Shuttering is a construction technique used to create temporary molds for pouring concrete. These molds, often made from materials like wood or metal, hold the concrete in place until it hardens and gains strength. Shuttering ensures that the concrete takes the desired shape and size, which is crucial for building structures like walls, beams, and slabs. Once the concrete has cured, the shuttering is removed, leaving behind the finished structure. Proper shuttering is essential for achieving the right dimensions and surface finish. It also helps prevent issues like cracking or deformation in the concrete as it sets.
