Applications & benefits
Wooden molds and formwork are an essential part of many concrete projects. This technique is based on creating a solid, temporary structure that holds the liquid concrete in the desired shape until it has hardened. Wood is a traditional and sustainable material, ideal for robust, reusable formwork, especially for less complex geometries. We use EPS (expanded polystyrene) for more complex, organic shapes. The combination of both, or the choice of the most suitable technique for each project, guarantees efficient and high-quality execution.
Materials & structures
For our concrete formwork carpentry, we carefully select the appropriate types of wood and construction methods, tailored to your project:
Wood selection (FSC certified):
- High-quality wood types: We use sustainable and sturdy wood materials that make it possible to carry out different pours with the same formwork. The focus is on functionality and durability.
- Sheet materials: Plywood and other suitable sheet materials are often used for a smooth surface and dimensional stability.
Construction principles:
- Customization: Each mold or formwork is custom designed and manufactured according to your specific plans and requirements.
- Focus on reusability: Where possible, the construction is designed so that the mold can be used multiple times, which offers an economic and ecological advantage for certain project types.
- Solid connections: Essential for stability and dimensional stability during concrete pouring and curing.
- Finishing: To ensure the smoothness of the concrete piece, we finish the formwork with several layers of varnish.
Preparation & results
Proper preparation of the wooden formwork and attention to the intended result are crucial:
- Dimensional stability and precision: Our carpentry work is carried out with precision to ensure that the final concrete structure meets the specified dimensional tolerances.
- Smoothness of the concrete: The choice of wood and the finish of the formwork influence the surface quality of the poured concrete. We are happy to advise you on the options for achieving the desired aesthetic result.
- Efficient formwork removal: The formwork is designed so that, once the concrete has hardened, it can be removed efficiently and, if reusable, with minimal damage.
