We understand the importance of traditional timber formwork in construction projects and are proud to offer high-quality timber formwork solutions to meet the needs of the construction industry. Timber has proven to be one of the most effective materials in the construction industry. Plywood which is a manufactured product of timber is used for formworks. And consists of number of veneer sheets or plies in layers.
What is Timber Formwork?
Timber formwork is a type of formwork used in construction that involves creating moulds out of timber. These moulds are used to pour concrete and create structures such as walls, columns, and beams. Timber formwork has been used in construction for centuries and is still popular today thanks to its cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and sustainability.
Types of Timber Formwork
There are different types of timber formwork available for industrial and construction applications. The timber formwork systems and materials we use offer both quality and durability, making them excellent choices for construction purposes.
At Uni-span, we offer a variety of timber formwork products including:
A fine-grained timber material that is commonly used in construction and furniture manufacturing. The reason that birch plywood makes for a great wood substitute is its resistance to bending and warping over time.

Pine shutterply, or commonly known as builders ply consists of layers of 100% pine ply to form an economical building board and is primarily used in the shuttering (temporary moulding) or forming of wet concrete until the concrete sets. Unlike that of film-faced or birch plywood, pine plywood’s appearance is of secondary importance to its application.
