Benefits of Panelized 3-Dimensional
Armopanel™
Concrete Wall System for all users

ARMOPANEL™ PANELIZED SYSTEM
IS THE FASTEST WAY OF COMPLETING YOUR PROJECT


Do not waste time on other, costly and complicated wall erection systems

 

Hi-Tech Building Systems Corporation has revolutionized the construction industry by creating the Armopanel™ panelized system, which is less expensive, easier to use and more effective than other wall erection methods. The Armopanel™ panel consists of two polystyrene sheets (of standard size 48" x 96") connected by means of metal meshes and plastic caps. The panels are extremely light and can be installed within minutes by two workers. Armopanel™ system can be supplied pre-fabricated as 3-Dimensional formworks or as an assembly kit of Armopanel™ system's components to be assembled into 3-Dimensional formworks on the construction site. Furthermore, due to the interlock system of Armopanel™ formwork, the project concrete walls can be easily and quickly erected. The removable plastic caps, which are included within the Armopanel™ formwork, facilitate the installation of any

interior drywall or exterior siding. You simply screw the siding or drywall into the plastic caps at intervals of 8", 16" or 24". If the exterior finish is stucco, removal of the plastic caps and filling the cavities with adhesive serve as additional mechanical anchorage for stucco. Therefore, the reliability and durability of stucco is ensured and costs of maintenance are significantly reduced.

ARMOPANEL™ GUARANTEES THE SAFETY OF YOUR HOUSE
Walls built with Armopanel™ panelized system have a Fire Resistance Rating (FRR) of up to 4 hours depending on the concrete wall thickness. In the Armopanel™ system, plastic elements that facilitate the spreading of fire are not present within the concrete. In addition, your house will be protected from hurricane, tornadoes (winds of up to 140 miles per hour) and other natural disasters.

A HOUSE BUILT WITH ARMOPANEL™ OFFERS EXCELLENT COMFORT
Walls built with Armopanel™ panelized system provide excellent insulation (at least R20) and superior noise reduction (sound transmission class varies from 42 to 50). These benefits render your house quiet, cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The Armopanel™ formwork contains no formaldehyde, asbestos and fiberglass. Therefore, your home is both exceedingly comfortable and environmentally friendly.

 

 
A HOUSE BUILT WITH ARMOPANEL™
IS ENERGY EFFICIENT
 
Apart from the superior polystyrene insulation offered by Armopanel™ system, the formwork is designed so there would be an air gap between the drywall and the polystyrene board of Armopanel™ formwork. This feature causes the structure to be extremely thermally stable and reduces utility bills by up to 70%.
 

ARMOPANEL™ SYSTEM IS AN AFFORDABLE METHOD FOR THE ERECTION OF ANY HOUSE.

Armopanel™ is a cost efficient system that allows you to save in the following aspects:
- The construction time is shortened by
up to 30%,
- Labor costs are reduced by 50%
- Less on-site equipment (such as scaffolding, bracing, welding, crane etc.) is necessary, cutting equipment costs by up to 70%
- Lower insurance premiums by up to 20%
- Spending on maintenance and repairs is reduced by up to 70%
- A safe, well insulated and durable house will have a market value higher by up to 15%.

 


 


ARMOPANEL™
CONCRETE
WALL SYSTEM

It is an innovative panelized insulating formwork. The system is easily installed by interlocking prefabricated panels. Each panel consists of two 50mm (2") thick, high density, flame resistant sheets, which are made from Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) or Extruded Polystyrene (XPS). The sheets are connected by means of unique steel meshes and are fastened by plastic caps. The meshes within the panel also facilitate installation of vertical and horizontal reinforcement. The panels are lightweight, easy to cut and have a safe and easy interlocking mechanism.

VERSATILITY IN DESIGN
Armopanel™ system allows wall concrete thickness of 4", 6", 8", 10", 12" and /or 14"and is applicable to projects in the residential and

commercial spheres. Apart from plain panels [of standard height 96" (2400mm) and width of 48" (1200mm)] that are offered in H or V (add on) designs, the Hi-Tech Building System Corporation offers a variety of other panels for your construction needs: T-panels, brickledge panels, foundation and industrial foundation panels. In addition, corner panels are offered in a variety of angles: 90°, 120°, 135° and etc.


COST EFFICIENCY
Unlike other ICF systems that have blocks of size 48"(W) x 12"(H), 48"(W) x 16"(H),
48"(W) x 24"(H), the Armopanel™ ICF system utilizes panels with standard size of
48"(W) x 96"(H). Consequently, 8, 6 or 4 blocks are replaced with 1 easily installable panel (see illustration below). Labor costs are reduced, construction period is significantly shorter, and the implementation of the project is much easier when Armopanel™ panelized system is used.

Armopanel™ system is the better choice for all your construction requirements. It is cost effective, convenient and yields well insulated buildings with higher property value. So, do not waste any more time and money on other wall erection methods, and let Hi-Tech Building System Corporation show you how easy and efficient construction can be.
