Aluminum vs. Steel vs. Timber: A Full-Dimensional Comparison of Formwork Performance
Author:
When selecting construction formwork, understanding the physical properties of different materials is crucial.
Load-bearing Capacity: Aluminum formwork is typically designed to withstand loads up to $60$KN/$m^2$, significantly higher than timber, providing robust support for heavy slabs and beams.
Construction Precision: Manufactured via CNC cutting, aluminum panels offer high modularity with joint precision within $1$mm, whereas timber is prone to warping due to temperature and humidity.
Labor Intensity: With an average weight of $20$–$25$kg/$m^2$, aluminum formwork is only $1/3$ the weight of steel, greatly reducing physical strain on workers and accelerating installation.
