Advantages of Shutter Plywoods :

• Saving of wood: waste is confined to the small core and bark that remain after peeling away the strips
• Strength: Generally speaking, wood is more strong (about 24-25 times stronger) along the grains than across the grain. In plywood, the alternate layers are at 90° to each other. This ensures that the weight per weight, plywood is stronger than wood.
• Reduced shrinkage, swelling and warping: The balanced construction of plywood (with the grain direction of adjacent plies at 90° to each other) equalizes cross layer stress. This in turn reduces shrinkage, swelling and warping.
• Compared to solid wood, the chief advantages of plywood are that the properties along the length of the panel are more nearly equal to properties along the width
• Plywood offers greater resistance to splitting
• Plywood can be moulded into different shapes and sizes
• Improved utilization of wood - plywood can cover large areas with a minimum amount of wood fibre
• Plywood has high strength-to--weight and strength-to-thickness ratios
• The stiffness and strength of plywood is more equal in length and width than that of solid wood
• Plywood makes an excellent choice for users that call for fastners to be placed very near the edges of a panel because of its alternating grain direction that significantly reduces splitting
• Plywood comes in convenient sizes

Shuttering Plywood Offers Many Advantages:

• Low Cost & Investment in manufacturing of formworks.
• Easy Handling as compared to Steel Plates.
• Formwork of any size & shape can be easily made at site as plywood is highly workable with carpentry tools.
• Less chances of accidents as compared to steel.  Thus more safe.
• Easily available is various sizes as per shuttering requirements, sizes & designs.
• Use of new shuttering for formworks at different sites is possible.  This lowers transportation & inventory as compared to steel formworks.
