Phenolic Architectural Forming Panels
Phenolic architectural forming panels from Universal Forest Products provide a high quality architectural concrete finish. Each panel’s surface is smooth, glossy and abrasion resistant, making it a perfect choice when finish is critical. Manufactured using state of the art technology, our panels are composed of 1.4 mm rotary cut artic white birch veneers, with a 220g/m2 phenolic surface film that is thermally bonded to the core. To protect against moisture, all edges are factory sealed.

Trench shoring
UFP's artic white birch phenolic architectural forming panels are OSHA approved for trench shoring. OSHA requires all plywood used for trench shoring to be a full 3/4" thick, 14 – ply artic white birch. Our phenolic architectural forming panel is for prevention of raveling between shores in trench shoring applications. This plywood is not intended for structural use. Standard stocking sizes include: 8x4, 10x4 (oversized), 12x4 (oversized), 8x5 (oversized), 10x5 (oversized), 12x5 (oversized). Please note: not all plants carry oversized panels. Additional oversized panels up to 7x13 may be special ordered. On site CNC machining may be available in your area. CNC machining (available at select UFP locations) allows for precision cuts, boring, beveling and drilling.
