Shuttering made from OSB (oriented strand board).
Temporary shuttering: basic principles
The method of fixing shuttering depends on the type of structural frame in the building.
The description that follows is for the standard studwork softwood frame, which will not
be visible in the finished wall. For temporary shuttering there is no need for fixings to be
stainless steel, since they will be removed from the wall after the hempcrete is cast. In fact,
stainless steel should most definitely
not
be used in this case, as it is much too brittle to
take the repeated driving in and out: the head of the screw quickly snaps off, causing end-
less problems and delays.
