CONSTRUCTION
What are the Insulated Concrete Forms ?
Insulating forms are
made of polystyrene panels that are specifically designed to be assembled and
then filled with concrete. Once the concrete has set and hardened, the EPS
panels remain in place permanently and serve as insulation. Walls made in this
way are solid, monolithic and provide superior comfort thanks to their thermal
mass.
Conventional covering can subsequently be applied to both the inside and
outside.
In contrast to wood
or insulating wools, the concrete/EPS does not allow any air infiltration, mold
growth or structural movement, and offers superior sound insulation and
substantial energy savings on air conditioning and heating.
Keps;
An efficient form systems for many different types of buildings – from
single-family dwellings to multi-story units.
Insulated Concrete
Forms for construction get the following advantages :
- Environmental friendly – reduces the use of wood products.
- High energy efficiency – provides excellent insulation, reduces heating
and air conditioning costs by up to 50%.
- Soundproofing – interior spaces are well protected from outside noise.
- Rapid construction – a four-person crew can erect the structure of a
house in 2–3 days.
- Extremely solid – walls are made of monolithic reinforced concrete that
is poured onsite.
- No air infiltration, no mold growth and no allergenic substances.
- Versatile – any type of interior or exterior covering can be applied.
This is the first
and only “structural” integrated insulating concrete form system.
Entire sections of wall can be pre-assembled in the factory or at the worksite.
Because KEPS forms are so rigid, they need only a minimum of bracing due to the
vertical continuity of the webs.
SIMPLE: A single
model of EPS panel is all you need. Straight webs and corner webs make for
easy, seamless assembly.
RAPID: Pouring in
the concrete is fast and efficient using a pump.
EFFECTIVE: KEPS is a
system of structural forms that lets you rapidly erect vertical reinforced
concrete walls that are insulated, soundproof and fireproof.
