Cupolex Step down 200mm Dome

Commonly used for recessed showers, Load bearing walls and outdoor Patios. As the 200 Dome is already to size this eliminates the need to cut down or Modify on site reducing waste and down time. The 200 Dome can also reduce the need for Thickness in the foundations thus reducing concreate usage and steel.

CUPOLEX® Plastic Dome Shaped Concrete Forms are stay-in-place forms to create unreinforced or reinforced concrete slabs on grade. Concrete is poured over the modular dome forms to create floating or structural grade supported slabs, partially supported or fully supported slabs on beam, piles or deep foundations. CUPOLEX® slabs use less concrete and reinforcing than a standard slabs with equivalent load bearing capacity. The unique concrete geometry Cupolex creates, forms an under slab void that can be passively or mechanically vented to remove moisture and soil gases, protecting buildings against the ingress of harmful soil gasses.

CUPOLEX® Patented Forms have a unique connecting feature. Only, CUPOLEX® forms additional built-in plastic at all pressure point locations and a central reinforced cone support of height equal to the element positioned in correspondence of the central region, guarantees the absorption of vibrations which occurs during the finishing of the CUPOLEX® aerated concrete floor slab.

INSTALLATION:

CUPOLEX® provides Excellent Flexibility in Working with new construction or remodeled building layouts. The main characteristics of the forming system are speed and simplicity; the following points should be adhered to:

• On average two laborers set 110 m2/hr (1200 sf/hr)
• Layout complies with a grid system
• Can be installed on any resting surface – soil, gravel, etc.
• Each CUPOLEX® Form has an installation arrow Forms are Installed by starting from left to right and top to bottom
• Ensure that the feet connection pins are correctly inserted into their connection holes
• Pouring and finishing of the concrete slab in the conventional manner
