On paper, most shuttering boards seem perfect. They promise strength, smooth finish, and high repetition. But construction sites aren’t paper. They’re hot, wet, dusty, and unpredictable. And that’s where most boards start failing.
Because they’re not made for what actually happens on-site.
It’s Not the Mix. Not the Labour. It’s the Board.
Plywood soaks up water and starts swelling. Cheap plastic bends in the sun. Even stronger boards wear out faster than promised. But no one sees it coming—until the slab looks wrong.
- Boards bend slightly.
- Edges chip.
- Surface starts showing marks.
- Workers get blamed.
But the problem started with the board.
Why Boards Fail in Real-Life Conditions ?
Let’s look at what really happens on site:
What Happens on Site | What It Does to the Board |
Rain, moisture from curing | Plywood swells, weakens |
Harsh sun and heat | Plastic gets soft, starts bending |
Fast reuse between pours | Surface heats up, loses shape |
Rough handling and stacking | Corners break, edges chip |
The result? Boards don’t last as long as they should. You end up spending more on replacements and fixing slab issues.
What a Good Board Should Actually Handle?
A strong board isn’t just about how thick or strong it looks. It should:
- Stay flat even in heat or water
- Handle weight and vibration without bending
- Keep the slab surface clean and smooth
- Be easy to move, stack, and reuse
In short: It should work on your site, not just in testing labs.
The Real Issue
Slabs look perfect—until they don’t. By the time you spot the problem, concrete’s already set.
That’s why choosing the right shuttering board isn’t just about specs. It’s about knowing what your site will throw at it—and picking a board that can take the hit.
Because if your board can’t handle real site conditions, it’s just another problem waiting to show up in the finish.
So What’s the Alternative?
If most boards fail because they’re not made for actual site stress…
Then what does a board look like when it is?
That’s where PAC® Shuttering Board fits in:
- Built from industrial-grade composite
- Holds form after 100+ pours
- Doesn’t swell, crack or deform — even in heat or water
- Keeps your finish consistent across the entire site
