PEFC
Certificate type
A birch throughout plywood overlaid with a wood-plastic composite (WPC) material.
Heavy building
Riga Poliform is a speciality formwork panel with superb mechanical properties and is designed to last longer with as many as 300 uses depending on specific end-use and site practice.
Features and benefits:
Further processing
Riga Poliform can be further processed according to customer's specification with cut-to-size, CNC, drilling, milling, jointing, edge machining, and assembling in sets.
Surface properties
The wood-plastic composite coating offers a highly durable, hard and dense surface, increasing panel resistance against mechanical damage and wearing. It resists concrete release agents, cement alkalis and other corrosive chemicals. The panels can be used within a temperature range from −40 °C up to +80 °C. Cold temperatures can reduce WPC flexibility making it less suitable for nailing. After use, panels release well and maintain their performance for a long time. Riga Wood experts will advise the most appropriate overlay depending on the end use.
