Plastformarna

Plastformarna is a Swedish term that translates to "plastic platforms" or "plastic formwork." It refers to a type of reusable formwork system used in concrete construction. Unlike traditional wooden formwork, plastformarna are made from durable plastic materials, typically polypropylene or polyethylene. This offers several advantages, including lighter weight, increased durability, and resistance to moisture and chemicals.

The system typically consists of modular panels that can be assembled in various configurations to create walls, columns, and slabs. These panels are often designed with interlocking mechanisms, making them quick and easy to set up and dismantle on site. The smooth surface of the plastic also contributes to a cleaner finish on the concrete, potentially reducing the need for extensive post-construction finishing work.

Plastformarna are designed for repeated use over many construction projects, which can lead to cost savings compared to single-use wooden formwork. Their lightweight nature also simplifies transportation and handling on the construction site, contributing to improved efficiency and reduced labor. While the initial investment might be higher than traditional materials, the longevity and reusability of plastformarna make them an attractive option for many construction applications. They are employed in residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects where speed, efficiency, and a high-quality concrete finish are desired.
