AEGIS Building supplies sustainable formply with added value and reliability for construction, builders and contractors. AEGIS formply is a smart choice because it balances weight against structural performances.
Most builders are choosing AEGIS concrete formply because it rewards them and it’s a purpose engineered forming panel that punches well above its price point.
What is Formply?
Formply is a phenolic film-coated plywood and it is specifically manufactured for construction. It is built around a tough, moisture-resistant core with a waterproof adhesive ensuring durability. The waterproof adhesive keeps it from breaking down in demanding conditions.
The ‘F’ represents the strength meaning stress grade of the plywood. The higher the F grader, the greater will be the strength.
Difference between F-14 and F-17 formply:
Both F14 and F-17 are used in construction but there is a big difference in their Load bearing capacity strength and Applications.
Weight Capacity and Durability:
F-14 formply:
Has lower structural strength as compared to F-17 formply.
Ideal for low to mid-range Structural applications.
Capable of bearing average concrete weights But heavy or large pours may require additional bracing.
F-17 formply:
Has higher stress grade meaning it can bear heavy loads and is great for extra pressure.
Designed for heavy duty Large form concrete tasks
Eliminates the need for extra bracing, cutting costs and making it the best option for large scale concrete Projects.

Conclusion:
The main difference between F-14 and F-17 formply is their strength and load bearing capacity. Both are solid options that offer great durability and hold well against moisture. But the F-17 is best because it is more stiffer and it is more durable for a long time. The F-17 formply does not lose its strength for a long time.
