CONCREWALL

Is a technology and equipment by Schnell Homes – Concrewall, Italy.

Concrewall is a tried & tested system which is insulated, Fire Resistant, Earthquake Resistant, Acoustic, Durable, Light weight and economical for residential, commercial and institutional buildings with theoretically unlimited number of stories. The system is composed of a factory produced corrugated panel of expandable polystyrene covered both sides by an Electro welded zinc coated high-strength square mesh, which In turn are connected by Connectors realizing a 3 dimensional hyper static reinforcement steel. After erection the panel surface becomes a Light Weight Monolithic Structure since all the joints are covered with same wire mesh.

The panels are erected on site and in situ sprayed concrete (shear-walls, floors and stairs) and shotcreted (load bearing and partition walls) to construct a complete building

The Idea is that the panel, completed with shotcrete becomes the structural element of the construction. The profile of the polystyrene panel and the vertical wires of the mesh mats form micro-pillers of reinforced concrete, distributing the weight of the structure around the entire perimeter.

The system resolves difficulties of construction companies and developers; typically a ground plus 3 level building can be made with panels (without RCC columns and beams).

Concrewall is not just a product but it’s a system by itself.
