Aluminium Formwork Panels
Modern construction projects demand speed, precision, and cost efficiency. Aluminium formwork panels offer all three, making them the preferred choice for high-rise buildings, residential complexes, and commercial structures.
These panels are lightweight, durable, and reusable, forming a critical part of the aluminium formwork system that streamlines construction while ensuring high-quality results.
What Are Aluminium Formwork Panels?
Aluminium formwork panels are high-strength moulds made from aluminium alloys that shape concrete for walls, slabs, columns, and beams.
Key Features:
- Lightweight and easy to transport
- Strong and durable for repeated use
- Smooth surface finish reduces plastering costs
- Corrosion-resistant for long-term use
Technical Specifications
- Alloy Type: Aluminium 6061 / AA
- Panel Thickness: 1.5–3 mm (depending on design)
- Load Capacity: Supports standard concrete load safely
- Panel Size Options: Customizable for slab, wall, and column applications
- Fire & Weather Resistance: Suitable for Indian climatic conditions
Advantages of Aluminium Formwork Panels
| Advantage | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Lightweight | Easier handling and faster installation |
| High Strength | Supports heavy concrete safely |
| Reusable | Cost-effective up to 200 cycles |
| Precision Finish | Smooth walls and slabs with minimal finishing |
| Faster Construction | Shorter slab cycles, quicker project completion |
| Eco-Friendly | Reduces timber use and construction waste |
| Worker Safety | Designed for stable on-site installation |
How Aluminium Formwork Panels Work
- Panels are assembled on-site according to project design.
- Concrete is poured into the mould.
- After setting, panels are dismantled carefully.
- Panels are cleaned and reused for the next slab or wall.
Installation & Handling Guidelines
- Use trained staff for panel assembly and alignment.
- Ensure proper cleaning and storage after each use to maintain panel life.
- Use appropriate accessories like wedges and pins for secure installation.
- Follow safety protocols to prevent accidents on-site.
