What Is The Difference Between Aluminum Formwork And Traditional Formwork?

Aug 16, 2022


At present, the common raw materials of building formwork in our life are mainly: wood formwork, steel formwork, plastic formwork, aluminum formwork, new composite formwork, etc. And each template has its advantages and disadvantages.

Raw materials:

1. Wooden formwork: relatively light in weight, light in construction, low in cost, but not durable, not environmentally friendly, and very low in reuse rate.

2. Steel formwork: It has high strength and can be reused, but the weight is relatively heavy, the construction is relatively troublesome, and the cost is extremely high.

3. Plastic formwork: waterproof, lower cost, more durable than wooden formwork, but not strong enough, prone to quality problems

4. Aluminum alloy formwork: Aluminum alloy has high strength and is not easy to rust. It can be recycled many times. It has a long mission and high recycling rate. It is slightly heavier than wood formwork but much lighter than steel formwork, and it is easy to construct. But the cost is relatively high.


What is the difference between aluminum formwork and other formwork?

Aluminum formwork not only conforms to my country's current green construction policy, but also avoids the limitations of traditional formwork, which is why aluminum formwork is becoming more and more widespread in my country. At present, aluminum formwork has been favored by the majority of builders.


In terms of cost, although the aluminum formwork is made of aluminum alloy, the average cost is much cheaper than that of steel. Due to its excellent physical and chemical properties, it can cope with various adverse environments, so its life is very impressive. And it can be recycled and reused, and it meets the requirements of construction projects: energy saving, environmental protection, low carbon, and emission reduction.



Does a high construction cost not mean a high cost?

Because the unit price of aluminum alloy is relatively high, many people mistakenly think that this will lead to high cost, but aluminum alloy can be recycled. If enterprises use aluminum formwork for operations, a set of formwork can be reused for multiple times, which greatly reduces the cost of formwork.


Although aluminum formwork will increase a certain explicit cost, in today's increasingly fast development progress and higher and higher quality requirements, aluminum formwork has received more and more attention from housing companies.


At present, the proportion of aluminum formwork in the entire building formwork field is still very low. The advantages of aluminum formwork in the comprehensive indicators of energy saving, environmental protection, superior performance, and low comprehensive cost have not been widely recognized. As long as the relevant publicity and promotion are in place, the Market has great potential.
