Types of slab formwork

Choosing the right slab formwork is crucial to the success of any construction project. We offer various types of formwork that differ in construction, load capacity, and application. Our specialists will help you choose the best solution, taking into account the specifics of your project, loads, and assembly requirements. We have slab formwork ideal for both small and large investments, providing comprehensive service and technical support at every stage.


Systemic slab formwork

Systemic slab formwork is characterized by a modular design, enabling quick assembly and disassembly. The formwork system consists of repeatable elements, including:

  • Slab props, beams, and heads
  • Formwork panels

Systemic formwork ensures high load capacity and stability of the entire structure. We offer Doka, Peri, and Hunnebeck formwork systems.


Frame slab formwork

Frame slab formwork is characterized by high strength and load capacity. Frame formworks are easy to assemble and disassemble, which translates into time and cost savings on the construction site.


Prop-based slab formwork

Prop-based slab formwork is a traditional solution. Proper placement of props is essential to ensure adequate load capacity and avoid slab deflection. Birch formwork plywood or lacquered and waterproof formwork panels are most commonly used for shuttering.


Slab formwork rental

Advantages of formwork rental

Renting slab formwork allows for significant financial savings by eliminating the costs of purchase, storage, and maintenance. Additionally, rental provides flexibility in choosing the right formwork system for a specific project. Formwork rental also means access to modern solutions.

 

What does the rental process look like?

The slab formwork rental process begins with an analysis of the client's needs and the selection of the appropriate formwork system. Then, a rental valuation is prepared, taking into account the number of elements, the rental period, and any additional services such as transport or assembly. Once the offer is accepted, a contract is signed, and the slab formwork is delivered to the construction site. After the work is completed, the formwork is disassembled and returned to the rental company.

Slab formwork rental prices

Slab formwork rental prices depend on many factors, such as the type of formwork, the number of elements, the rental period, and the location of the construction site. The most commonly used billing unit is the price per square meter of formwork per month.


Basic elements of slab formwork

Slab formwork consists of several basic elements that work together to create a stable structure supporting the concrete slab. These include formwork plywood, wooden beams, slab props, and heads that enable the connection of individual elements. Each of these components plays a key role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of construction work.


Formwork plywood

Formwork plywood ensures a smooth concrete surface after the formwork is removed. It is available in various thicknesses and formats.

Wooden beams

The wooden beam constitutes the basic load-bearing element of the slab formwork. They must be characterized by high strength and rigidity.

Heads and slab props

Heads and slab props are key elements of the formwork system, transferring loads and enabling stable support for the beams.


Assembly and disassembly of formwork

Slab formwork assembly procedure

Slab formwork assembly is a key stage in construction that requires precision and accuracy. The initial steps involve several important activities:

  1. Preparing the construction site, ensuring that the ground is stable and level.
  2. Placing slab props, adjusting their height to match the height of the slab.

Next, wooden beams are laid on the props, forming the base for the formwork plywood. The next step is laying the plywood, creating a smooth surface for the poured concrete. It is important that all elements are accurately connected and secured, guaranteeing the stability of the entire structure.


Safety during assembly

Safety during slab formwork assembly is a priority. Appropriate personal protective equipment must be used. It is also important that all formwork elements are in good technical condition and meet the required safety standards.


How to disassemble slab formwork?

Disassembling slab formwork is a process that should be carried out after the concrete has properly cured. The time after which formwork can be removed depends on many factors. Before starting disassembly, make sure that the concrete has reached the required strength. The disassembly process usually proceeds in the following order:

  1. Loosening the slab props,
  2. Dismantling the beams and formwork plywood.

Care must be taken not to damage the concrete or the formwork elements.


Formwork systems in construction

In modern construction, formwork systems play a key role in the process of erecting reinforced concrete structures. We offer systemic formwork characterized by a modular design, enabling quick assembly and disassembly. These systems provide high precision and work safety. Available solutions include Peri, Doka, and Hunnebeck slab formwork systems.


Peri slab formwork system

The Peri slab formwork system is one of the most recognizable and proven solutions on the market. It stands out due to its well-thought-out design, which allows for a significant reduction in slab preparation time on both small construction sites and large commercial investments. Thanks to the modular design, individual elements can be easily adapted to different slab layouts, and intuitive assembly ensures smooth work without the need for complicated tools. Investors and contractors often choose Peri due to the system's high durability, safety of use, and the possibility of multiple reuses, which translates into real savings in the long run.


Pfeifer formwork system

The Pfeifer formwork system is valued primarily for its simplicity of construction combined with impressive strength. Its elements are designed so that assembly proceeds as quickly as possible while maintaining full work safety. High load capacity allows for the realization of slabs with large spans, which makes the system a popular choice for construction companies working on projects of various scales. Pfeifer solutions are also resistant to damage and intensive use, making them perfect for companies that rent out formwork and need equipment that is maximum durable and easy to maintain.

Topec systems and their application

Topec systems are distinguished by the exceptional lightness of their elements, which is of great importance during intensive slab formwork activities. Their design enables quick assembly and disassembly, even with a limited number of workers, which increases the efficiency of the entire investment. Thanks to high mobility and the possibility of easy transport, Topec systems perform excellently on construction sites where pace and flexibility matter. Contractors also value them for their high durability, stability, and ability to adapt to different types of slabs, making them a versatile solution for both smaller construction crews and large contracting companies.
