Why Choose Light Weight Steel Formwork? Understanding the Value
While the initial price may be higher than plastic formwork for concrete walls , steel formwork delivers exceptional long-term value through its core advantages:
Durability & High Reuse: Steel formwork can be reused hundreds of times with proper care, offering the lowest cost-per-use over its lifespan compared to disposable or limited-use systems.
Superior Concrete Finish: It provides exceptionally smooth, precise concrete surfaces, often minimizing the need for costly finishing work.
Strength & Safety: Its high load-bearing capacity and rigidity ensure safety during concrete pours and reduce the risk of deflection or failure.
Efficiency: Large panels speed up installation and stripping. Its consistent dimensions enhance on-site accuracy and productivity.
However, the upfront price is higher. On average, steel formwork costs 70-80 usd per square metre, depending on thickness, system type (modular vs. custom).But our Zhuniu light steel formwork costs approximately 50-60 usd per square meter, and it is lighter in weight, stronger, and easier for manual handling, with a higher turnover rate.
Always request detailed quotes based on your project scope—and factor in reuse potential when comparing total lifecycle costs.
