Efficient Construction: Lightweight disposable formworks shaping the future of concrete structures."
Disposable Formworks are concrete shaping structures made of recycled plastic that is used only once. They are also called void formers, permanent formworks or single-use formworks. They create reinforced concrete raised floors up to 300 cm, thus providing a light, fast, easy and economical filling in any structure.
Disposable formworks offer several advantages:
Cost-Efficiency Since they are usually made from recycled plastic, disposable formworks can be a cost-effective option for concrete construction.
• Time-Saving
These formworks are quick and easy to install, helping to speed up the construction process compared to traditional formworks that require more time to set up and dismantle.
• Reduced Labor
The ease of installation and removal of disposable formworks can lead to reduced labor requirements, further contributing to time and cost savings.
• Lightweight
Being made from plastic, they are lightweight, making them easier to handle and maneuver on the construction site.
• Reusable Materials
Some disposable formworks are designed to be partially reusable, allowing them to be used for multiple projects to some extent.
• Versatility
These formworks can be used to create various concrete structures, including raised floors and other architectural elements.
• Minimal Waste
Since they are used only once, there is minimal waste generated compared to traditional formworks that might need more materials and resources for
repeated use.
• Eco-Friendly
Many disposable formworks are made from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability efforts in construction.
• Reduced Formwork Removal With disposable formworks, there's no need to remove the formwork separately from the concrete, as the formwork becomes an integral part of the structure.
