BECO WALLFORM

The Building Process

WALLFORM components have tongues on the top and grooves on the bottom, arranged so that they will interlock in parallel or at right angles in a modular grid of 62.5mm.

This means the designer can realise any plan layout to dimensions which are a multiple of 62.5mm. Smaller site dimensions may be cut exactly to size within the thickness of polystyrene once the concrete is cured.

Features of the WALLFORM System

1. The tongues on the top and groves on the bottom of components are arranged to interlink and crosslink in a modular grid of 62.5mm.
2. The tongues and grooves have a positive interlock so that the elements cannot be carried away by a gust of wind.
3. The hollow core of the components is calculated to optimise economy of design and building processes.
4. All faces have grooves 2.5mm deep and 17.5mm wide in a pattern repeated every 62.5mm to eliminate thermal bridging. These grooves have a dovetail profile to provide a mechanical key for the application of plaster.
5. End pieces are inserted above and below the Wallblock cross-bridges to make a closure when forming corners, reveals and wall ends.
6. The bridges are tapered at the top and bottom to avoid trapping air during concreting.
7. The firewall endpiece is used to form the closure where this does not coincide with the bridge.

Further Features

• With the WALLFORM saw or hot wire cutter, components are easily cut to size.
  
  
• Openings at wall ends, corners and t-junctions are closed with the end pieces.
  
  
• 135° corners fit together without thermal bridging using the WALLFORM corner block.
  
  
• Curved walls in any radius and in all thicknesses are possible with WALLFORM curved blocks
  
  
• The WALLFORM lintel or roller shutters are placed over window or door openings.
  
  
• Arches are formed by cutting the opening shape and inserting a metal sheet to act as a curved shutter.
  
  
• WALLFORM stair trays are inset into the wall and concreted when the wall is filled. Risers are also available.
  
  
• The WALLFORM floor edge block eliminates thermal bridging, and can accommodate practically any type of solid floor system.
  
  
• With the WALLFORM prop and screw support system, the wall is held in the vertical position.
  
  
• Concreting with the WALLFORM nozzle and ready-mix concrete or dry concrete from a silo.
  
  
• Floors can be formed using lightweight steel beams and insulation infill panels with insitu concrete overlay.
  
  
• Forming service chases in minutes is possible with the WALLFORM hot wire cutter.
  
  
• Lightweight fixings with the isodübel plug into insulation foam; heavyweight fixings into concrete.
  
  
• Interior tiles are applied directly to the face of the WALLFORM without prior plastering.
