RECOSTAL® Expanded metal
RECOSTAL® Expanded Metal is specifically developed for concrete and reinforced concrete constructions. Bearing capacity and surface structure are perfectly suited to these applications. Strong 21 mm high ribs run lengthwise across the sheet. Pressure of fresh concrete is considerably lower compared to solid formwork and only rises to a maximum of 38 kN/m2 . This value remains constant for concrete heights exceeding 3.0 m
The Benefits:
Strong lengthwise
Fast Installation
Shapeable crosswise
Cut to size
Joint category "rough" according to EC2
It is used for making:
Construction joints
Self-supporting vaults
Tube crossing
Architectural details
