Engineers and construction experts nowadays advocate the use of concrete
insulated form. They find these forms as perfect pieces of engineering that are
of great innovative design to make construction work an ease, and that too with
the guarantee of highly sturdy and properly insulated structures. These forms
were earlier used in massive works of construction, like dams, bridges and all
such projects where readymade parts of bigger units were brought from other
place to the site, and joined together. Nowadays they are widely used
everywhere in most construction works that includes houses and apartments as
well.
The concrete insulated form are, double walled units that have
diverse uses in construction of a house’s walls, floors etc. The units have two
walls, and the space or gap between the two walls are left vacant with just a
framework of steel or iron rod structures for additional strength and support.
These units are shaped flat or angular as per the requirement. They are then
brought to the construction site, and then stacked one over the other in case
of a wall, or one beside another in case of a floor.
The stacking is done without cementing just by the dry mortar method.
The weight of the forms is enough to leave no spaces in between the forms. In
case of floors, they are arranged in such a packed way, that there is no room
for air in between. Then after arranging the forms together to make the basic
floor or wall, the gap between the interior and exterior wall of the forms, are
filled in by cement. This exact pattern of construction makes the structures
insulated.
The uses of concrete insulated form are getting popular over time, and
are highly preferred by engineers.
The top most reasons for their popularity
are:-
·
The readymade forms can be brought from a remote site
to the construction site, and makes construction hassle free.
·
They make construction work faster, as the forms just
needs to be stacked together.
·
They insulate the whole house or structure they are
built with.
The use of concrete insulated form are getting higher pertaining to
the ease of construction work, and the hard, sturdy and insulated structures
they make. Thus their prices are also getting much cheaper, making them
affordable by most contractors. The forms are real engineering marvel are
excellent work by the engineers for the engineers.
