The innovative EPS TWINPOR™ system that improves seismic resistance and increases energy class
Thanks to the Sismiko system, it is possible to simultaneously improve the seismic resistance of a building and increase its energy class. The system of spacers and panels in EPS Twinpor™ is directly installed on the masonry, acting as a formwork for a small layer of reinforced concrete attached to the wall, improving its seismic behavior. The insulating panels also contain the concrete pour and remain in place, acting as thermal insulation.
The Sismiko system allows for external intervention on the building, without affecting the interior. It also offers the possibility of incorporating new systems that replace existing ones, minimizing internal demolition work.
Renovation with the Sismiko system allows work to be carried out only on the exterior of the building, without disrupting normal activities inside. It is also possible to incorporate new systems into the existing one, reducing the need for internal demolition operations.
The ICF system is based on elements that create a polystyrene formwork designed to receive the concrete pour and allow it to cure. This ICF technology enables the construction of earthquake-resistant buildings that are thermally and acoustically insulated, ensuring high living comfort with a healthy environment free from moisture or mold. The use of this system can lead to important certifications for the building, such as: Class A, GOLD CASACLIMA House, NZEB Buildings, Passive House.
The simplicity, practicality, and speed of the ICF formwork operations, without the need for specialized labor or special equipment, reduce construction costs and time.
Advantages
⦁ Disruption during work is minimized, and the building remains usable
⦁ Interiors are not affected, and the intervention takes place only on the exterior of the building
⦁ The system is adaptable to any reinforcement and insulation needs
⦁ No new foundation is required
⦁ Easily shaped and adjustable on-site
⦁ Applicable to most types of existing masonry
