Shuttering Plywood

Key Characteristics of Shuttering Plywood:

• Strength: Shuttering plywood must be strong enough to withstand the weight of wet concrete without bending or breaking.
• Durability: It needs to be resistant to moisture and chemicals, as it is exposed to harsh conditions during construction.
• Smooth Surface: A smooth surface helps prevent imperfections in the concrete finish.
• Dimensional Stability: Shuttering plywood should maintain its shape and size throughout the construction process.

Applications of Shuttering Plywood:

• Formwork for Concrete Structures: Walls, slabs, columns, beams, and foundations.
• Temporary Structures: Scaffolding, platforms, and ramps.
• Temporary Flooring: For construction sites and events.

Types of Shuttering Plywood:

• Commercial Grade: A general-purpose shuttering plywood suitable for most construction projects.
• Marine Grade: A higher-quality option with improved moisture resistance and durability, often used in marine applications.
• Fire-Resistant Grade: Treated to be more resistant to fire, suitable for buildings with strict fire safety requirements.
