Quick Answers

Does the anti-slip texture wear off?
Yes, gradually. The raised mesh ridges flatten under foot traffic and equipment loads over the panel's reuse life. The texture does not peel, chip, or shed — it's the cured shape of the phenolic film itself, not a separate coating. When the imprint flattens to roughly half its original depth, the slip-resistance benefit declines and the panel should be retired from anti-slip duty.
Can I paint over the anti-slip surface?
Yes, but it usually defeats the purpose — paint fills the mesh recesses and reduces grip. If a colour-coded working surface is required, request the panel with a tinted phenolic film rather than painting over a standard panel.
What's the slip-resistance rating?
The texture provides engineered slip resistance, but specific coefficient of friction values vary by film weight, texture depth, surface state, and footwear material. Request mill test reports from your supplier for documented values on the exact panel specification you're sourcing.
Is anti-slip the same as wire-mesh?
Wire-mesh is the most common anti-slip pattern, but "anti-slip" is the broader category. Diamond mesh and crosshatch patterns are also produced as anti-slip textures. Hexagonal wire mesh is the industry default for the combination of grip, release cleanliness, and cleaning ease.
Can I order one face anti-slip and one face smooth?
Yes — that's the 1S/A configuration. Anti-slip on the working-face side, smooth on the concrete-pour side. It's the most common specification for combined-duty applications.
How does anti-slip film-faced plywood compare to grit-overlay plywood?
Wire-mesh anti-slip is integral to the cured phenolic film and won't peel, chip, or shed. Grit-overlay plywood has abrasive particles bonded to the surface as a separate layer; the overlay is typically cheaper but wears unevenly under traffic and can shed grit into formwork systems.
