Enhance Work Efficiency and Reduce Costs with the Combination of Wooden and System Formwork

At Kitano Panels, we enhance the reusability of wooden formwork by using thick-gauge nails. Wooden formwork is lightweight, easy to handle, and ideal for curved concrete structures due to its flexibility in processing. System formwork, on the other hand, is easy to assemble with clips and pins, requiring less craftsmanship than wooden formwork.

Combining wooden and system formwork offers a corrosion-resistant, highly reusable solution that improves work efficiency and reduces costs.
