Discover the Ferracin Group’s VESPAIO SVELTO: the eco-friendly solution for crawl spaces, cavities and ventilated floors!

Made from recycled plastic materials from industrial and post-consumer waste, the Vespaio Svelto disposable formwork is the smart choice for any building project. With its sustainable composition, it helps preserve the environment without compromising the quality and solidity of polypropylene foundations.

Ferracin Group uses recycled plastic

The use of recycled materials not only helps to protect the environment, but also results in a significant cut in emissions. In fact, every kilogram of recycled plastic used avoids as much as 1.5 kilograms of CO2 into the atmosphere.

The Ferracin Group’s Svelto Vespaio represents an excellent option for integrating sustainable practices into construction, combining efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Characteristics of
the vespaio ventilated

The Vespaio Svelto, made of recycled polypropylene, is a versatile solution for crawl spaces, cavities and ventilated floors, suitable for all types of construction, whether new or under renovation.

Characterised by a square design (56×56 – 58×58 cm), it offers a modular interlocking system for easy installation on a concrete foundation.

vespaio svelto

After the electrowelded mesh has been laid and the concrete has been poured, the Vespaio Svelto forms pillars that guarantee the strength of the floor, evenly distributing the loads over the entire surface. If necessary, it can be shaped and completed with the FERMOPLAST accessory, ensuring effective closure and avoiding waste during concrete pouring.

Thanks to its structure, the Vespaio Svelto creates an air chamber under the ground floor, allowing perfect ventilation and improving room comfort. In addition, it acts as a barrier against rising damp from the ground and prevents the accumulation of radon gas, ensuring a waterproof and safe floor.

Its hollow shape allows the easy passage of underground technological installations and networks in all directions, facilitating inspections and possible modifications over time. Adaptable also in seismic areas, by connecting the electro-welded mesh to perimeter beams, it offers greater resistance and stability to the entire structure.

Available in different sizes:

cm 10 – 15 – 20 – 25 (58×58 cm – 3 pcs/sqm)

cm 27 – 30 – 35 – 40 – 45 – 50 (56×56 cm – 3.2 pcs/sqm).

The Vespaio Svelto adapts to the specific needs of each project, offering versatility and reliable performance.

Foundations with Svelto building crawl space

Il vespaio pavimento, conosciuto anche come “Vespaio aerato” o “Cassero per vespaio areato” nel settore edilizio, rappresenta la soluzione ottimale per la realizzazione di pavimenti, sia in contesti di costruzioni nuove che di ristrutturazioni di edifici civili e industriali.

The floor under-floor cavity, also known as an ‘aerated cavity’ or ‘aerated crawl space formwork’ in the construction industry, is the optimal solution for creating floors in both new construction and renovation contexts for civil and industrial buildings.

Placed on top of a lean concrete foundation, the under-floor cavity formwork provides a robust base for the concrete casting. This system generates pillars that, once the concrete is mature, evenly distribute loads over the entire surface, ensuring optimal floor strength.

The aeration of the underfloor cavity plays a key role as a sanitary vacuum, creating a vapour barrier for the floor. Thanks to its aerated structure and externally connected pipes, the floor cavity promotes the elimination of Radon gas, contributing to a safe and healthy indoor environment.

Made from recycled plastic material, the polypropylene one-way formwork is a sustainable choice that saves emissions. Its spherical shell shape ensures optimal mechanical strength with minimal concrete thickness, allowing significant savings in the materials used. This feature also facilitates the identification of the section with the minimum concrete thickness, allowing effective control of shrinkage cracking.
