Thanks to a new formulation and a completely new manufacturing process, Schöck Signo® is thus establishing itself as the widest formwork offer on the market. A unique combination of concrete gives the elements of this range an exceptionally smooth exterior surface, free of bubbles or roughness, for an impeccable appearance. This aesthetic advantage is coupled with that of being hydrophobic, totally waterproof due to infinitesimal capillary pores, making it possible to achieve optimum durability, without risk of deterioration over time linked to humidity and guaranteeing the necessary coating of the steels. The manufacturing process incorporates two phases: the first involves the molding of the exterior face of the Signo®, then in the continuity of a single casting, the second consists of an extrusion process which gives the highly compacted fiber-reinforced concrete internal faces, roughness and tenons promoting adhesion to fresh concrete.
Dedicated to the production of exposed concrete construction elements such as the edges of pre-slabs, balconies, bands, walls or even edge beam formwork, Schöck Signo® benefits from an impeccable facing that will appeal to architects, prefabricators and construction companies.
Many advantages
In extruded fiber-reinforced concrete type C40 / 50, Schöck Signo® has the advantage of a remarkably smooth surface on the outside, guaranteeing a high-quality finish, and rough on the inside, as well as tenons, for optimal adhesion with fresh concrete.
Delivered ready for assembly, in a maximum length of 2.70 ML, it is enough to cut these formwork elements to obtain the desired dimension and angle, then to assemble them with ease and in record time thanks to the straight junction clips and angles for perfect alignment. The tenons with which they are fitted on the interior side then create a linear mechanical link with the fresh concrete.
Efficient, fast and secure, this turnkey solution, generating no de facto waste on site, sets itself up as an ally of professionals in search of rational construction methods, short construction times and optimization of profitability, with a aesthetic result responding appropriately to the expectations of the various players in the building industry.
It should also be noted that Schöck Signo® can be tailor-made according to needs and projects, with a choice of heights ranging from 7 to 60 cm.
Whether opening doors, windows, stairs, landings or balconies, Schöck Signo® provides each of these configurations with an ideal solution by creating the perfect frame.
Three models for multiple applications
Schöck Signo® type U-0
Formwork for edges of slabs, slabs and beams. Signo® type U-0 formwork is used for the edges of slabs, slabs and beams. Equipped with a chamfer identical to that of a shuttering rule, it ensures an irreproachable finish.
Schöck Signo® type U-1
Formwork for the realization of balcony edges Signo® type U-1, also with chamfered profile, has a particularly effective sealing tongue allowing a perfect and regulatory drop of water to be obtained by removing the seal after casting. It is easily positioned on the shuttering table to make the edges of balconies.
Schöck Signo® type U-2
Formwork for double walls and sandwich walls Signo® type U-2 is fitted with two sealing strips to treat the lateral sides of the walls, preventing any passage of the concrete laitance.
