NIPAP

The 'NIPAP' panel (Nidyon Single Panel) is a pre-reinforced 'stay' formwork for the construction of insulated sandwich reinforced concrete load-bearing walls in the framework of Nidyon's industrialised construction technology.‎ It allows the construction of buildings characterised by a solid, monolithic structure that is particularly suitable for areas with a high seismic risk.‎ The use of the load-bearing single panel aims to realise buildings of up to 3 storeys above ground, with high architectural quality and reduced construction time.‎ The high acoustic and thermal performance allows the achievement of the best level of energy classification.‎ It consists of a single sheet of EPS-RF 80 kPa (Self-extinguishing Sintered Expanded Polystyrene) with the dual function of "support" for the concrete at the time of casting (carried out by spraying using normal plastering machines) and of insulating coat.‎ Two structural steel meshes are provided on the two outer faces.‎ The concrete casting phase on site allows, through a single operation, the realisation of the load-bearing structures, the infill and the thermal insulation of the building.‎ Subsequently, a simple external finishing skim coat is made to complete the wall.‎ Plastering is not necessary, as the resulting sandwich wall lends itself to being directly painted.‎ The thickness of the insulation can be customised according to requirements, up to a maximum of 16 cm.‎
