CUSTOM-MADE FORMWORKS Custom-made formworks are the most typical expression of Arbloc’s production because they highlight the multiple possibilities of processing polystyrene foam. They are built to shape designers’ ideas and to facilitate the construction of carpentry. Over forty years of expertise in working with concrete, the use of modern software, numerically controlled cutters, plastic materials as coating, and last but not least, our company knowhow allow us to propose solutions for the most complex and ambitious projects. In this section we are pleased to present a series of works...

FORMWORK FOR VAULTS Cross-vaults, barrel-vaults, sail-vaults, and tent-vaults are structures that are in great demand for the reconstruction of old edifices as well as the construction of new buildings. A vault is an architectural element with a timeless appeal that satisfies both aesthetic and structural requirements. Arbloc offers polystyrene foam formworks that are cut to size and coated with different types of materials according to the specific requirements, from brick laying to concrete casting.

Arbloc has introduced computer design in the production of formworks for stairs. This allows us to be precise in the development of 3D shapes based on drawings, the same result would be difficult to achieve with traditional wood carpentry. From the 3D model, we move to the processing of polystyrene foam using numerically controlled cutters and faithfully respecting the geometries. The resulting a formwork allows the company to obtain a uniform concrete casting on the steps and the helical plane.

Anbloc's formworks for stairs are made of coated polystyrene foam. Arbloc's cutting system enables the creation of complex shapes. Uniform concrete thickness is guaranteed both on the inside and outside of the staircase, and from bottom to top, in accordance with project dimensions. The coatings are chosen based on the needs of the construction site and the project.

setting up Formworks are produced in parts to facilitate handling in the building yard. Each element groups two or three steps on a falsework. The side supports are made upon request, otherwise we proceed with traditional wooden carpentry, consisting of vertical laths. The operation is facilitated since the polystyrene has markings at the risers. Side supports provided by Arbloc can be of two types: - Non-structural, consisting of a shaped sheet that must be supported by wooden carpentry. It is used as a guide or fair facing. - Structural, consisting of polystyrene and boards on which it is...

FORMWORKS FOR COLUMNS Formworks for columns are one of the most representative products of the company since its origins. Today, they are ideal for projects that have a complex or articulated architectural design. The polystyrene foam can withstand concrete pressure up to 120 kn/ m2, and it can be shaped in the most varied forms. The resin coating is applied by spraying, then sanded to obtain smooth fair facings. A male and female joint system allows the alignment between the two halves of the reusable formworks. Arbloc offers both reusable and single-use solutions according to the needs.

Topfinish formwork consists of two polystyrene elements that are fastened together and tightened by a traditional carpentry provided by the customer. A male and female joint system, consisting of a shaped wooden panel, allows the two halves to be aligned. The surface is coated with resin to allow for removal and reuse. Design from drawings Customized dimensions Fastening system to care of the customer Fair facing upon request Male and female joint system Reusable 6-10 times Maximum resistance to pressure 100 KN/m2 As a result of Arbloc's research and experience, Rapidoget formwork is...

monotub formwork Monotub DD formwork is made of an extruded multilayer sheet composed of polyethylene, aluminium and kraft paper. The sheet is waterproof and offers high mechanical resistance. Monotub DD is thinner than a cardboard tube therefore it is very light and quick to set up, but at the same time it is guaranteed to withstand the pressure from the concrete. Monotub DD can be used for columns that are over 6 meters high. Monotub DD is waterproof and can be stored outdoors at the building yard, and it maintains its mechanical resistance even if left in the rain. SETTING UP Monotub DD...

SPIRAL With full-height spinal. STIFF PLASTIC COATING The stiff plastic inner coating provides excellent protection against abrasions during installation and casting, and a particularly smooth and polished fair facing finish.
