Floor Void Former

Filcor expanded polystyrene is commonly used as a lightweight material for forming openings and voids within concrete structures.

Floor void former.

Used as sheet pile infill panels and secant guide wall and for all void former applications. 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. One of the larger projects our void formers were used on was the thames tideway project in. They come in either full form or in honeycombed form.

Bildavoid s patented supavoid is unlike any other void former on the market. Filavoid has an expanded paper honeycomb core with face sheets top bottom. They are strong enough to support the weight of wet concrete as well as steel reinforcements. The use of various grades of eps void formers reduces the weight of the structure when left in position or alternatively can be used for temporary applications or part of a permanent structure.

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 fillers are designed to fill a void with expanded polystyrene and are left in situ. Void former is a lightweight material in structural concrete in foundations beam and slabs to fill structurally non working areas and against clay heave.

Void formers decrease the volume of concrete reducing weight while increasing the strength of concrete. Kore eps can be used as both void formers and void fillers. Polystyrene is a closed cell light weight rigid cellular plastics material. Kore void formers have been used in a variety of civil engineering applications as well as in bridges shopping centre foundations and motorways including passages of the m50 in dublin and the foundation of the red luas line.

Home market sectors void formers. Construction and ground works eps expanded polystyrene is commonly used as a lightweight material for forming voids openings within concrete structures. Concrete void forming systems. Fillmaster lightweight fill and void former 1 compression performance reduces pressure on existing structures and poor soil.

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.
