Shuttering Plywood Alternative
WoWShuttering - A Superior Alternative to Shuttering Ply
Shuttering plywood is a specialised type of plywood used in the construction industry to form molds, known as formwork or shuttering, that hold concrete until it sets. Typically, shuttering ply is made from multiple layers of wood veneers glued together to create a sturdy, durable sheet capable of withstanding the pressure exerted by wet concrete. While shuttering plywood has been a standard material for this purpose, it comes with limitations like susceptibility to water damage, warping, and environmental concerns due to deforestation.
In contrast, recycled plastic sheets offer a sustainable and superior alternative, providing the strength and durability needed for shuttering applications without the drawbacks of traditional plywood.
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 shuttering sheets, 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 shuttering plywood sheets 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 recycled plastic boards it is not required.
Eco-Friendly Alternative
Switching to recycled plastic sheets 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.

The Advantages of Recycled Plastic Sheets for Shuttering
High Repetition Rate
Recycled plastic plywood alternatives 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 plywood and plastic ply boards are completely termite-proof and do not degrade like their wooden counterparts, ensuring longevity.
Easy to Handle
Despite its superior strength, plastic shuttering plywood is 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 shuttering sheets 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.
