Concrete Floor Void Formers

Void fillers are designed to fill a void with expanded polystyrene and are left in situ.

Concrete floor void formers.

Void formers decrease the volume of concrete reducing weight while increasing the strength of concrete. The use of filcor void formers reduces the weight of the structure when left in situ or alternatively can be used for temporary applications as part of a formwork system. The void s purpose is to absorb clay movement and thus prevent the increased pressure added to the building foundation and on the concrete slab floor which is caused by clay expansion and shrinkage. Dufaylite has developed a unique clayboard void former system which is eco friendly since biodegradable and strong enough to withstand the load of.

Void formers decrease the volume of concrete reducing weight while increasing the strength. They are strong enough to support the weight of wet concrete as well as steel reinforcements. Void fillers are designed to fill a void with expanded polystyrene and are left in situ. Void formers home market sectors void formers the need to reduce dead weight in a variety of structures including precast flooring beams and motorway bridges can be achieved by using filcor expanded polystyrene to create a void in reinforced concrete construction.

Void former is a lightweight material in structural concrete in foundations beam and slabs to fill structurally non working areas and against clay heave. They come in either full form or in honeycombed form.
