Insulated concrete formwork by Formcraft NSW
Building technology has seen rapid advances in recent times, with
builders and home owners looking for more efficient ways of building homes.
Formcraft manufactures insulated concrete formwork which offers a strong, fast
track, and comfortable wall system solution.
Formcraft was born from a West Australian construction company that specialised
mainly in more traditional construction methods like limestone block work and
feature masonry. The company successfully focused on residential and commercial
projects using the tried and tested methods that have been used for centuries.
These methods are often seen as antiquated and very labour intensive.
In Western Australia, as in many other parts of the world there is a growing
emphasis on environmental sustainability, immediacy and minimizing energy
consumption. These are all values that we wanted to incorporate in an innovative
construction system using energy efficient materials and having broad market appeal.
Formcraft was established to further explore these principals.
Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) has been used in Europe and North America for
many years and has proved to be an extremely solid, cost-effective and fast-track
method of construction. A variety of structures from retaining walls and residential
houses to mining camps and multi-unit developments are increasingly being built using
these methods. The Formcraft wall system uses high density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
panels as a form to accept steel reinforced concrete. Once the concrete hardens, you
have a wall system that outperforms traditional construction methods.
In short, the Formcraft building system combines the insulating effectiveness of the
polymer panels with the structural integrity of concrete.
