Installation phases

 

Installation manual
This manual shows some specifics that guarantee, in conditions of normal use, the correct structural behavior of the walls built with the ICF REXwall system.

Here is described the structure of the ICF REXwall panels and are illustrated the main structural features that normally can be found in buildings: connections with foundations and floors, intersections between walls and at the openings, etc.., and the procedures to install the formworks, to cast the concrete and to apply the finishing coat.

From an executive point of view, it must be pointed out that the panels are supplied as modular elements that, in order to guarantee the correct “box-like” behavior of the system, have to be supplemented with additional reinforcement.The size of these reinforcements always depend on the spans and on the amount of mechanical stress affecting the building, therefore it is only a structural designer’s prerogative to define the appropriate size.Always considering the structural details here explained, the practical use of the ICF REXwall panels can be optimized of your choosing, although we suggest, thanks to the experience gained over the years, to follow our basic instructions in order to obtain a successful work.The images in the manual show only some specific operations; because of the limits of this short report it is not possible to provide a complete representation of all the execution stages.

Rexpolgroup provides an efficient technical assistance, during both the designing phase and the executive one: our team of engineers and architects is able to assist the external specialists in designing the structures, calculating the correct wall thickness and amount of reinforcement according to the specific needs. Similarly, our skilled workers are able to provide assistance to the companies that use the system for the first time.
