Single Centering Sheet

A Centering Sheet is a formwork accessory used in construction to support freshly poured concrete in slabs, beams, and other horizontal structures until it sets and gains strength. Made from mild steel, these sheets provide a stable and reusable platform, ensuring uniform thickness and smooth surfaces in concrete work. They are essential components in slab shuttering systems and help maintain structural integrity during the casting process.
