Altiflex guide
Altiflex assists landlords, contractors and builders on larger and complex projects with qualified advice on the best interim closure for your project. In this process, it is crucial that our customers' specific needs are met based on the best conditions that benefit the construction, the working environment, the bottom line and the environment.
We are specialists in temporary enclosures for construction and offer ongoing assistance and service to contractors, engineers, architects and building owners. It is our goal, together with our customers, to find a professional and durable solution that can make it easier to perform temporary enclosures while removing a number of additional costs and risks from the construction site as well as from the overall budget.
To choose the most advantageous solution, it is therefore important to consider all factors in the budgeting and planning of the construction, so that you get a true picture of the total costs. In traditional planning, the responsibility and budget items are often divided into 'cigar boxes,' illustrated as follows:
- One stands for assembly
- One is responsible for maintenance
- One stands for dismantling
- One stands for safety railings
- One stands for heating
- One stands for drying out
- One stands for waste
When the costs are divided up like this, it is difficult to calculate the total cost of using plastic and wooden frames. Using the Altiflex system ensures better overall economy, and it is simple to calculate the total budget across the different expense items.
With the Altiflex system you get:
- Assembly and disassembly
- No ongoing maintenance
- A system approved as a safety railing
- A lower heating bill, as the modules insulate at the same level as an old-fashioned double-glazed window
- A drier construction, as it is possible to seal off the construction from the start and thus significantly shorten the drying time
- No waste or disposal as all parts of the system are recycled
- A healthier working environment without drafts and humidity
In addition to savings on energy consumption for heating, the Altiflex system provides further savings on safety railings, ongoing maintenance and waste disposal.
Often, quotes for temporary closures with plastic, wooden frames and plywood do not include dismantling, safety railings, disposal, maintenance and waste disposal. This makes it almost impossible to budget what the plastic solution actually costs, as there are a large number of 'invisible' additional costs.
With proper interim sealing from the start of construction, drying time is reduced, it becomes easier to adhere to budgets and schedules, and it is possible to start indoor work much earlier than with traditional sealing.
