ARGISOL® formwork elements made of Neopor®

Thanks to the smallest grid dimensions of only 2.5 cm in length and width and 5 cm in height, even already planned objects can be implemented with ARGISOL®.

ARGISOL standard element made of Neopor®:

  • Very good building physics properties due to different insulation thicknesses inside and outside.

  • The dovetail-shaped interior ensures that the concrete is positively connected to the panels.

  • Studs at small intervals guarantee a flush and precise fit.

  • The metal bars are firmly foamed into the rigid foam panels.

  • Sealing ribs prevent the leakage of cement milk and thus the risk of thermal bridges.

  • Insertable separator or end piece

  • The dividing grooves allow easy cutting of the building blocks in 2.5 cm grids.

  • Spacers for reinforcing bars.

In addition to the standard elements, corner, angle and T-elements enable a closed concrete core without Neopor interruption for all load-bearing wall connections – for almost unlimited planning freedom.
