Q. |
Is it possible to use COFFOR for part of a building and another formwork system for the rest? Can they be combined with prefabricated slabs? |
| A. |
Yes. COFFOR can be combined with any construction system. |
| Q. |
Can COFFOR be reinforced with rebar ? How is the rebar placed? |
| A. |
For many constructions, no additional rebar are necessary since COFFOR provides the structural reinforcement. If civil engineers determine that additional rebar are necessary, for example in highrise buildings or constructions in sensitive areas (earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.), they are easily added directly on-site. Vertical rebar are grouped in pairs and inserted from the top into the C profiles of COFFOR . Horizontal rebar are inserted between the C profile and the vertical rebar. It is not necessary to tie horizontal and vertical rebar as they are secured. |

| Q. |
Can COFFOR be used in seismic areas? |
| A. |
Yes. COFFOR is particularly well-suited for seismic areas as it builds shear walls. The rebar loops and steel cage provide an efficient confinement of concrete and prevent debris from scattering during an earthquake. |

| Q. |
What finishes are used for interior walls? |
| A. |
Any interior finish is possible. Plastering is easily applied due to the herringbone mesh that provides an efficient bonding. Drywalls can be pasted as well as wood, tiles, plastic, marble, etc. If an interior thermal insulation is required it is directly applied to the COFFOR wall. |
| Q. |
What finishes are used for exterior walls? |
| A. |
Any exterior finish is possible. Stucco as well as any projected finish bond exceptionally well due to the herringbone mesh that provides an efficient bonding. The characteristic of the finish, number of layers and thickness depends on local conditions. In aggressive areas like sea shores, waterproofing may be necessary. Other exterior finishes (wood, marble, etc..) are possible. |
