Product Detail

Formwork, also known as “shuttering,” is a temporary structure or mold used in construction to support and shape concrete or other materials while they are setting or curing. Formwork can be made from various materials, including timber (wood), steel, aluminum, and plastic. In this context, I’ll provide you with information about timber formwork.

Timber formwork involves using wooden boards, planks, or panels to create the molds into which concrete is poured. Here are some key points:

Material Selection: Timber formwork is typically made from softwood lumber, such as pine or spruce. These woods are chosen for their strength, availability, and cost-effectiveness.
Types of Timber Formwork:
- Traditional Timber Formwork: This involves using wooden planks, boards, or panels to create the formwork structure. These are secured with nails or screws and braced to withstand the pressure of the poured concrete.
- Engineered Timber Formwork: Engineered wood products, such as plywood or oriented strand board (OSB), are often used in formwork. These materials offer greater uniformity and strength compared to natural lumber.
Advantages:
- Cost-effective: Timber is often more affordable than other formwork materials like steel or aluminum.
- Easy to Work With: Wood is easy to cut, shape, and assemble, making it suitable for various formwork designs.
- Readily Available: Timber is widely available in most regions, reducing supply chain issues.
- Good Insulator: Wood provides some thermal insulation for curing concrete.
Environmental Considerations: The use of formwork has environmental implications, as it involves cutting down trees. However, wood is a renewable resource, and sustainable forestry practices can mitigate some of these concerns.
Design and Construction: Timber formwork systems need to be designed carefully to withstand the pressure of wet concrete. Adequate bracing, supports, and ties are essential to prevent bulging, bending, or collapse during pouring.
