The construction sector is becoming more efficient and economical with rapidly developing technology and innovative solutions. One of these solutions is blind formwork systems. Blind formwork systems are a method used in the construction of reinforced concrete structures that significantly improve the speed, cost and quality of projects. In this article, we will examine the advantages and usage areas of blind formwork systems in detail.
What is a Disposable Formwork System?
A blind formwork system is a disposable concrete formwork system made from recycled plastic. These formworks enable the creation of reinforced concrete raised slabs from 15 to 300 cm in all types of structures. Thanks to their adjustable height, they offer flexibility according to site conditions and project needs. Blind formwork systems offer a lightweight, fast, easy and economical filling solution.
Fast and Easy Installation
One of the biggest advantages of blind formwork systems is that they can be installed quickly and easily. Compared to traditional formwork methods, these systems require less labor and installation is completed in less time. Formworks are adjusted by pre-cutting the legs according to the project and bringing them to the site or cutting them on site. In this way, construction projects progress faster and time is saved.
Economic Solutions
Blind formwork systems are an effective method of reducing construction costs. Produced using recycled plastic materials, these molds reduce the use of concrete and iron. This results in cost savings of up to 25% on projects. In addition, the light weight of the molds also reduces transportation and storage costs. Requiring less storage space on site, these systems offer logistical advantages.
Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable
Blind formwork systems are an environmentally friendly construction solution. Made from recycled plastic, these molds enable the reuse of waste materials. This both contributes to the conservation of natural resources and reduces environmental impact. In addition, the reduced use of concrete and iron reduces the carbon footprint.
Wide Range of Uses
Blind formwork systems have a wide range of applications. It is widely preferred in applications such as low slab filling, landscape filling, inverted beam filling, filling between foundation shoes, car park ramp, filling around the pool, elevator/stair hall filling and sub-base construction. These systems increase the durability of structures and improve their aesthetic appearance.
