Aluminum formwork technology allows time to prove the quality of a home.
Quality buildings are the foundation of a beautiful home. Whether it's the Empire State Building in Manhattan or the Donghai International Building in Shenzhen, these internationally renowned buildings all utilize aluminum formwork technology to ensure their quality.
Aluminum formwork, also known as the architectural aluminum alloy formwork system, is a modular design that is extruded using specialized equipment. It consists of three components: aluminum panels, brackets, and connectors.]
As a new formwork support system, aluminum formwork technology offers four advantages over wooden formwork: safety, security, efficiency, and environmental friendliness in terms of construction progress, quality, safety, and environmental friendliness.
Traditional wooden formwork is susceptible to moisture and deformation, resulting in honeycombing and rough surfaces on the walls, and is highly susceptible to hollowing and cracking. Funan No. 1 utilizes aluminum formwork technology to mitigate these risks at the root. Before the aluminum formwork is used, the project engineering team meticulously designs and polishes every detail to ensure the quality and smoothness of the joints. When using aluminum formwork, exterior walls can be fully concreted, significantly reducing problems such as hollowing, cracking, seepage, and peeling.
Aluminum formwork features high load-bearing capacity, minimal joints, and high precision, ensuring a smooth and flat wall surface even after removal. This not only creates a unique curved appearance and a richly textured aesthetic, but also increases the actual usable area of the house.
Traditional wooden formwork has large deviations, while aluminum formwork offers a narrow tolerance. Exterior wall putty and paint can be applied directly onto the base layer, effectively preventing hollowing and cracking. Eliminating the need for plastering further conserves wall space, allowing owners to enjoy more usable space.
Thanks to the precise positioning and high precision of aluminum formwork, structural openings have minimal tolerances, allowing some secondary components to be formed in a single step. This effectively addresses common leaks in exterior walls, doors and windows, bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas, while also enhancing the strength of the house.
Aluminum formwork is a quick-release formwork system that is simple and convenient to assemble. Formwork removal and installation take minimal time, significantly improving project progress. Project engineers stated that aluminum formwork facilitates construction schedule control, resulting in efficient and convenient construction. With thorough preparatory work and scientific management of construction time, projects can often exceed deadlines.
The aluminum formwork system utilizes all renewable materials, enabling up to 300 cycles of use. This system complies with national regulations for energy conservation, environmental protection, low carbon emissions, and emission reduction in construction projects, fully meeting green building construction standards. After formwork removal, on-site waste is reduced, contributing to a more environmentally friendly lifestyle.
