H20 Girder Spacing & Deflection Load Ratings
Deflection performance under fresh concrete loads according to DIN 18202 Table 3 flatness standards.
| Joist Spacing | Concrete Pressure | Calculated Deflection | Deflection Ratio | Recommended Jobsite Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 cm | 65 kN/m² | 0.3 mm | L/660 | Heavy walls & architectural concrete (SB3 mirror) |
| 25 cm | 55 kN/m² | 0.5 mm | L/500 | Standard walls, columns, and slabs |
| 30 cm | 45 kN/m² | 0.9 mm | L/333 | Wide joist spacing slab forms |
★ Minimal deflection ensures flat fair-faced architectural concrete with zero plaster remedial costs.

18 mm Polymer Formwork FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions regarding board selection, reuse cycles, technical parameters, and global delivery.
It is a widely used commercial term for polymer sheets used as concrete formwork facing. When evaluating the product, the polymer type (PP or PVC), internal cross-section, dimensions, and manufacturer instructions must be assessed together.
The polymer name alone is not a sufficient selection criterion. Internal cross-section (solid, honeycomb, or fluted), weight, test certificates, jobsite temperature ranges, and pricing must all be evaluated together.
They describe the internal cross-sectional geometry of the board. Honeycomb and cellular structures provide lightweight handling, while solid core boards offer different deflection and impact dynamics.
Thickness alone does not determine full suitability. Polymer structure, fresh concrete hydrostatic pressure, support joist spacing, and framing connections must be evaluated within a proper formwork design.
Pricing is determined by thickness (15, 18, 21 mm), cellular honeycomb engineering, order volume (sheets, pallets, full container/truckload), and delivery terms (jobsite, warehouse, or seaport).
Domestic orders can be settled via bank transfer, card, or cash. International export orders are handled via Wire Transfer (T/T) or Letter of Credit (L/C) under agreed commercial terms.
