IGLU’® SMART is the disposable formwork’s innovative system for the creation of ventilated cavities with more flexibility and simplicity and a faster installation speed.

Specialized in the production of recycled plastic products for the construction industry, Daliform Group has signed numerous innovations over the years that have improved the way of building.
Among these Iglu’® Smart, a disposable eco-friendly formwork made of recycled plastic, ideal for covering large surface areas in considerably shorter time frames than with normal formworks.
Iglu’® Smart’s unique, innovative configuration and special interlocking system with adjustable notches in its two appendages, allow for easy adjustment of the size of the formwork’s plan in both directions, at right angles to each other, horizontally and vertically.
In addition to the standard dimensions 50 x 50 cm, 52.5 x 52.5 cm, and 55 x 55 cm, with Iglu’® Smart it is also possible to obtain non-standard dimensions such as 55 x 52.5 cm, 52.5 x 50 cm, 50 x 55 cm, or 50 x 52.5 cm.
Simply by adjusting the position of the overlap between the formworks, i.e. by shifting the formwork using the pre-set notches, without using additional accessories such as extension systems, for example.

The Daliform Group Company in Gorgo al Monticano (TV), has always been concerned with providing innovative solutions in the construction field that are oriented towards environmental protection and energy saving.
The Iglu’® and Atlantis Systems, based on disposable formworks in 100% recycled polypropylene, originally made to create ventilated crawl spaces and cavities, over time have found more and more uses in other fields of application, like: rainwater collection tanks, bike paths, green houses, anti-root applications, green roofs, geothermic and heat recovery.
During the last years these products have had an important success on architects and landscapers with their use on green roofs in urban areas.
Nowadays urban spaces must be revised: the citizen who lives in large cities like Milan, Paris, London, Tokyo and New York feels the need for greenery, shuns asphalt and concrete.
Not surprisingly, and increasingly, both in the interventions of new urbanization and urban redevelopment, the best architects of the moment foresee that the ground level above the basements are used as greenery with trees, plants, bushes, lawns and, of course, equipped with play areas for children. These areas are increasingly thought of as a real simulation of natural environments, with slopes, hills and changes in altitude.
The most important problem during the realization of these compositions is to create different levels without excessively burdening the load-bearing structures.
Thanks to the Iglu® and Atlantis System products, it is possible to create spaces at different levels quickly, easily and absolutely economically by configuring the space in a flexible and dynamic way: a simple concrete completion casting, reinforced with a very light electro-welded mesh, will provide you with a support that, covered with a layer of a few tens of cm of fill soil, will transform what was previously a cemented space into a real green urban area.
Among the many references of Daliform Group products, one stands out in particular in the context of a social housing complex’s redevelopment in the city of Boulogne Billancourt (Paris), subject to massive redevelopment by great architects such as Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano, Herzong & De Meuron to name a few.
Daliform Group is the point of reference in the construction industry for those who design, distribute and construct.
Is an innovative company that spreads the culture of excellence by offering the best products and best solutions for the environments in which we live, work and enjoy ourselves, that aspires to help everyone working in construction to do it better, more efficiently and more attractively, improving the quality of life.

Green architecture against the social degradation. A trend which is spreading day by day not only like a concept of the residential and private building’s furniture, but also to redevelop some degraded suburbs’ areas with innovative solutions from the technological point of view.
This is the case of a social housing complex in the city of Boulogne Billancourt (France), once inhabited by the workers of the Citröen, now incorporated by Paris itself and subject to massive redevelopment by great architects such as Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano, Herzong & De Meuron to name a few. What was once a popular area is now turning into one of the most modern and chic districts of the “Ville Lumière”. The intervention concerned two buildings built in the 1960s, in a state of decay and inhabited by socially difficult people, to whom it was decided to make the living space more pleasant and livable: the separation surface between the two buildings, to cover the garages, it was then transformed into a green area.
The main problem that arises in the realization of these compositions is to create the different levels without excessively burdening the load-bearing structures. Of course, the existing structure had limited possibilities to be further loaded and therefore the use of Iglu’® Green Roof and the Atlantis System was the ideal solution to the problem. In fact, thanks to the Iglu’® Green Roof and the Atlantis System it was possible to create spaces at different levels quickly, easily and absolutely economically.
Daliform Group has always been concerned with providing innovative solutions in the construction field that are oriented towards environmental protection and energy saving. The Iglu’® and Atlantis systems, based on disposable formworks in 100% recycled polypropylene, initially created to create ventilated crawl spaces and cavities, over time have found increasingly widespread use in other fields of application such as: recovery and collection of rainwater, cycle paths and greenhouses, anti-root applications, roofs and hanging gardens, geothermal energy and heat recovery.

Iglu’® is the leading market product, created and patented for the realization of sanitary spaces, ventilated cavities, under-floor cavities, ventilated floors and roofs during the construction and renovation of civil and industrial buildings.

The ventilated cavity, realized with Iglu’®, is an effective solution to the problem of rising moisture on the flooring, because the under-floor cavity’s ventilation placed under the floor, dries it naturally. Thanks to the cavity, the building can breathe, by constantly eliminating the moisture: this technique was born already at the time of the ancient Romans.
To guarantee an appropriate ventilation, both in renovation and in new buildings, the connection of the ventilated cavity to the outside with simple pipes is necessary.
As a matter of fact, to obtain a natural «chimney effect» is necessary to position the inlet holes on the northern side at a height just off the ground and the outlet holes on the southern side at a higher point (preferably up to the roof), being careful to connect the various rooms of the foundation grid together so that the entire under-floor cavity is connected. The ducts positioned inside the wall with southern exposure will heat up, causing an upward motion intaking air from the under-floor cavity.

A ventilated under-floor cavity created with Iglu’® represents an effective, quick and economic solution that makes it possible to send humidity and dangerous Radon gas to the atmosphere, which is beneficial to our health.
