CLIPBLOX PERMANENT FORMWORK

A global system.
Local expertise.

ClipBlox originates from SolidPool in France, where the system was developed as a simpler way to construct reinforced-concrete swimming pools.

Over the last 22 years, the system has spread to 33 countries around the world.

In the UK, Orbro combines the ClipBlox system with decades of hands-on swimming pool and construction experience — supplying the system, supporting projects, providing training and constructing pool shells.

HOW IT WORKS

The formwork stays.
The concrete does the work.

ClipBlox creates the form around the steel reinforcement. Concrete is poured into the system to create a continuous 150mm reinforced-concrete wall, while the lightweight polypropylene formwork remains permanently in place.

01

Steel Reinforcement

Provides tensile Strength and

prevents cracking.

02

Structural Concrete

Creates the mass and

compressive strengths.

03

Permanent Formwork

Remains in place after

the pour.

CLIPBLOX SYSTEM

Lightweight. Strong. Simple

Clipblox is a modular permanent formwork system designed to make

reinforced-concrete construction simpler, faster and more flexible

Hear from a Pain and Movement Specialist:

"Traditional and heavier blocks aren't just physically more exhausting due to weight, as you tire, you compensate for the weight. You'll use other other muscles and joints to help out, leading to more stress. 

Multiple layers of issues and compensation develop over time, amplifying the problems further. 

Besides less physical stress, these lighter blocks can improve moral and enjoyment with the work, extending your career."
