Shuttering Materials

Product Description

Shuttering materials, used to mold concrete during construction, commonly include timber, steel, plywood, and aluminum, each chosen based on project needs and budget. These materials must be strong, durable, and capable of maintaining their shape under load. Strength and Rigidity: The material must be strong enough to withstand the weight of the concrete and the forces during pouring. 

• Shape Retention: It should maintain its shape under load and prevent deformation. 
• Tight Joints: Joints should be tight to prevent leakage of cement grout. 
• Removability: The shuttering should be easy to remove after the concrete has cured. 
• Reusability: Many materials, like steel and plywood, are designed for multiple uses. 
• Surface Finish: The material should provide a smooth and even surface finish on the concrete.
