Q. How does Nova Formworks’ method achieve a spectacular finish while ensuring the dependability and durability of the final construction?
The excellent finish of concrete when using Nova Formworks can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the plastic compound used by Nova has a low surface tension that does not allow concrete to adhere to it. This prevents any concrete from sticking to the plastic surfaces, ensuring a smooth finish. Additionally, the design of Nova Formworks incorporates a locking system that prevents leakage between the panels when they are joined, further enhancing the quality of the concrete finish. This absence of slurry leakage means that the concrete is ready for painting without the need for plastering, resulting in a spectacular finish. This not only saves time but also leads to significant cost savings. Furthermore, the overall quality of the concrete structure is excellent due to the absence of leakage issues.
