Phenolic board, also known as film faced plywood, is the preferred formwork material for concrete pouring on Philippine construction sites because its resin coated surface produces a smoother concrete finish and can be reused across multiple pours. It is common on projects ranging from residential column casting to large scale slab and beam work.

Pricing depends mainly on board thickness and the quality of the film coating, since a better coating allows more repeat uses before the board needs replacing. The table below outlines typical costs per standard 4 by 8 foot sheet.

What Affects Phenolic Board Price Prices

• Thickness, since 18mm boards support heavier concrete loads and last longer under repeated use than thinner 12mm sheets
• Film coating quality, as premium double sided film coatings allow more reuses before the surface wears out
• Number of expected pours, since contractors planning many repeat uses often justify paying more for premium boards
• Core wood quality, as boards made from denser core veneers tend to resist edge chipping better
• Order volume, since large scale projects buying in bulk typically negotiate lower per sheet pricing
