PFIC is a proud member of The Vinyl Council of Australia.
PVC Permanent Formwork systems are an increasingly popular method of building in Australia, offering an alternative to block work and precast or insitu concrete that promises faster project turnarounds, reduced costs and cleaner and safer construction methodologies.
Whilst the PVC permanent formwork systems on the Australian market differ in terms of componentry, assembly methods and applications, what they all have in common is that they are a lightweight system that can be core filled with concrete, and in some applications steel, to form both non-load bearing and load bearing walls.
The use of PVC permanent formwork into the building and construction markets affords end-users the following benefits:
Structural walls, garages, basements, facades, internal walls, retaining walls.
Facades, internal walls, basements, structural columns, blade walls, balustrades, load-bearing walls.
Facades, intertenancy/party walls, basements.
