Comparison of Metal and Plastic Formwork Panels

In the large construction market we can see many kinds of formwork panels. They are made by different materials, such as metal, hollow plastic, common plastic, steel, bamboo, playwood and so on.

Today i will show the difference between our Beizhu Hollow plastic formwork panels with metal formwork panel. See as follows:

1.The price of metal formwork is much higher than plastic formwork panels.

2.Because of the heavy weight of the metal formwork panels, the builder need to rent cranes and other equipment. The rent fee is also a big cost.

3.Because of the heavy weight of the metal formwork panels, the labor cost is higher, the speed of installation and speed of demoulding is slow.

4.The metal formwork panels must be used in High - rise building, in order to reduce the use of costs. If the floor number of the building is less than 30,we do not suggest to choose metal formwork panels.

5.Because of the re-usability, if use PP hollow plastic formwork to construct 30-storey high-rise, just need to purchase formwork panels for 3 storeys. 

6.When use aluminum alloy formwork panels, the structural drawings and construction drawings must be very accurate, and need to design the size of formwork panels in advance, otherwise the size of formwork panels can not suitable for the project.

7.When using aluminum formwork ,size can not be modified, but plastic formwork can be cut according to the requirements.

8. One-time investment of metal formwork is high, very expensive.

9.After using, the surface of concrete and aluminum had a chemical reaction, the concrete surface is smooth, but there will be some small bubbles.

10. Because there is no corrosion resistance, so the aluminum formwork panels cannot be used on construction basement.
