ESPADA İSKELE
What Is Film-Faced Formwork Plywood?
Plywood is a multi-layer wood panel made by bonding veneers with alternating grain direction. On site it is used mainly as the face of concrete formwork for a smoother finish and repeated form cycles.
For formwork, the critical choices are a film-faced surface and adhesive class; class and film details are confirmed against stock in the quote. The film can help reduce concrete sticking and ease stripping. At Espada İskele, plywood is offered as film-faced formwork board.
Compare layer count, thickness (18–21 mm) and wood species (birch, pine, tropical, poplar plywood) in the list above, then request a quote with sizes and quantities. No fixed list price is published—match the board to project need.
Plywood Options: Layers, Thickness and Wood
The table below lists only options available on this page. It uses the same data as the filters; unavailable combinations are omitted.
Layer count
The list includes 9, 11 and 13 layers. At 9 layers: pine or poplar; at 11: birch, pine, poplar and (18 mm only) tropical; at 13: birch, pine and (18 mm only) tropical. Poplar has no 13-layer option. Match layer count to project need.
18 mm and 21 mm thickness options
Thickness options are 18 mm and 21 mm. Tropical wood is listed at 18 mm only in this catalogue. Final choice should follow span and the supporting formwork system.
Birch, pine, tropical and poplar options
Birch, pine, tropical and poplar are the wood filters on this page. Not every combination is stocked: there is no 9-layer birch; tropical is offered only at 11 or 13 layers and 18 mm; poplar is 9 or 11 layers only (no 13). Confirm stock and origin in the quote.
Poplar plywood (film-faced)
Poplar plywood is listed here as film-faced formwork board at 9 and 11 layers, 18 mm or 21 mm; there is no 13-layer poplar. It is not offered as marine plywood. Confirm stock, origin and film details in the quote.

What to Check When Choosing Plywood
Do not choose on price alone—match size, layers, wood and the formwork system you will use.
Project need and thickness
Pick 18 mm or 21 mm from slab depth, span and bearer spacing. If unsure, confirm with the technical team.
Layers and wood species
Choose layer count and wood (birch, pine, tropical, poplar) from the list. Nine-layer birch is not offered; tropical is listed only at 11/13 layers and 18 mm; poplar is 9/11 layers only.
Surface and film
A film face is part of Espada’s plywood description. Confirm film weight and colour on order; this page does not publish hard performance numbers.
Edge and surface condition
On delivery check surface damage, broken corners and delamination. Do not assume used stock unless it is offered.
Fit with the formwork system
Do not choose plywood apart from H20 timber beams and table-form layout. Span and bearer spacing drive thickness need.

What Is Film-Faced Plywood For?
Film-faced plywood is a formwork board with a phenolic film overlay. Espada describes its plywood as film-faced, aiming for a more controlled working face against concrete.
Form face
Used as the concrete-contact face on slab, wall and column forms. Surface condition and care affect the finished concrete look.
Film overlay (general)
The film can help protect the board in use and ease striking. Weight, colour and reuse potential vary by manufacturer data and site care—this page does not claim a fixed reuse cycle.
Edges and storage
Protecting cut edges, using release agent and dry storage affect service life. Confirm edge treatment against stock when ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are plywood, pleymut and kontrplak the same?
In Turkey plywood, pleymut and kontrplak often refer to the same panel family. On this Espada page the product is film-faced formwork plywood; what matters is face, layers, thickness and wood.
How do I choose between 18 mm and 21 mm?
Both thicknesses are listed here. Tropical wood is offered at 18 mm only. Choice follows form span, bearer spacing and project detail—confirm with technical support if unsure.
What are the birch, pine, tropical and poplar options?
All four appear in the filters. Valid combinations: 9 layers pine or poplar; at 11 layers birch, pine or poplar (18/21 mm) and tropical (18 mm only); at 13 layers birch or pine (18/21 mm) and tropical (18 mm only)—poplar has no 13-layer option. Confirm stock and origin in the quote; this page does not rank species by strength.
What is poplar plywood and which options are available?
Searches for poplar plywood usually mean the same film-faced formwork board. At Espada, poplar is listed at 9 and 11 layers, 18 mm or 21 mm; there is no 13-layer poplar. Marine plywood and thin (2–5 mm) boards are not stocked here. Request a quote with model, quantity and delivery point.
What does film-faced plywood mean?
It is a formwork board with a phenolic film face. Espada describes its plywood as film-faced; weight and colour are confirmed on order.
Do you sell marine plywood or thin (2–5 mm) boards?
This catalogue does not list marine plywood or 2–5 mm thin boards. Poplar film-faced formwork plywood is offered at 9 and 11 layers (no 13-layer). Other woods: birch, pine, tropical—with the combination rules above. We do not present marine plywood as equivalent to film-faced formwork plywood.
Where is the plywood price listed?
No fixed list price is published. Use Get a quote with layers, thickness, wood, quantity and delivery point; price is confirmed in the quote process.
What information is needed for a quote?
Layers, thickness, wood (or model name), quantity and delivery point are enough—send via Get a quote or the contact page.
How are technical specs confirmed before purchase?
Layer/thickness/wood on this page are current catalogue options. Panel size, film weight and adhesive class are confirmed against stock at quote time.
