Constructing highly technical walls with added aesthetic advantages
The GBE System® can be used for cast-in-place curved walls.
The use of concrete offers several advantages. It is very easy to modulate its texture and surface appearance. It is a firm favourite among leading interior designers and architects.
Concrete can take on any form and appearance to cover outside living spaces: nearly flat roofs, ground, benches, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. Its texture and appearance can be adapted to any requirement from architects.
Self-compacting concrete (SCC), such as Agilia from Lafarge, allows for massive freedom in terms of shapes, textures and colours; facade finishing is meticulous meaning the walls can be left exposed both inside and out.
Acoustic insulation
The GBE System® also provides airborne sound insulation.
Pursuant to soundproofing regulations (such as the loi Masse in France), a concrete sandwich wall, cast-in-place with integral absorbent material, results in colossal acoustic improvements.
All future residents can enjoy a pleasing acoustics quality provided by the GBE System®.
A solution that goes hand-in-hand with construction company expertise
The GBE System® makes it possible to build monolithic buildings (while complying with DTU requirements (French codes of practice in the building industry)) and is adapted to Prime Contractor requirements.
Unlike prefabrication, which necessitates technical interfaces between manufacturers and contract holders of technical batches, the GBE System® streamlines the whole process: integral work performed on-site, meaning companies retain complete control of their entire service.
Simple to use, the indirect positive impact of the GBE System® will be felt sector-wide: fostering the skills of formwork carpenters and using the expertise of primary construction companies!
