FAQ
Why not use wooden supports?
Wood is traditionally used in the building sector in general, but in this case it is not a suitable material because:
- it is subject to rapid deterioration due to weather and seasonal variations;
- it ruins, rots and does not create a stable foothold;
- damages the pavement as a result of water absorption.
Why not use concrete supports?
Cement is a very robust material, but mainly involves two problems:
- Long maturation times: it is necessary to wait until the blocks or curbs are perfectly dry before being able to place them on the module;
- If the monobloc has to be moved, it is necessary to dismantle the thrown elements, an operation that involves a temporal and economic waste;
- The positioning of large concrete blocks implies the expensive use of the mechanical arm;
- In the presence of humidity it can cause damage to the flooring.
Why not use iron supports?
Iron, therefore the use of metal plates, involves various problems:
- The leveling supports available are often not suitable for the height that must be reached by lifting the cylinder block;
- It is not a light material, therefore also in terms of transportability, it limits the number of pieces that can be brought manually, causing an increase in assembly times;
- It is a conductive material, therefore it does not allow the insulation of the container (think of the electrical discharge caused by lightning which unfortunately hits the cylinder block);
- Exposed to bad weather it can oxidize and leave unwanted traces.
So why use our plates?
Our plates avoid all the problems of cement, iron and wood; for this it is sufficient to use plastic support plates.
The basic material used is polypropylene, mixed according to a formula of material studied by our laboratories.
The result is a light product, easy to transport and simple to position: light but not fragile. In fact, thanks to the high compressive strength , it allows you to have guarantees of capacity and guarantee safety for the entire structure located above.
The compression certificates attest to this: laboratory tests declare resistance without breaking or cracking up to loads of 100 tons. These results are the result of constancy and quality. The company continually invests in the safety factor by periodically repeating the tests: the product has always maintained the same prerogatives and characteristics, guaranteeing constant safety and reliability over time.
In the event that the monobloc needs to be moved, the underlying thicknesses will also be removed and reused.
Both surfaces, both lower and upper, are enriched by the presence of equidistant pyramidal anchor points that create an anti-slip surface.
In this way we can hold in our hands a careful and precise product, which satisfies the numerous prerogatives of the work on site.
At a time when maximum attention is paid to the environment and its protection, these plates allow zero environmental impact, a symbol of material recycling, “PP” polypropylene material.
