ShutterBoard

Shutterboard is a custom-formulated composite panel designed for concrete shuttering and formwork applications. A phenolic overlay is applied to the panel, and the edges are sealed.


Contractors can provide consumers with greater quality and shorter job times because to Shutterboard’s ease of use in terms of workability.


The phenolic-based coating is treated at high temperatures and pressures to provide a smooth, water-resistant surface with outstanding releasing properties. The smooth surface eliminates the telegraphing of surface faults that are common in older materials, shortening the time it takes to polish the surface in subsequent operations like plastering.


Shutterboard thrives where a great surface finish and intricate forms are required in all sorts of formwork.

What is ShutterBoard?
ShutterBoard is a specialized MDF panel designed for concrete shuttering and formwork applications. It features a phenolic overlay that provides a smooth, water-resistant surface and releasing properties.

The board is designed to help produce clean concrete surfaces while providing the workability needed to create different formwork shapes and configurations.
ShutterBoard is primarily used for concrete formwork and shuttering. It can be used to create molds and temporary structures that hold concrete in place while it sets.

It is suitable for construction applications where a smooth concrete finish, workable panel material and resistance to moisture are important considerations.
Its construction is specifically suited to formwork requirements. The phenolic overlay provides a smooth, water-resistant working surface, while the MDF core provides a consistent panel that can be cut and machined into different shapes.

The combination makes it suitable for creating concrete forms where surface quality, workability and controlled release from the cured concrete are important.
The phenolic overlay provides the board with a smooth and water-resistant surface. It also provides releasing properties that help the board separate from the concrete after the concrete has set.

The overlay therefore plays an important role in achieving a cleaner concrete surface and protecting the underlying MDF panel during formwork use.
ShutterBoard has a water-resistant surface provided by its phenolic overlay, making it suitable for the moisture conditions associated with concrete formwork.

However, water resistance does not mean that the MDF core is completely waterproof. Proper handling, edge protection and storage are important to prevent unnecessary moisture exposure to unsealed areas of the board.
Yes. The smooth phenolic surface is designed to provide a consistent contact surface against the concrete.

This can help reduce the transfer of surface imperfections from the formwork to the concrete and contribute to a smoother finished appearance. The final concrete finish will also depend on the concrete mix, placement, vibration, formwork construction and overall installation quality.
Yes. ShutterBoard is workable and can be cut and machined into different shapes, making it suitable for formwork requiring more detailed or intricate configurations.

The panel can be processed to suit the required form, provided the design and support structure are appropriate for the concrete load and application.
ShutterBoard is designed specifically for formwork applications and its phenolic overlay helps protect the working surface from the moisture associated with concrete.

The actual durability and number of possible reuses will depend on factors such as handling, cleaning, storage, formwork design, concrete conditions and whether the board edges and surface are properly maintained. It is therefore better to follow the manufacturer’s handling and reuse recommendations rather than assume a fixed number of uses.
Timberline currently lists ShutterBoard in a 1200 × 2440 mm sheet format, with thickness options of 10 mm, 15 mm and 18 mm.

The appropriate thickness depends on the formwork design, support spacing, concrete pressure and requirements of the particular construction application.
The required thickness should be selected according to the formwork design rather than simply choosing the thickest available board.

Factors such as the size and shape of the form, spacing of supports, expected concrete pressure, panel span and method of fixing all influence the appropriate thickness. For larger or more demanding forms, the formwork should be designed and supported according to the project’s structural and construction requirements.
