shuttering

Your ideas brought it to life.

The formwork or shuttering should be sturdy enough to handle the weight of wet concrete mix as well as the pressure used to place and compact concrete inside or on top of it. It should be robust to avoid deflection in the surface after cement concrete is laid, as well as sufficiently tight to prevent water and mortar from leaking out of the cement concrete.

Timber shuttering was one of the first and most widely utilised types of formwork in the construction industry, and it is still widely employed today. It’s usually put together on the spot.

 

However, before utilising timber formwork, it must be thoroughly examined to ensure that it is free of termites. Timber shuttering also has two drawbacks that must be considered when employing it: it has a short lifespan and takes a long time to install in large projects.

 

When utilising timber shuttering, make sure to cut it into pieces that can be reused. When labour costs are low or several concrete sections necessitate flexible formwork, timber shuttering is chosen.
