Choose buffalo board plywood when floors must grip and last. This phenolic birch sheet carries a textured anti-slip mesh film on one face and a smooth phenolic film on the reverse. Because the birch core is dense and cross-banded, the panel handles heavy loads, machines cleanly and stays flat. As a result, it excels in trailer decks, van linings, scaffolds, stages and loading ramps.
- Anti-slip mesh surface for safer footing in wet or dusty conditions
- Smooth reverse film for easy cleaning and quick slide of goods
- Strong birch core with reliable screw holding and high load capacity
- Moisture and chemical resistance for demanding sites
- Factory-sealed edges with acrylic paint for added protection
- Dark brown standard colour for a smart, consistent finish
