GRP Weffle & Trough moulds
Fiberglass /GRP Waffle and Trough Moulds
Cast insitu, ribbed concrete floors are an efficient design solution for concrete frame construction; benefits of using this technique include longer floor spans and reduced weight of the structure.
“Al Jassra” trough and waffle moulds can be used for the construction of both one-way and two-way spanning ribbed floors and are cost effective formwork systems designed for multiple uses. Depending on the choice of materials they can also provide a consistent and high quality finish for exposed soffits.
Waffle Moulds:
Waffle Moulds are a reusable formwork system for constructing two-way spanning ribbed concrete floors, which can achieve greater spans and use less concrete when compared to traditional flat slabs. The waffle moulds are generally in small square form and offers designers a comprehensive choice of fiberglass waffle moulds for constructing two-way spanning floors for a very high loadbearing. By means of waffle design concrete slabs easily bears its own load and other dinamic loads. each Waffle Mould is made to suit the individual requirements of the project and can be re-used multiple times. When struck, the Waffle Mould, subject to specification, can achieve a good quality finish for exposed applications.
Waffle mould with the main material of fiberglass has an excellent design elasticity for either small (ex. 70cm) or big (ex. 270cm ) dimensions.
Trough Moulds
Trough Moulds are a reusable formwork system for constructing one-way spanning ribbed concrete floors, which can achieve greater spans and use less concrete when compared to traditional flat slabs. Traditionally manufactured from GRP/Fiberglass with an external smooth gelcoat skin surface, each Trough Mould is made to suit the individual requirements of the project and can be re-used multiple times. When struck, the Trough Mould, subject to specification, can achieve a good quality finish for exposed applications.
