Coffrargile

• Impervious to the weather; compared to the alternative system which is composed of disposable formwork made of biodegradable cardboard and for which outdoor storage on building sites is unsuitable due to the risk of humidity, fog or precipitation, the Coffrargile system is impervious to the weather.
• Ease of storage and handling on site.
• Resistant to termites, insects, rodents and other animals, which, can in contrast, destroy cardboard elements.
• Ecological and environmentally compliant. Compared to the alternative system of formwork made of cardboard, Coffrargile leaves no compostable organic residue that can give rise to offensive odours and provide nesting material for various animals.
• Greater solidity during the setting of the load-bearing reinforced concrete slab.
• Does not transmit stresses to the structures that it supports. Coffrargile provides a void, whose height depends on the thickness of the product, under the load-bearing slab in order to adapt to any problems with the soil, regardless of the amount of swelling anticipated.
• Easy installation due to the lightness and simplicity of interlocking elements.
• Supports the weight/passage of workers on site, avoiding the risk of accidents and injuries.

L-Plast is used for new constructions to create the slab and foundation beams with a single concrete casting; when restructuring is used to easily create reinforcement curbs for existing foundations. Furthermore, L-Plast is ideal for creating air ducts in general, such as for cold rooms, for example (if forced ventilation is necessary) or in geothermal applications where air must be blown into the under-floor cavity.

When restructuring, when the existing walls must be reinforced or when an underpinning must be created, L-Plast is a useful work tool that helps creating a new slab or reinforcement base with a single casting.
