PLASTBAU® METAL FLOORS & ROOFS SLAB ICF - Insulated Concrete Form PRODUCT CATALOG

PLASTBAU® METAL PANEL SECTIONS ,800 PLASTBAU® METAL PANEL VARIABLE GEOMETRY SECTIONS ARE MEANT TO FIT TO THE NEEDED SPAN, INSULATION AND LOAD CAPACITY OF THE FLOORS SLAB - SELF SUPPORTING CAPACITY UP TO 2 MT WILL ALLOW THE WORKERS LAYING STEEL REINFORCEMENT AND CONCRETE CASTING. Its high performances depend on the perfect collaboration between EPS and galvanized metal profiles, properly drilled and shaped. Such a perfect mix between polistyrene mass and internal metal inserts allow panels, even though very light (Kg/m2 7), to become self-supporting and rigid enough to support initial loads, such...

NEW BUILDINGS, LIGHT WEIGHT, MEANS SAFETY WHEN WORKING If compared to a floor in clay/concrete mix or The Plastbau® Metal panel laying, whose to plates, with the same thickness, the weight weight accounts for about 7Kg/m2, is always manual and very fast. Infact a 5 linear meter consistent saving of iron, concrete and labour. panel, for a 3 m2 floor slab, simply weights 21 Repeated saving can be extended to the kg, thus easily and safely handled within the structure and building foundations too. building yard. RESTORATION OF OLD & ANCIENT BUILDINGS It is possible to replace old-fashioned floors...

In the areas declared seismic, Plastbau® Metal floors slabs are highly recommended as they offer a consistently lower weight than traditional floors slabs. It is possible then to horizontally use the SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR lightest possible floors with the same resistance, keeping in mind that the seismic intensity is proportional to the weight of the single building units. The use of such a floors slab system allows cutting the weight which is horizontally transmitted to the vertical structures, by 25%. In the case of recovery of earthquake damaged buildings, such a value is extremely important and...

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS Advantages offered by expanded polystyrene (EPS) in terms of environmental impact are extremely important when the material life cycle is considered, from the raw material extraction to production, transportation, use up to recycling and disposal. When you have to replace the original insulations with EPS, it first of all means reduce digging the ground without removing non removable resources such as clay and quarry inert components. It also means cutting energy consumptions, and therefore pollution as well. In fact to manufacture 1 cubic meter of floor insulation, 196,000...

It reduces weights on walls and foundations It reduces horizontal weights in case of an earthquake No thermal bridge STRUCTURAL ENGINEER AND DESIGNER It is possible to design in a single package: the floor statics, REI, the thermal and sound proofing It allows to build floors with a large grid and big spans It allows to fit heating in the flooring while improving any performance It is available in three models, to lay plaster, false ceilings and ventilated / insulated crawl spaces It cuts costs thanks to its versatility It eases laying in refurbishing BUILDING COMPANY Manually fit with no means...

"We aim at producing building materials for more ecologically sustainable buildings, leading to a more consistent energy saving, as to provide for a better comfort to the building dwellers, with a higher laying safety and speed for the building constructors; higher certainty of the final result for the designer, engineer, construction company and final user."
