In modern construction, aluminum formwork systems have become the preferred choice for high-rise and repetitive projects due to their efficiency, precision, and sustainability.
🔍 What is Aluminum Formwork?
Aluminum formwork is a modular system made from high-strength aluminum alloy, comprising:
Panel System: walls, slabs, beams, stairs
Support System: props and beams
Tightening System: pins, wedges, connectors
Accessories: corners, kickers, etc.
Key features include:
High Efficiency: approximately 3–4 days per floor
Lightweight: 20–25 kg/m², easy for manual handling
High Reusability: up to 200–300 times with proper use
Precision: smooth concrete finish, minimal rework
High Residual Value: over 45% after use
Eco-Friendly: no nails, no debris, fully recyclable
💰 Cost Comparison: Rent vs Purchase
For a project with over 30 floors and a duration of approximately 7 months:
Purchase: Ideal for multiple projects with repeated use, offering lower long-term costs
Rent: Suitable for one-time or short-term projects, with lower initial investment
Note that the design, production, trial assembly, and delivery of aluminum formwork typically take around 60 days. Early planning is essential to avoid increased costs and schedule delays due to design changes.
✅ Conclusion
Aluminum formwork is more than just a product; it’s a system that enhances construction efficiency and quality. Depending on the specific needs of your project, choosing to rent or buy can help you achieve the optimal balance between cost and benefit.
