Under formwork , also formwork , a sheet-like structure is made of boards or plates understood that is permanently provided for cladding constructions. This is to be distinguished from the term formwork (concrete) , which describes a mostly temporary auxiliary structure and is removed again. A cladding is made if either the substructure is to be protected or optically hidden.

Wall formwork

With wooden formwork, wooden facades can be created, half-timbered walls can be closed or massive walls can be clad. With gypsum board elements of different sizes, vibration-damped walls are created on wooden or metal substructures that have practically hardly any natural resonance and are suitable for acoustic rooms such as recording studios .

A distinction is made between:

Horizontal
Perpendicular
  • Floor-cover formwork
  • Slat formwork

Roof boarding

The roof boarding is applied to the rafters . It can be visible from the interior (exposed roof truss) or clad. In particular, formwork that is not visible is sometimes attached to gaps as economy formwork to save material.
