Why Shuttering Plywood Boards Make Sense in Construction

Shuttering plywood boards are used widely in construction and it’s no wonder, as they are the essential components in a wide range of building projects. Whether you are a builder or a DIY home improver, these versatile sheets of plywood offer quality and affordability, and can usually be dispatched and delivered within a short timescale, making them an excellent building material. If you are wondering whether you need shuttering plywood boards in your projects, read on for the low down!

Properties and applications

Shuttering plywood is primarily designed for use in concrete formwork, providing a sturdy and reliable mould for pouring concrete. Made from layers of thin wood veneers bonded together with strong adhesive, this type of plywood boasts excellent strength and durability. Its smooth surface ensures a clean finish on concrete structures, while its moisture-resistant properties make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Aside from its intended use, shuttering boards can also be used for a number of other general construction applications, including roofing, flooring and long term site hoardings.

Available sizes and quality standards

Shuttering plywood boards come in a variety of sizes to suit different construction needs. Common thicknesses range from 12mm to 18mm, with standard sheet sizes typically measuring 4 feet by 8 feet. When purchasing shuttering plywood, it’s crucial to look for products that meet quality standards and comply with industry regulations and performance requirements.

Purchasing options

With the growing demand for shuttering plywood in construction, there are numerous purchasing options available to buyers such as the online retailer specialising in building and plumbing materials for both professionals and DIYers, for example it is worth looking at Nationwide Supplies shuttering board. Many suppliers offer bulk discounts and competitive prices, making it easier for you to source materials within budget. Additionally, online platforms and local distributors often provide speedy delivery services, ensuring that you can get your hands on the plywood without delay.

Plywood in my own home

Beyond its primary use in concrete formwork, strong sheets of plywood can also be an excellent choice for flooring in toilets and bathrooms as I learned recently, having it installed as a replacement floor in my water damaged second toilet and utility area. Its moisture-resistant properties make it highly suitable for these wet areas, providing a durable and long-lasting flooring solution. Functional rather than aesthetically pleasing, all it needed was an outer covering such as the decorative vinyl we used to provide a robust, sturdy and attractive floor that I don’t need to worry about.

In conclusion, shuttering plywood boards are indispensable in modern construction, offering a blend of affordability, quality, and versatility. Whether used in concrete formwork, hoarding, roofing or as flooring, these plywood sheets deliver exceptional performance and value. With a wide range of sizes, quality standards, and purchasing options available, you can easily find the right plywood to meet your specific needs.
