Slab Formwork For Concrete Floor Casting
Slab formwork, also known as floor formwork, is a modular temporary concrete formwork designed for on-site casting of building floor slabs. It holds the wet concrete and ensures the shape and thickness of the slab. The formwork can be removed until the concrete get dry.
Our complete formwork system covers a full range of construction formwork products, including slab panels, wall formwork, column formwork, beam formwork, as well as supporting accessories such as beams, adjustable steel props, tripods, forkheads, waler plates and connecting clips.
These concrete formwork solutions are widely used in high-rise commercial buildings, residential apartments, factories, basements and garage roof slabs.
All of our steel formwork adopts modular assembly. It is easy to assemble and disassemble, with good load capacity and high reusability, also reducing construction costs. The concrete surface after casting is smooth ，and it can match most standard shoring systems on the market.
We support custom sizes and provide professional technical support for all kinds of concrete formwork projects.
Types of Slab Formwork
Modular Steel Slab Formwork
Modular steel slab formwork uses pre-made panels for quick setup. It holds concrete safely when pouring floors. You can reuse it many times, and it leaves a smooth concrete finish. It works with adjustable steel props, tripods and forkheads and other formwork accessories. It fits residential buildings, commercial high-rises and factory floor projects.
Slab Edge Formwork
Slab edge formwork is the side mould for floor slabs. It keeps the slab thickness fixed and stops concrete from spilling out while pouring. Strong steel panels make clean straight edges. It is easy to take off and reuse in the whole steel formwork system. People often use it for basement slabs, garage roof slabs and other concrete slab construction projects.
Early Stripping Slab Formwork
Early stripping slab formwork lets workers remove panels quickly while keeping support props in place. It works together with the shoring system, speeds up construction work and reduces the quantity of formwork panels you need. It works well for large repeated slab jobs and helps lower costs on site with this modular formwork solution.
How Slab Formwork Works
Slab formwork makes a safe temporary system. It holds wet concrete when you pour floors. First, put adjustable steel props on the ground. Use tripods to hold props straight. Next, fix forkheads on the top of props. Put steel slab panels on the support frame. Join panels tightly and check every joint to stop concrete leaks. For early stripping work, you can take off panels once concrete gets hard enough. Leave props there to carry weight. This full shoring and formwork system works well with other formwork accessories on site.
Advantages of Slab Formwork vs Other Formwork
Steel slab formwork works better than wooden and aluminum formwork on many building projects.
Compared with timber formwork
Steel panels works longer. You can reuse them hundreds of times. They keep straight edges and will not swell or bend when the panel touching water.
Compared with aluminum slab formwork
Our steel formwork costs less . You can get custom sizes easily. It holds heavy concrete load.
This modular formwork choice helps contractors and formwork rental companies balance good build quality and project budgets.
