Introduction To The Latest Aluminium Shuttering In 2025 | GETO

Aluminium Shuttering is a popular choice in construction.

What is aluminium shuttering - 2025

Aluminium shuttering is a new generation of construction formwork system after timber and steel formwork. Aluminium alloy profile is the main material, and it is made into formwork through machining, welding, and other processes. It is suitable for concrete engineering, super high-rise buildings, basements, residential buildings, utility tunnels, etc. 

Aluminium Formwork can be assembled freely according to different structures and sizes. Its design and application are an innovation of formwork technology.

Advantages of aluminium shuttering

Excellent forming effect

Aluminium shuttering uses a large, single-piece formwork to minimise joints and ensure an even surface finish. Its high precision ensures accurate alignment and structural integrity. Its high load-bearing capacity means the system remains stable under the weight of wet concrete and, crucially, it produces a high-quality concrete surface that meets clear water standards, without the need for plastering.

Aluminium shuttering System

Less construction cost

Compared with other formworks, aluminium formworks are more cost-effective. The reason is its high utilisation rate. The faster and more convenient installation process saves high labour costs, and it can also minimise the rental costs of heavy equipment such as cranes. In terms of surface treatment, it saves plastering and decoration costs. After the construction is completed, it can also be recycled.

Increase construction speed

Since the aluminium formwork system is lightweight, workers can carry and assemble it without any equipment. The assembly process is as simple and flexible as building blocks. Therefore, it can save construction time.

Aluminum is tougher and more solid after assembly

Aluminium is a material with high strength, strong bearing capacity, easy to handle and is not easy to deform. The overall frame formed after the system for forming is assembled is highly stable. During the assembly process, there is no need to call a crane or perform dangerous high-altitude operations, which greatly reduces the chance of falling accidents.

Aluminium shuttering can be recycled many times

The service life of aluminium formwork can reach an astonishing 200-300 times. Waste aluminium formwork can basically be recycled, which can reduce the generation of construction waste to a certain extent and be cost-effective.

The difference between geto aluminum formwork and its peers

Geto aluminum formwork includes a tie-rod system

By using GETO's tie rod reinforcement system, the building's moulding effect will be smoother. It is suitable for renovation projects of different structures and structural projects with wall thickness greater than 400mm.

And an efficient flat-tie system

The template with a flat tie system not only does not need drilling, but also has a better vertical pouring effect.
In particular, the simplification of installation accessories greatly reduces the installation workload and complexity of workers, which is more in line with the usage habits of overseas workers.

Geto offers global customization solutions for aluminium shuttering.

Combination of formwork systems - Skyscrapers use aluminium shuttering and self-climbing platforms

By providing an integrated design of the aluminium shuttering and the self-climbing platform system, we are able to provide an effective solution to improve the efficiency of the structural engineering progress of super-tall skyscrapers. In this case, GETO customised the design of multiple connection points between the aluminium shuttering and the self-climbing platform system, for example, we will provide additional reinforcement accessories and steel frame structures.
