Shuttering Plywood Sheets / Solid Plywood sheets

-

 , shuttering plywood sheets play a vital role in shaping, supporting, and strengthening concrete structures. From residential buildings to large commercial and infrastructure projects, shuttering plywood ensures accuracy, safety, and durability during concrete casting. 

What Are Shuttering Plywood Sheets? 

Shuttering plywood sheets are high-strength, heavy-duty plywood panels specially manufactured for use in concrete formwork. They act as temporary molds that hold wet concrete in place until it gains sufficient strength.

Shuttering Plywood


 These sheets are designed to: 

Withstand heavy loads Resist moisture and water Provide a smooth concrete finish Be reused multiple times without losing strength. Key Features of Shuttering Plywood

 1. High Load-Bearing Strength Manufactured using hardwood veneers and strong bonding adhesives, shuttering plywood can bear intense pressure from wet concrete.

 2. Waterproof & Moisture Resistant Phenolic resins and waterproof glue prevent swelling, warping, and delamination during use.

 3. Smooth Surface Finish Produces clean, even concrete surfaces, reducing plastering and finishing costs. 4. Multiple Reusability Premium shuttering plywood can be reused 20–30 times (or more with proper handling), making it cost-effective.

 5. Dimensional Stability Maintains shape and thickness even under extreme site conditions. Common Applications of Shuttering Plywood Sheets Shuttering plywood is widely used in: Slabs and foundations Beams and columns Walls and retaining structures Bridges and flyovers Industrial and commercial buildings High-rise construction projects Benefits of Using Shuttering Plywood in Construction Faster construction cycles Reduced material wastage Lower labor and finishing costs Stronger and more accurate concrete structures Long-term savings due to reusability How to Choose the Right Shuttering Plywood When selecting shuttering plywood sheets, consider: Thickness (12mm, 18mm, 21mm depending on load) Core quality (hardwood core preferred) Glue type (phenolic / waterproof adhesive) Surface coating (film-faced or resin-coated) Brand reliability and quality control.

Plywood


1. What thickness is best for shuttering plywood?

 The most commonly used thickness is 18mm, as it provides excellent strength for slabs, beams, and columns. For heavier loads, 21mm is recommended. 

2. How many times can shuttering plywood be reused?

 High-quality shuttering plywood can be reused 20–30 times, and sometimes more if cleaned and stored properly after each use. 

3. Is shuttering plywood waterproof? 

Yes. Shuttering plywood is manufactured using waterproof phenolic resin, making it highly resistant to water and moisture during concrete work. 

4. What is the difference between shuttering plywood and commercial plywood? 

Shuttering plywood is stronger, waterproof, and load-bearing, while commercial plywood is designed mainly for furniture and interior use. 

5. Can shuttering plywood be used for furniture?

 It is not recommended. Shuttering plywood is made for structural strength, not for aesthetic or interior finishing. 

6. How should shuttering plywood be maintained for reuse?

 Clean cement residue after use Apply shuttering oil before next use Store sheets flat in a dry area Proper care increases lifespan and performance.
