Concrete installation system - Spelsberg - #3

Concrete is gaining more and more supporters because the material is very versatile in use, reduces construction time and lowers costs. Concrete long ago lost its grey, sad image and it is increasingly developing into a design element. In concrete construction there is a distinction between two manufacturing processes: site cast concrete and large panel construction. With site cast concrete, formwork is set up on the building site into which liquid

concrete is poured. With large panel construc­tion, wall and ceiling elements are industrially prefabricated. Here the concrete is cast in vertical or horizontal formwork installations. The right accessories play an important role so that high grade technology, such as is found a more and more frequently in concrete walls and ceilings in functional buildings, can be optimally accommodated. Equipment and ceiling boxes, junction boxes and other installation components have to be fixed to the formwork before the actual concreting process, in order

to be cast in. Spelsberg has supplemented its tried-and-tested IBT range with a new housing series: IBTronic, as its name would lead you to suppose, makes it possible for halogen and LED luminaires, loud-speakers and also high quality electronics such as e.g. EIB components and transformers, to be hidden comfortably and conveniently in the concrete ceiling. Different shapes are available which are ideally suitable not only for pre-cast components but also for site cast concrete.
