This Technical Notebook contains information for the user as suggestions to facilitate the laying and design of the Plastbau® Metal solution. This document does not describe all laying methods, but only some of them, in that the “best” method in the construction site is subjective, and may be changed according to the physical characteristics and dimension of the elements and the safety rules to be complied with. Floors and roofs Slab Plastbau® Metal is an Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) consisting of elements 60cm wide. Each element has 2 built-in reinforcement metal profiles - interaxis 30cm -...

Model I H/K for internal plaster finishing with galvanized plaster-holder mesh installed Plastbau® Metal elements Model I shall be coated to the intrados with a stretched, hot-dip galvanized metal grid as plaster support, incorporated in the element to avoid thermal bridges. Model C H/K for internal dry finishing with metallic profiles exposed Plastbau® Metal elements Model C shall be fitted with exposed built-in metal profiles, interaxis 30cm for an easy and fast fixing of any kind of dry finishing. Model S H/K for ground floor insulated crawl space Plastbau® Metal elements Model S are manufactured...

Technical Notebook NEW MULTI-STOREY CONSTRUCTIONS CRAWL SPACE Floor and Roofs Slab Plastbau® Metal allows easy replacement of old-fashioned floors with no extra weight added to structures and foundations, installation is easy as each unit can be moved manually. AQ'JEDLCT INLET Slab Plastbau® Metal is used not only for renovations, but also for new buildings and multi-storey constructions. Thanks to its lightness, it is possible to save weight on vertical structures, on foundations and on the logistic costs of construction sites. The Plastbau® Metal elements have rebates and insulation is incorporated...

The formwork can also be mounted manually, without any plants or special means, in areas difficult to be accessed. Since it is supplied tailor-made, according to design, and very light; it does not need other materials, because it is already insulating. Its own weight on site is of around 7 kg/sqm versus around 180kg/sqm of a floor made of brick and concrete. Laying the Plastbau® Metal elements is mostly done manually and very rapidly. For instance, a 5 linear meters element is 21kg only. FLOORS IN RENOVATIONS Replacing old-fashioned floors and overlapping floors to existing top-quality ones...

The incorporated heat insulation allows to avoid adding extra insulation layers, if necessary, and to reduce the overall thickness of roofing. Insulated crawl space Roofing of a historic building INSULATED CRAWL SPACE This Plastbau® Metal model is made of EPS only and thus they are not self-supporting; they are laid as crawl space on the ground floor, placed on a sand bed or as overlapped floors to existing structures that need to be replaced. In both cases, the lightness of Plastbau® Metal is used both for natural ventilation and insulation without thermal bridges. Execution Detail

LARGE-SIZED SPAN FLOORS The use of the Plastbau® Metal in balconies allows to solve the thermal Plastbau® production technology allows to manufacture slabs units made bridge simply, rapidly, and at no extra costs. to measure, with centimeter accuracy and of any length.

Technical Notebook Laying formwork elements (ICF – Insulated Concrete Form) Plastbau® Metal formwork elements (ICF) are always supplied with the mounting scheme and the related detailed product specification list. The documents drafted indicate the slab areas which are given a letter, while each panel is given a number corresponding to its model. Plastbau® Metal formwork elements are considered span floors; if Wall Plastbau® 3 system and the Slab Plastbau® Metal are present, slab elements are placed on the internal board of the wall, to maintain insulating continuity. Elements supplied are 60cm...

- MOUNTING SCHEME In case of roofs with more than one incline or in case of triangular or trapezoidal areas, trapezoidal panels are supplied, but no corner elements with triangular shape are supplied. In this case, a small area with solid r.c. shall be created in the corners. The product specification list is drafted only after completion of the mounting scheme. The list contains - for each Model of panel (marked by a letter and a number) - the length, the quantity, and the related shape. Such product specification list, after the customer has made the checks, shall be used to produce the material....

The drafted document also contains the precautions to lay the slab elements correctly, with the indication of the slab area, the maximum center distance of temporary struts for shoring system, the section of the reinforced cross-piece (bond-beam) and any other operational detail. SHORING SYSTEM - PROPS & WOODEN BEAMS / H BEAMS Each supply of Plastbau® Metal formwork elements comes with specific execution drawings for mounting and positioning of concrete reinforcement steel. Follow this procedure: Place shoring system with props and wooden beams to the distance as indicated in the technical documents-...

POLIARMO is a panel of expanded polystyrene (EPS) of the type When being handled and laid, the Plastbau® Metal formwork elements Poliespanso 120, suitably shaped to guarantee that beam and plaster must be grasped by placing the hands into the large holes (as indicated hold on to concrete, without using mechanical anchoring. Combined with in the picture). Panels should never be handled by taking them from the the Plastbau® Metal formwork-floor, it eliminates the thermal bridges of edge (external wings): since they are not thick enough, they may break, the floor at the beam level. Upon request,...
