The final surface quality of concrete (exposed concrete) and worker safety are two primary indicators in modern construction projects. Wooden formwork equipment, including various types of plywood and wooden concrete formwork beams such as H20 beams and scaffold boards, play a direct and vital role in achieving these two objectives. Zaman Company, by supplying and providing the highest quality wooden accessories, offers an integrated and reliable solution for formwork systems, resulting in increased speed, improved quality, and guaranteed safety in your project.

Why Are Zaman’s Wooden Formwork Components a Smart Choice?
At Zaman Company, we believe that the quality of wood determines the quality of the structure. The difference between our products and similar market offerings lies in three key principles:
1. Superior Raw Material Quality:
We use the finest types of Russian and Finnish wood, waterproof adhesives (WBP), and protective coatings to produce and supply our products. This means higher resistance to moisture, pressure, and harsh site conditions.
2. Durability and Reusability:
Zaman’s wooden products are designed for repeated use. Our plywood panels with durable coating and H20 beams with engineered structure significantly reduce the cost per use.
3. Safety and Compliance with Standards:
Products such as H20 wooden beams and scaffold boards are directly related to the safety of personnel. All these products meet the necessary standards for carrying specified loads and ensure safety during work at height.
Introduction to Plywood and Wooden Beam Products
In this section, each product is briefly introduced and a link to its dedicated page is provided.
Plywood Formwork Panel: A Smooth and Uniform Surface for Concrete
Plywood formwork panels are made from thin layers of wood pressed together with waterproof adhesive. Their smooth, coated surface creates perfectly smooth concrete without the need for finishing work (exposed concrete), and due to high moisture resistance, they can be reused dozens of times.
H20 Wooden Beam: The Backbone of the Formwork System
The H20 wooden beam is an engineered I-section beam that, due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, is the best option for use as primary and secondary beams in ceiling and wall formwork. These beams are lightweight, durable, and available in standard dimensions for fast and accurate implementation.
Safe Scaffold Board: A Reliable Platform for Working at Height
A scaffold board is the working platform for workers on scaffolding, and its safety is critically important. Zaman’s scaffold boards are made from strong wood with standard thickness to ensure the required load-bearing capacity and provide a safe, non-slip surface for movement and work at height.
Application Guide Table
This table helps the user better understand the role of each product in the formwork system.
| System Component | Primary Role | Key Feature | Project Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plywood Panel | Creating the final surface and formwork face | Smooth, waterproof, coated surface | Smooth exposed concrete and reduced finishing costs |
| H20 Wooden Beam | Supporting and bearing load for plywood (primary/secondary beam) | High strength, low weight, standard dimensions | Increased execution speed and reduced overall formwork weight |
| Scaffold Board | Safe working platform for workers | High load-bearing capacity, non-slip surface | Ensured safety at height and improved work efficiency |
Plywood formwork is a type of wooden formwork made from multilayer boards that, due to its reusability and suitable resistance, is often used in the process of constructing concrete structures.
In terms of structure, plywood formworks usually include beams, columns, and unique panels that together form the final formwork. When it is not possible to design and construct concrete structures with irregular angles or special shapes, using plywood formwork is considered an efficient and reliable solution.
Depending on the application and area of use, plywood formwork panels are available in thicknesses ranging from 7 to 32 millimeters, and their appearance can be fully customized. In this way, by changing the location of connections and the arrangement of panels, the plywood formwork can be modified and used for casting other products.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wooden Formwork Components
1. What does WBP adhesive mean in plywood?
WBP stands for "Water Boil Proof." This is the strongest type of waterproof adhesive and ensures that the layers of plywood do not separate when repeatedly exposed to concrete moisture.
2. What is the main advantage of H20 beams compared to traditional wooden planks?
The H20 beam is an engineered product. Compared to traditional planks of the same weight, these beams have much higher strength, do not warp or crack, and due to their standard dimensions, they make the formwork system implementation much more precise and faster.
3. How many times can a high-quality plywood panel be reused?
This number depends on the plywood quality and how it is used and maintained. Zaman’s high-quality coated plywood, if used correctly and cleaned after each use, can be reused 10 to 25 times or even more.
4. Why is it better to purchase all wooden components from a single supplier like Zaman?
This ensures complete compatibility between system components. It also guarantees consistent quality across all products and simplifies the purchasing, coordination, and support process for your project.
