shuttering
Your ideas brought it to life.
The formwork or shuttering should be strong enough to handle the weight of wet concrete mix and the pressure used to place and compact concrete inside or on top of it. It must be sturdy to prevent surface deflection after the cement concrete is laid and tight enough to stop water and mortar from leaking out. As an experienced house contractor, we ensure that every step of the process meets quality and safety standards.

Timber shuttering was one of the first and most widely used types of formwork in the construction industry, and it continues to be popular today. It’s usually assembled on-site. However, before using timber formwork, it should be carefully checked to ensure it is free from termites. Timber shuttering also has two main drawbacks — a short lifespan and the long time it takes to install in large projects.
As professional home construction contractors, we always recommend cutting timber formwork into reusable pieces for better efficiency and cost savings. Timber shuttering is an ideal choice when labor costs are low or when multiple concrete sections require flexible formwork.
