When selecting construction formwork, it's crucial to pay attention to various details to avoid pitfalls and save costs. Here are some specific tips to help you make an informed decision:
1. Check Surface Quality
No Carbonization: Inspect the formwork surface for carbonization, which can lead to defects in the concrete surface. A high-quality formwork should be clean and free of black spots.
No Peeling: Ensure the surface of the formwork does not have peeling, as this affects the concrete finish.
Smooth and Even: Verify that the formwork is smooth and even, as this ensures a smooth concrete surface and may eliminate the need for secondary plastering.
2. Examine Materials
Solid Core Boards: Choose formwork made from solid core boards for uniform density, high strength, and durability.
Distinct Layers: Look at the side of the formwork; clear, distinct layers indicate good quality with no voids inside.
High Turnover Rate: Opt for formwork that can be reused multiple times across projects to reduce costs.
Old Board Processing: Consider whether the formwork can be refurbished or processed as old boards after project completion to enhance cost-effectiveness.
Sufficient Adhesive: High-quality formwork uses adequate adhesive to ensure strong bonding.
Strong Bonding: Ensure the adhesive has high bonding strength, so the formwork doesn’t delaminate or peel during cutting and use, reducing waste.
Minimal Repair Needs: Good adhesive reduces the need for patching, lowering maintenance costs.
Additional Advice
Supplier Reputation: Choose reputable suppliers who offer quality assurance and after-sales support.
Cost Comparison: Consider the cost relative to the formwork’s lifespan and performance to find the best value for money.
Technical Support: Some suppliers provide technical support and training to help you use and maintain the formwork effectively.
