Formwork block

Formwork block (flooded) - Wall construction system

Formwork blocks are a modern alternative to traditional wooden formwork. They are ideal for erecting structures that require high strength, such as foundation walls, cellar walls, retaining walls or fence posts.

Technical parameters:

• Height: 24 cm.
• Length: 50 cm.
• Design: Tongue-and-groove system to facilitate precise jointing of elements without concrete mortar.
• Application: Construction of monolithic concrete and reinforced concrete walls.

Key benefits:

• Time saving: Quick "dry" installation (concrete pouring follows the laying of the layers).
• Economics: No need for costly formwork.
• Stability: The internal chambers allow the use of vertical and horizontal reinforcement to guarantee the highest load-bearing capacity of the structure.

Capacity and Consumption Table

Practical tips for the contractor:

• Reinforcement: The blocks have special cut-outs for rebar, allowing the structure to be reinforced both horizontally and vertically.
• Pouring: It is advisable to pour the concrete mixture in layers of approximately 1 m2 (i.e. 4 layers of bricks at a time) to ensure that the concrete is sufficiently compacted.
• Precision: Thanks to the repeatable dimensions of 50 cm in length and 24 cm in height, calculating the material needed is straightforward and subject to minimal error.
