      Plastic formwork may be preferred over wooden formwork because :

      • Lighter weight
      • Standard sized formwork needed, so no need to custom make at site
      • Longer lifespan of well stored
      • Easy to fix and remove
      • Large projects require a large amount of shuttering making plastic formwork more economical
      • Interlocking possible in plastic shuttering
      • Can be used over 100 times
      • Similar shapes required in large housing schemes
      • Higher weather resistance
