The ALUFORT aluminium system is composed of a series of props, with falling heads, that support a structure of aluminium panels connected by means of beams with toothed profiles. All the elements that make up the system are very light and therefore allow for manual handling, for greater speed and smoothness. The closures along the perimeter are made with wooden compensations supported by Faresin ALUFORT elements such as: fixed head, combined head, falling head bracket. The wooden compensations around the pillars will instead be supported by compensation profiles.
The advantages of ALUFORT compared to traditional ones:
- the use of fewer props (in fact, a single panel covers an area of 3.375 m2.);
- the possibility of reusing panel elements and toothed beams already a few days after casting (this depends on the thickness of the slab and the consistency of the concrete) thanks to the falling head;
- the saving in laying and dismantling times;
- the possibility of using both ALU UP2 and high-capacity props.
