete finish that eliminates plastering costs.
