Modular Aluminum Formwork (Base) | Office buildings, mid-sized projects | - Aluminum frame (6061-T6, 3mm) + plywood (18mm, 285 GSMISO 3801) - Withstands 200+ cycles (ASTM C39) - 15 kg/panel (ISO 830-1) - 43 dBA (quieter than refrigerator hum) | - Durable for repeated use - Lightweight for easy handling - Cost-effective base option | - Limited customization - Requires frequent maintenance |
Modular Aluminum Formwork (Advanced) | High-rise buildings, complex structures | - Aluminum frame (6061-T6, 4mm) + HDF (22mm, 350 GSMISO 3801) - Withstands 300+ cycles (ASTM C39) ▲ - 18 kg/panel (ISO 830-1) - 38 dBA (quieter than whisper) ▲ - ±5mm clamps (ISO 1743) ▲ | - Enhanced durability for heavy-duty use - Precision clamps reduce leakage - Ultra-quiet for urban sites | - Higher upfront cost - Requires more labor due to weight |
Industry Standard Aluminum Formwork | Commercial/industrial projects | - Aluminum alloy (6063-T5, 3.5mm) - 150+ cycles (ASTM C39) - 16 kg/panel - 48 dBA (comparable to normal conversation) | - Widely standardized - Moderate cost - Suits most mid-scale projects | - Lower durability than user’s Base - Higher noise levels |
Traditional Timber Formwork | Small residential projects | - Pine wood (18mm, 700 kg/m³) - 10–15 uses (non-reusable) - 22 kg/panel - 55 dBA (louder than office noise) | - Low initial cost - Easy on-site customization | - Non-reusable (waste-heavy) - Prone to warping/moisture damage |
Steel Formwork | Heavy industrial projects | - Carbon steel (S235JR, 5mm) - 500+ cycles (ASTM A36) - 25 kg/panel - 52 dBA (louder than office noise) | - Extremely durable for heavy loads - High load-bearing capacity | - Requires cranes for handling - High cost and maintenance |
Plastic/Polymer Formwork | Low-impact temporary structures | - HDPE (12mm) - 50+ cycles (ASTM D638) - 10 kg/panel - 40 dBA (quiet office-level noise) | - Lightweight/corrosion-resistant - Easy to clean - Low maintenance | - Lower load capacity - Not suited for heavy concrete |
