The foundation of any structure is considered one of the most important and significant elements of the house, since the durability and reliability of the structure depends on it. Therefore, the process of its construction must be approached very responsibly, and also quite a lot of money is usually spent on this procedure.
There are many varieties of the foundation that differ in the way of creating, materials that are used during operation, as well as characteristics and other nuances. However, for almost any option, there is a need to mount the formwork, which after installation is poured with concrete solution. This design should be strong and reliable, because only in this case it will be able to withstand significant loads from the mixture without destroying and without losing its parameters.
Positive parameters of formwork
It is initially important to know that this design is created from individual blocks or parts that are reliably and qualitatively fixed with each other, as a result of which a single element is obtained directly where the foundation of the structure will be located in the future.
Formwork can be formed from completely different materials. Most often for this purpose, polystyrene foam blocks are used. The design of this material will have the following advantages:
small mass;
good thermal insulation parameters;
Inside the formwork, special cavities are formed, which are filled with reinforcement, which leads to the formation of a structure that differs in high reliability and rigidity;
Inside each block, there are special transverse jumpers, which do not allow to deform or destroy the structures in the process of its pouring with a concrete solution;
It is very simple to make such a formwork even without experience in this field of activity;
The process of construction will not take much time;
excellent soundproofing characteristics;
Minor financial costs for creating.
Technology for building a house from non -removable formwork
The specificity of the installation of non -removable formwork from polystyrene foam
This process is considered quite simple, so there is no need to have any specific skills or have experience. Blocks of polystyrene foam are produced in exactly the same way, and all geometric parameters perfectly coincide in them. Additionally, in the production process, they are equipped with special locking joints, which provide a reliable and high -quality connection of individual elements without the need to spend a large amount of money on various building mixtures or solutions.
The process of creating formwork itself can be divided into the following stages:
determination of the location of the future structure, as well as the conduct of various calculations, on the basis of which you can determine the size and features of the base;
The selected territory is completely cleaned from various living stands and other unnecessary elements, and the upper soil layer is removed;
The laying of polystyrene blocks begins, which should be located at a certain distance from each other, and they should also be at all angles of the future structure;
Blocks are fixed with each other not only by special locks that they are equipped with the manufacturing process, but can also be used by various construction mixtures to increase the strength and durability of the compounds;
The resulting structure is reinforced, for which each block is filled with high -quality and fitting in size and parameters;
direct filling of the receipt of the receipt with concrete solution, and this work should be carried out carefully and carefully, since it is important to prevent too large loads on the elements of formwork, from which it can be deformed or collapsed;
Proper care of the obtained basis, and after its solidification and shrinkage, you can begin construction work aimed at obtaining a high -quality and durable structure.
The process of erecting non -removable formwork using blocks from polystyrene blocks is considered quite simple and understood. Therefore, special difficulties should not arise.
Some disadvantages of this design
Although this structure has the ease of formation and many positive properties, it still has some negative points in it. These include:
Polistyrol foam is a specific material that does not withstand the constant effect of ultraviolet radiation, which can begin to crumble, so it is prohibited for a long time in the open air;
To ensure uniform distribution of the construction mixture within each block, it is necessary to have a specialized construction equipment to which the vibrator is available;
Since the material should not contact moisture during operation, it is important to take care of the formation of the waterproofing layer;
After the destruction of the structure and base, it will be impossible to use the secondary building material;
The cost of polystyrene blocks is considered quite high, if you really buy quality material, and if you order work from specialists, you will have to spend a lot of money.
Thus, the construction of non -removable formwork from polystyrene foam has both pluses and cons of. It is important to decide which characteristics of this element are the most important and suitable, and then proceed to the process of its creation.
