| Q. |
What is COFFOR ? |
| A. |
COFFOR is a lightweight structural formwork system to build reinforced concrete. It is a stay-in-place formwork that reinforces the construction. |
| Q. |
What are COFFOR and COFFOR INSULATED made of? |
| A. |
COFFOR is made of rib lath, C shaped profiles (both produced from hot galvanized cold rolled steel in coil) and articulated rebar loops (produced from steel rebar).
COFFOR INSULATED is made with the same components but includes an insulation material such as polystyrene or polyurethane. See section COFFOR TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS. |
| Q. |
What are the dimensions of COFFOR panels? |
| A. |
Standard widths of COFFOR are 1220 mm (48’’), 990 mm (40”), 760 mm (30”), 530 mm ( 21”) and 300 mm (12”). Heigth is according to order. Standard thickness of COFFOR is 150 mm (6”), 200 mm (8’’) and 250 mm (10’’). Other thickness are available on request. |

| A. |
No. The limit is the same as for all reinforced concrete constructions. |
| Q. |
What is the height limitation of a COFFOR wall? |
| A. |
There is no height limitation. Walls 12 m (39 ft) high were built by positioning 3 COFFOR
4 m (13 ft) high panels poured one after the other. |
| Q. |

| A. |
No. COFFOR is not reusable as it remains integrated in the wall after the concrete is poured. |
