Marine Boards

Achieve a flawless, mirror-smooth concrete finish with our premium waterproof marine boards (widely known by Nigerian contractors as film-faced plywood, black boards, or shuttering planks). Engineered to handle the extreme moisture of wet concrete mixes, these high-tensile boards are the top choice for decking formwork, column casting, and retaining walls across Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.

Manufactured from densified hardwood core veneers and sealed with a glossy, water-resistant phenolic film coating, our marine boards completely replace traditional rough timber planks. They prevent water absorption, meaning your boards will not warp, swell, or split during Nigeria’s intense rainy seasons.

Uses and features

100% Waterproof Phenolic Film: Double-sided black or brown glossy coating blocks moisture, ensuring concrete does not stick and leaves a clean, plaster-ready finish.
WBP Phenolic Glue Core: Assembled using Weather and Boil Proof (WBP) adhesive, meaning the internal wooden layers will not delaminate or separate under hot sun or heavy rain. [1, 2]
Multi-Cycle Reusability: Highly durable construction allows each sheet to be stripped, cleaned, and reused up to 15–20 times, drastically lowering your formwork expenses.
Sealed Acrylic Edges: Factory-painted waterproof borders prevent lateral water ingress, maintaining structural stiffness throughout the casting process.
Standard Market Sizing: Perfectly matches standard architectural blueprints and easily pairs with steel Acrow props and Jaguar tie rods.
