Construction companies, architects and structural engineers of buildings use Cobiax® to realize extraordinary structures in single family homes up to airports. More than 10 million square meters of Cobiax® voided flat slabs have been produced to date, saving more than 1.5 million tons of concrete.

About the Brand

Reduction of costs

Slabs, walls, columns and foundations can be optimised for the reduced load-bearing capacity – they are lighter and smaller, and therefore cheaper. The concrete required for the slabs is reduced by up to 35%; the material costs drop accordingly.

Greater design freedom

Cobiax voided flat plate slab systems enable larger areas to be spanned, at the same weight. The architect is released from structural limitations and is able to plan more freely.

Faster construction

Beam solutions often require time-consuming intermediate steps during the building process. With Cobiax technologies, these beam constructions are no longer necessary – building time is reduced and the building can be put into operation sooner.

Sustainability

The Cobiax void former systems reduces consumption of natural resources and CO2 emissions by up to 20%. All products are made from 100% recycled plastic and so contribute to sustainable, environmentally conscious construction.

About Cobiax Voided Slabs

www.cobiax.com/intl/en

Cobiax voided slabs, a technology for lightweight concrete slabs, originated in the mid-1990s with the use of plastic void formers. The core idea is to replace non-load-bearing concrete with hollow spheres, reducing the slab's weight and enabling longer spans. This technology has evolved from early concepts of hollow slabs to the modern Cobiax system, which utilizes recycled plastic spheres to create voids within the slab.
