During the construction of a small private house or a shopping center with a large area use a building formwork. It is necessary for pouring the foundation and its characteristics depend on the characteristics of the future design. But what is better - to buy the entire set of formwork or to rent?
Why is the
lease profitable? Formwork is necessary to give a concrete mixture a certain shape. It is used in the construction of foundations and walls in a jellied manner. Previously, wooden boards were used as a protective structure. But after their removal, the surface of the walls was not even, and in some places there were significant defects.
Now they use modern materials - plastic / polystyrene panels or galvanized sheets of iron. They are connected to each other by a system of simple fasteners. This ensures fast installation of the structure and prompt dismantling after cooling of the concrete layer.
So why is it advantageous to take formwork for rent? This is due to several factors:
- Cost. The average rental price is from 400 rubles per cubic meter and depends on the configuration and volume. The purchase of a similar set will cost at least 4 times more expensive.
- Professional advice on the arrangement and calculation of the foundation. Almost all rental companies provide advice on leased equipment. They will help to choose the optimal set of components, they will be delivered to the object and taken away after dismantling.
- Installation of self-made structures can significantly affect the quality of the entire building.
However, when choosing the formwork, there may be certain difficulties. They are related to the specifics of this equipment.
Advice for choosing
During the selection of the optimal model of enclosure structures, a number of performance characteristics should be considered. First of all, this is the wear of the formwork. Since the quality control of individual elements is not always carried out in a timely manner, it is worthwhile to carefully examine each of them before the lease.
The geometric parameters of the fasteners must comply with the standards. Otherwise, even with the marriage of one rack, installation of the entire structure will be impossible. Shields should be free of visible defects, breach of integrity - cracks, holes, etc. Long formwork life often leads to the appearance of these defects.
Installation and dismantling instructions, rules of recommendation from the formwork manufacturer. It is best to use the standard assembly diagrams, recommended by the manufacturer.
For professional quality control of leased equipment, it is best to invite a construction specialist. He will be able to assess the degree of deterioration of individual elements and the entire structure as a whole, as well as assess the complexity of the installation of the formwork and its dismantling.
In aggregate analyzing all of the above, there is only one conclusion: it is possible to lease the formwork for a foundation, but only by analyzing all the factors associated with this event. And most importantly, when choosing, you need to control the quality of the structures. For the construction of a private house is perfectly suitable non-removable formwork, which is characterized by low cost and convenient installation.
