Across India’s construction sites, the question keeps coming up: “Which shuttering material should I choose?” With tight timelines, rising labour costs, and increasing environmental scrutiny, choosing the right formwork material isn’t just about finishing the job—it’s about setting the standard for the future of building. On this World Environment Day, as the world re-examines its […]

In the unpredictable light of an early morning, walking across a half-formed construction site, you see the truth. It’s etched into the warping edges of discarded centring plywood and the damp-stained corners of shuttering ply boards, cast aside like forgotten chapters of an unfinished story. In these fragments, lie the hidden costs that builders across

In the ever-evolving construction landscape, some materials remain familiar companions for decades. Centring plywood is one such material—ubiquitous, practical, and, until recently, unquestioned. But as our world confronts the twin challenges of climate change and resource depletion, the question must be asked: Is it time to move beyond plywood? Join us as we examine the

In construction, the right shuttering material can make or break your structure—literally. Whether you’re casting slabs, columns, or retaining walls, choosing the right shuttering sheets affects finish quality, labour cost, and overall project efficiency. For years, shuttering plywood (or shuttering ply) was the default. Then came aluminium formwork, with its speed and reusability. And now,

Walk onto a construction site and ask any contractor what keeps them up at night. You’ll likely hear about delays, rework, swelling plywood, and budgets stretched thin because materials didn’t perform the way they should. At the heart of all this — lies one material that’s used in almost every project and fails just as

Walk into any construction site in India, and you’re likely to see the same story playing out — stacks of shuttering plywood warping after just a few uses, concrete finishes needing extra plaster, and boards being thrown away far too early. The cost keeps piling up. The waste keeps building up. But what if the

When it comes to concrete formwork, there’s a lot riding on one silent hero — the centring sheet. Whether you’re casting a slab, a beam, or a column, the material you choose for your centring work directly impacts the final structure’s finish, strength, and cost. Across India, traditional centring plywood — especially 18mm sheets —

In the construction world, shuttering plywood has long been the default choice for formwork. From columns and slabs to retaining walls and beams, plywood shuttering is used to mould concrete into shape. But on real Indian sites—where weather is harsh, timelines are tight, and budgets are stretched—plywood for shuttering is starting to show its cracks.

In the construction world, shuttering plywood has long been a staple for creating moulds and frameworks that support concrete structures until they gain strength. Whether it’s for columns, slabs, beams, or retaining walls, shuttering plywood has traditionally been the go-to material. But with growing demand for more sustainable, cost-effective, and durable solutions, newer materials like

When selecting shuttering materials for construction, contractors often compare PVC sheets, WPC boards, and other formwork materials to determine the best durability, cost efficiency, and reusability. While PVC shuttering plates and WPC sheets are popular options, they have limitations that impact long-term value. This article explores how these materials compare and introduces an alternative—plastic shuttering
