Why Choose EPS Cube Moulds?
Lightweight & Easy to Use
EPS cube moulds are significantly lighter than traditional steel or plastic moulds. This reduced weight makes them easier to handle and transport around the site, minimising manual handling strain for workers.
Disposable & Hassle-Free
Our moulds are designed for single-use, which means no cleaning, storage, or return is required. Simply use them once and dispose of them, saving time and eliminating contamination risks associated with reused moulds.
Durable & Dimensionally Accurate
We ensure that our EPS moulds are robust and provide consistent cube sizes with clean edges. This dimensional accuracy is crucial for reliable compressive strength testing, giving you confidence in your test results.
Moisture-Resistant
EPS moulds maintain their shape and performance even in damp or wet environments. This moisture resistance is essential for on-site testing conditions, ensuring that the moulds work effectively regardless of the weather.
Custom Sizes Available
We offer flexibility in manufacturing, allowing you to request custom sizes for your moulds. From standard 100mm and 150mm cubes to bespoke dimensions tailored to your project requirements, we can accommodate your needs.
A Smarter Alternative to Traditional Moulds
Unlike metal moulds that require cleaning and ongoing maintenance, our EPS cube moulds are a cleaner and more convenient option. They save time and reduce mess, making them ideal for busy construction sites or remote locations where efficiency is key.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are polystyrene cube moulds used for?
Polystyrene cube moulds are primarily used for concrete strength testing in construction and civil engineering projects. They are designed to create uniform concrete cubes that can be tested for compressive strength, ensuring that the concrete meets the necessary specifications before use in construction.
Why choose polystyrene over metal for cube moulds?
Choosing polystyrene over metal for cube moulds offers several advantages. EPS cube moulds are significantly lighter, making them easier to handle and transport on-site. They are also disposable, eliminating the need for cleaning and maintenance associated with metal moulds. This reduces the risk of contamination and saves time during the testing process. Additionally, EPS moulds maintain dimensional accuracy while providing a cost-effective solution for concrete testing.
Are EPS cube moulds reusable?
No, EPS cube moulds are not reusable. They are designed for single-use applications, which helps to prevent contamination and ensures that each concrete test is conducted with a clean mould. This disposable nature streamlines the testing process, making it more efficient and reliable.
Do polystyrene cube moulds provide accurate test results?
Yes, polystyrene cube moulds provide accurate test results. They are manufactured to be dimensionally precise, ensuring that the cubes formed are uniform in size and shape. This consistency is crucial for reliable compressive strength testing, allowing engineers to make informed decisions based on the test outcomes.
How easy is it to remove concrete from an EPS cube mould?
Concrete can be easily removed from EPS cube moulds once it has set. The smooth interior surface of the mould allows for straightforward demoulding, reducing the risk of damage to the concrete cube. This ease of removal is another reason why EPS moulds are a popular choice among contractors and engineers for concrete testing applications.
