They are also waterproof, ensuring longevity even in damp conditions, and are made from recycled materials, promoting sustainability. Additionally, plastic shuttering boards provide a better finish, enhancing the aesthetic quality of your projects. By choosing plastic shuttering boards, you also contribute to a circular economy as they can be endlessly recycled, unlike plywood, which often ends up in landfills.

Question 6

Can plastic shuttering be used for all types of shuttering applications?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

How does the cost of plastic shuttering sheets compare to traditional materials?

Accepted Answer

While the initial cost of plastic shuttering 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.

Question 8

Are plastic shuttering boards environmentally friendly?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, plastic shuttering boards are an environmentally friendly choice for construction projects. Our boards are made from recycled materials, which helps reduce waste and the consumption of new raw materials. Moreover, plastic shuttering boards can be endlessly recycled, promoting a circular economy and ensuring that no material from your sites ends up in landfills. By choosing plastic shuttering boards, you not only enhance the sustainability of your projects but also contribute to reducing the overall environmental impact of the construction industry. This commitment to sustainability does not compromise quality or performance, making plastic shuttering boards a responsible and practical choice.

Question 9

What is shuttering plywood?

Accepted Answer

Shuttering plywood, also known as shuttering ply or shuttering ply board, is a type of plywood used in the construction industry primarily for creating formwork, which is the temporary mould into which concrete is poured to achieve the desired shape. Shuttering plywood is designed to withstand the high pressures of poured concrete. It is water resistant but not waterproof. A good quality shuttering plywood can be repeated 5-10 times in shuttering. However, it is prone to termite attacks and cannot be recycled – ending up in landfills.

Question 10

What is shuttering ply used for?

Accepted Answer

Shuttering ply, or shuttering ply board, is used to construct concrete structures. It is the mould that shapes the concrete while it sets and cures. This type of plywood is particularly used for creating vertical and horizontal concrete structures like columns, walls, beams and slabs.

Question 11

Are plastic shuttering sheets better than shuttering plywood?

Accepted Answer

Plastic shuttering sheets offer several advantages over traditional shuttering plywood. While shuttering plywood and shuttering ply board are effective for creating concrete forms, plastic shuttering sheets are more durable, reusable, and resistant to water and chemicals. Plastic shuttering does not warp or delaminate over time, making it a more cost-effective and sustainable option in the long run. Plastic shuttering sheets are known to give more repetitions than shuttering plywood.

Question 12

What is centring plywood?

Accepted Answer

Centring plywood, also known as centring ply, is a type of waterproof plywood used to support the weight of concrete slabs during construction. It is crucial in creating horizontal surfaces, such as floors and roofs, ensuring that the concrete maintains its shape while setting. The water-resistant properties of centring plywood make it particularly effective in construction projects where moisture resistance is necessary. As it is only water-resistant and not waterproof, it is prone to bulging or warping after 4-5 repetitions, making it unusable for further shuttering.

Question 13

Can I use plastic shuttering sheets instead of centring plywood?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use plastic shuttering sheets instead of centring plywood. Plastic shuttering sheets are a versatile alternative to traditional plywood centring sheets. They offer better durability, reusability, and resistance to water and chemicals, making them suitable for various construction applications, including those requiring centring support. Since the number of repetitions that plastic shuttering sheets can achieve is more than that of centring plywood, they are considered a better alternative.

Question 14

What is PVC plywood or PVC ply board?

Accepted Answer

PVC plywood, also known as PVC ply board or plastic plywood, is a type of plywood made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It combines the structural strength of traditional plywood with a layer of PVC, making it resistant to water, termites, and chemicals. PVC ply is generally more expensive than traditional plywood. PVC is not biodegradable, which can contribute to environmental pollution. The PVC coating can be susceptible to scratches and dents, which may affect the water-resistant property.

Question 15

Can I use plastic shuttering boards instead of PVC plywood?
