What are the Benefits of Plastic Building Templates Compared to Wooden Templates?

Jan. 17, 2020

Calculated from the price of a single template, the price of a wooden template is lower than that of a plastic hollow building template. From the above, the price of a wooden template is relatively low, so many people see that the price of a plastic building template is so much higher. Some people are discouraged. So why are we still pushing for high prices? What do customers who choose plastic building templates value? The following Plastic Formwork supplier will take you to find out.


First of all, in terms of the number of uses, the general wooden formwork is about 6 times, and the maximum of 10 times is basically the limit. The plastic building formwork can be repeated at least 50 times. This 50 times is not the limit, but a minimum guarantee value.


Furthermore, after the wooden formwork is used, it is basically scrapped and needs to be replaced with a new one. Hollow plastic building templates can be recycled after they are used up. In fact, the price of each sheet is only 20 yuan higher than the wooden template. And the wall surface of the hollow plastic building template is smooth, avoiding secondary plastering. It is also very easy to clean after use. The plastic building template does not stick to the concrete and can be rinsed directly with water. In the case of water absorption and shrinkage, there are some differences between plastic and plywood templates. After the plywood template is established, in view of the closed hole, we need to pour water on the plywood, we must water to wet the template. In any case, it is difficult to control the amount of water. More water may make the board softer, and the absence of water may not be enough to close the holes. This is why more and more construction units choose plastic building templates one.

Plastic Formwork


Plastic Construction Formwork has obvious advantages in performance and quality. Compared with other formwork, hollow plastic building formwork is not absorbed and deformed like wooden formwork, and is not as difficult and difficult to manufacture as steel formwork. The overall performance of the template is better, and the cost for everyone is lower than the cost of the steel template and Aluminium Formwork. The advantages of price and cost are obvious. Hollow plastic construction formwork can be assembled into beam, column, wall, floor formwork according to design requirements, and conduct general survey to effectively improve the construction schedule and save time and cost.


The material of the plastic building template determines its resistance to high temperatures. It can maintain the characteristics of non-shrinkage and non-deformation at a temperature of -20°C to + 60°C. In addition, due to environmental impact, cracking or even stinging, the building membrane will not swell, damage and the high recovery rate of harmful organisms.


The purpose of the plastic building template is to form and maintain new concrete poured to a certain strength to support the temporary structure of its own weight and eliminate the model board. It is particularly suitable for pouring concrete structures or components with complex shapes and a small number. In addition, due to the low thermal conductivity of plastic, the plastic building template of the building has a certain thermal insulation and maintenance effect in the winter concrete construction process. Wooden formwork has low recovery rate and high loss. In order to save wood, China began to "replace wood with plastics". So far, the use of wood formwork in reinforced concrete structures molded at the construction site has been greatly reduced. Plastic structural formwork can overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned wooden formwork and is widely used.
