MBK Polistibrick is an innovative formwork system consisting of two elements: an inner and an outer part, both 1.2 meters wide and with a height that can exceed 3 meters. The inner element features a thermal insulation system (typically graphite polystyrene or polyurethane, but it can be insulated with any thermal insulation product), onto which a farmacel (fiber-cement) board with a thickness of 12 to 24 mm is applied. The outer element is identical to the inner one but with an 8 mm thick farmacel board. The formwork is assembled on-site, offering complete freedom for reinforcement within the formwork, being the only ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) system in the world with this capability. The fiber-cement board serves as the finish, eliminating the need for plaster or drywall. Practically, after pouring the concrete into the formwork, the house is completed up to the rough level, meaning it only needs painting to be ready. This construction solution ensures excellent thermal insulation, is quick and efficient to install, saves time and money, and uses durable and eco-friendly materials, contributing to sustainable construction.

Thermal Insulation: Uses polystyrene, basalt wool, polyurethane, or sheep wool. Provides excellent thermal insulation, being lightweight and durable.
Pharmacel Boards: Made from cement, fiberglass, and cellulose, they offer high impact resistance (comparable to five layers of drywall), an A1 fire classification (non-combustible), and are moisture-resistant.
Reinforced Concrete: Provides exceptional structural strength, being durable and resistant to earthquakes and other natural disasters, ensuring long-term safety of the building.
This system consists of two main elements: thermal insulation and farmacel (fiber-cement) boards. The thermal insulation can be made from a variety of materials such as polystyrene, basalt wool, polyurethane, sheep wool, or any other thermal insulation system, offering extraordinary versatility. This makes MBK Polistibrick the most adaptable formwork system in the world.
The farmacel (fiber-cement) boards are made from a mixture of cement, fiberglass, and cellulose, giving them remarkable impact resistance, comparable to five layers of standard drywall. These boards have an A1 fire rating, which is highly valued by those concerned about fire safety. Additionally, they are moisture-resistant, allowing their use in deep basements down to -10 floors, as well as in gyms or public swimming pools.
The building structure constructed with MBK Polistibrick is made of reinforced concrete, ensuring the safest construction in case of earthquakes or natural disasters.
What is Polistibrick and how does it work?
