PLASTBAU® 3 Wall - Anteprix Consulting

Green, Insulating and Affordable

The insulating formwork PLASTBAU 3 is a pre-built, rigid, easy-to-install building element. The two high-density expanded polystyrene sheets, which contain the concrete casting, remain in place as a high-performance thermal insulation layer. The final result is an insulating, reinforced concrete monolithic structure.

A standard formwork of 120 cm width and 300 cm height weighs only 39 kg. It can be easily handled and installed without lifting equipment, directly by hand. One of the major advantages, in addition to energy saving and anti-seismic resistance, is the speed of installation, which from first handling to concrete casting can vary between 15 and 20 minutes per m² of wall.

Depending on the project, EPS panels can have different thicknesses to ensure a greater level of thermal insulation. The internal panel is generally 5 cm thick, while the external one can range from 5 to 25 cm. The PLASTBAU 3 system is a complete construction system designed to facilitate installation and the entire construction phase, reducing construction times by 40% and costs by 30% compared to traditional systems.

It is extremely efficient for the construction of zero energy buildings as indicated by PASSIVE HOUSE or MINERGIE HOUSE, in line with Directive 2010/31/EC, which states that all new buildings should be nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB).

Key Benefits

Green Building

The PLASTBAU 3 system takes advantage of the EPS insulating coefficient, allowing the construction of zero energy buildings that can perfectly adapt to all climates.

Affordable

It is an affordable construction method. By saving on construction time, tools, and product costs, total construction costs can decrease by up to 40%.

Resistant

Thanks to its iron reinforcement and the high quality of the EPS, PLASTBAU 3 achieves anti-seismic level 1 and resistance to extreme climate conditions.

Fast

With its simple formwork laying and concrete casting system, PLASTBAU 3 Wall allows construction time to be reduced by up to 40%.
