Recycled Plastic Sheets & Boards for Shuttering
WoWShuttering

WoWMaterials’ recycled plastic shuttering sheets are formwork panels made from recycled plastic and designed for construction use. They are designed to hold the concrete until it sets, similar to traditional wooden or plywood shuttering. By using recycled plastics, these sheets reduce the need for virgin plastic and timber, contributing to more sustainable construction practices. They offer more strength, durability, and reusability than traditional shuttering materials, with the added benefit of being environmentally friendly.

Yes, WoWMaterials’ plastic shuttering sheets are more durable than traditional shuttering plywood. They are designed to provide excellent support for concrete moulds, ensuring that the structure maintains its shape during the pouring and setting process. In addition to being physically strong, recycled plastic sheets are resistant to water, chemicals, termites and UV rays, making them more durable in harsh environments. Unlike plywood, which can warp or break, plastic sheets retain their shape and strength over time, making them a reliable alternative.

Recycled plastic sheets are designed to perform exceptionally well in various weather conditions. They are waterproof, which means they do not absorb moisture and are resistant to swelling or warping, even in damp environments. This makes plastic shuttering sheets ideal for use in areas with high humidity or frequent rainfall. Additionally, their robust construction ensures they can withstand extreme temperatures and harsh environmental conditions without compromising their structural integrity. Plastic shuttering sheets provide reliable and consistent performance whether you’re working in hot, cold, or wet climates.

Yes, plastic shuttering is highly versatile and can be used for various applications, including circular, vertical, horizontal, and monolithic shuttering. The flexibility of plastic shuttering makes it suitable for a wide range of construction projects, from residential buildings to large commercial structures. Its adaptability ensures it can be easily moulded and shaped to fit any design requirements, providing unmatched flexibility on-site. This versatility, durability, and ease of handling make plastic shuttering an excellent choice for any construction application.

While the initial cost of recycled plastic sheets may be slightly higher than traditional materials like plywood, they offer significant cost savings in the long run. The high repetition rate of plastic shuttering sheets—at least 2.5 times that of plywood—can be reused multiple times, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Their durability and waterproof nature also ensure a longer lifespan, lowering overall costs. By investing in plastic shuttering sheets, you can achieve better value for money through reduced material and labour costs over the lifespan of your construction projects. If there’s a buy-back program with the manufacturer, plastic shuttering can be recycled endlessly.
