Typically, formwork panels are designed to provide a strong and reliable surface capable of withstanding the pressure of wet concrete. Plastic Formwork Panels offer a modern alternative, combining durability with lightweight construction.
Unlike traditional materials, they are completely waterproof, resistant to warping, and environmentally friendly, as they are often made from recycled plastic. This makes plastic formwork panels a sustainable solution that delivers both strength and longevity for concrete casting applications.
Why Switch from Traditional Shuttering Plywood?
Durability and Reusability
While shuttering plywood is widely used in formwork due to its relatively low cost, its life span is limited. Plywood can only be used a limited number of times before it weakens, warps, or sustains damage, especially when exposed to water.
Plastic Formwork Panels, on the other hand, offer up to 2.5 times more repetitions, drastically reducing material replacement costs over time. The inherent strength of recycled plastic sheets ensures they can withstand the rigours of multiple uses without losing their integrity.
Waterproof
Unlike shuttering plywood, which is prone to absorbing moisture, leading to warping and a shorter lifespan, plastic plywood alternatives are completely waterproof. This makes them an ideal choice for construction projects in damp or rainy conditions.
Plastic Formwork Panels resist expansion, contraction, and other issues caused by water exposure, giving you peace of mind for long-lasting durability. Shuttering plywood is phenolic film faced for water resistance but in case of Plastic Formwork Panels it is not required.
Eco-Friendly Alternative
Switching to plastic formwork panels is not only better for your project but also better for the planet. Traditional plywood alternatives, like plastic ply and pvc plywood, are made from recycled plastic, reducing the need for cutting down trees and promoting the use of recycled materials.
WoWShuttering contributes to the circular economy by ensuring no material goes to the landfill—unlike shuttering plywood, which cannot be recycled once damaged.

| Reusability | 2.5x more reusable than shuttering plywood (50+ repetitions) | 3–5 times on average |
| Weight | Heavier | Comparatively lighter |
| Warping/Swelling | No warping or swelling | Prone to warping and swelling |
| Termite & Fungus Resistance | Fully resistant | Susceptible to damage |
| Surface Finish | Smooth and uniform | May degrade over time |
| Maintenance | Easy to clean and maintain | Requires drying and storage care |
| Eco-Friendliness | Made from recycled plastic and aluminium | Uses wood, contributes to deforestation |
| Cost Efficiency (long-term) | High (due to extended reuse life) | Low (due to frequent replacements) |
| Waste Generation | Minimal | High (after few uses) |
The Advantages of Recycled Plastic Sheets for Shuttering
High Repetition Rate
Recycled plastic formwork panels offer up to 2.5x more uses compared to traditional shuttering plywood. This means you can reuse the same sheets across multiple projects, cutting down on costs and waste.
Termite-Proof
One of the major drawbacks of shuttering plywood is its vulnerability to termites and rotting over time. Plastic formwork panels are completely termite-proof and do not degrade like their wooden counterparts, ensuring longevity.
Easy to Handle
Despite its superior strength, plastic formwork panels are easy to handle. This results in faster setup and breakdown times on-site, saving you labour costs and increasing efficiency.
Smoother Finish
For builders seeking high-quality finishes, plastic formwork panels offer a much smoother surface compared to plywood alternatives. This ensures a better end result, with fewer imperfections in the concrete, reducing the need for post-treatment and surface corrections.

FAQs for Formwork Panels
Formwork panels are flat, rigid surfaces used in the construction industry to create moulds or temporary structures that shape and support wet concrete until it sets and gains sufficient strength. These panels are an essential part of the formwork system and can be made from materials such as plywood, steel, aluminium, or plastic. Plastic formwork panels, in particular, offer advantages like durability, waterproofing, reusability, and environmental sustainability, making them an increasingly popular choice in modern construction.
The lifespan of formwork panels depends on the material and usage conditions. Traditional plywood formwork panels generally last for 5 to 10 uses, as they are prone to moisture damage and wear over time. In contrast, Plastic Formwork Panels are highly durable, waterproof, and resistant to warping, allowing them to last for 50+ repetitions with proper care. This extended lifespan makes plastic formwork panels a cost-effective and sustainable option for long-term construction projects.
Yes, it can be reused multiple times if it is cleaned and stored properly after each use. However, the number of reuses depends on the material quality and handling during construction.
Formwork panels usually come in standard thicknesses like 12mm, 18mm, and 21mm. The thickness used depends on the load-bearing requirement of the structure being cast.
Traditional shuttering plywood is not eco-friendly, as it requires cutting trees and generates a lot of waste. Recycled plastic formwork panel options like WoWBoards are more sustainable.
Yes, formwork panels are widely used for slabs, beams, columns, walls, and foundations.
Yes, plastic plywood is ideal for outdoor use due to its resistance to moisture, water and any weather conditions.
While the initial cost is on par with premium plywood, its durability and reusability make it more cost-effective over time compared to traditional plywood.
Some shuttering plywood is treated to be water-resistant (commonly known as film-faced plywood), but it is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to water can still cause swelling and warping.
Yes, formwork panels can be cut, drilled, and shaped using standard tools, just like traditional plywood.
