Shuttering is an integral aspect of the building construction industry as it is used for moulding concrete structures while in the setting phase. The type of shuttering material selected has a dire impact when looking at the quality, efficiency as well as costs. Wooden shuttering was used for quite some time, however, the use of MS (Mild Steel) shuttering plates has become a norm in contemporary construction projects. So the question lies, why have MS shuttering plates taken over the spotlight as compared to wooden shuttering? Let's explore the reasons behind the growing preference for MS shuttering plates and why they offer superior advantages over their wooden counterparts. What are MS Shuttering Plates and Wooden Shuttering? MS Shuttering Plates MS shuttering plates are ideal for holding and shaping freshly poured concrete into a desired shape during construction due to their configuration and their construction’s materials which is mild steel.

When it is time for your construction project to select formwork, a difficult decision is to be made. Two commonly used types of formworks are Acro Spans and traditional shuttering. Acro spans and traditional shutters are systems that are key in providing temporary support when slabs, beams, and columns are being constructed. However, the pros and cons do come with these systems. So, Acro Spans vs. Traditional Shuttering: Which one should you opt for? Let’s examine the factors that differentiate the two, to ease your decision for the next project. What are Acro Spans? Acro Spans are a type of adjustable formwork that is used on construction projects for slab casting. They consist of span beams props and brackets that need to be temporarily used while the concrete dries. They are efficient, easy to install, and adaptable to the job. They can work with various construction projects while being flexible with the load-bearing requirements. Like most construction methods, these Acro Spans h...
