Nuform's CONFORMTM is a patented system of interconnected polymer-based extruded components that slide together, interconnecting to make a formwork for pouring concrete walls in place. It's an adaptable system that allows flexibility of design. The end result is superior durability and cost-effective construction.Advantages of using CONFORMTM wall forming system include minimal maintenance because the walls are UV and weather resistant and do not require painting. It is energy efficient and environmentally friendly.Nuform wall systems are used for military installations, sound barriers, vehicle washes, agricultural installations, and many other building projects.Nuform wall systems have been used widely in military applications and so the company's level of experience for those purposes is high. The United States Air Force, Marine Corps, Army and Navy have all used the CONFORMTM wall forming system for construction of offices, clinics, barracks, training centers, storage buildings, and schools.To suit the most commonly required applications for noise reduction, Nuform makes three types of installations: mineral fiberboard sound reducers, barriers filled with concrete, and barriers reinforced with steel. These are panel and post construction and so can be put together quickly and cost effectively. They are resistant to effects of salt, UV, and graffiti. As with all Nuform projects they are durableFor uses in agricultural buildings, features such as fast on-site construction, elimination of painting and other maintenance, insulation and pest resistance are all significant.Poultry, hog, and dairy farmers also all share concerns about maintaining hygiene and indoor air quality. CONFORMTM concrete walls are easy to clean and are made from materials that do not release volatile organic compounds into the air. This makes them a good choice for farm structures in any climate.The CONFORMTM wall forming system is also a good choice for vehicle wash construction or renovation projects. The walls do not rust, rot, or flake. Even under daily dousings with cleaning chemicals they do not corrode. Again, UV and salt resistance are also desirable features.In addition to military, vehicle wash, and agricultural projects, the Nuform wall forming system has also been used for airport towers, car dealerships, guard structures, apartment buildings, burial vaults, and retaining walls.When planning a project, most companies today consider energy savings and environmental responsibility. Nuform Direct maintains a strong commitment to environmentally sound practices, both in the manufacturing of products and in construction.R3 sustainable technology - recycle, reuse, repurpose - has been at the heart of their business over the past 15 years. They bring practical, hands-on experience in recycled process technology to the building industry. Their wall forming systems result in energy savings because of insulating and light reflecting properties.Building interiors are mold, mildew, rodent and pest resistant, which means better indoor air quality because toxic substances are not needed to control those conditions. Durability and low maintenance are also considered "green" building practices.For wall forming system, check out FRP for more insight on wall panels.
