BENEFITS
A quick construction and engineered solution in one
Each panel incorporates the functions of permanent sacrificial formwork, framework, and hard-wearing finish in one fast-to-erect solution. Once core filled with reinforced concrete it provides a structural load bearing walling system.
Certified and compliant
Tested and assessed by recognised peak Australian NATA registered test laboratories and major engineering consultancies, AFS Logicwall® can be shown to meet all critical building performance requirements.
For added peace of mind AFS Logicwall® is CodeMark Certified reinforcing that it complies with the relevant requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) and confirms suitability for use in all NCC Class 1–10 buildings.
Minimal labour and handling
Reduce the costs of labour and handling, with lightweight AFS Logicwall® panels. There’s no need for cranes to install the panels. As individual panels can be erected by hand. Panels are then core-filled with easy-flow concrete in accordance with AFS Logicwall® concrete mix design specification.
Waste management
Our shop-drawn and custom-made-to measure AFS Logicwall® panels and delivered to site ready for installation, saving on waste and offcut disposal costs. The result is a massive reduction in onsite preparatory work, which drastically reduces the expense of skip bins, material waste and waste removal.
Quick delivery
Delivered in cut to measure lengths, AFS Logicwall® can be delivered to site within 8 business days of shop drawing approval.
Ready to finish
Eliminate the added expense of constructing stud and plasterboard finishing. AFS Logicwall® doubles as an excellent hard-wearing substrate for applied finishes such as skim coating, rendering, and painting.

AFS Logicwall® permanent formwork wall installation
To ensure the highest quality installation of afs logicwall® in your project, engage AFS recommended installers.
AFS Logicwall® recommended installers are regularly audited and fully trained in the construction methodology of our afs logicwall® product. At the conclusion of the audit process, our recommended installers are issued with a Certification of Installation Conformity, confirming that their practices conform with our recommended installation of the product.
Installation
Following set out, AFS Logicwall® panels are hand lifted into place over a steel floor track and starter bars.
Reo and services
The panels are braced using adjustable braces, then plumbed and straightened. Simple single or double reinforcement options can be installed horizontally and vertically, and electrical services can be accommodated within the walls.
Core filling
The panels are then core filled by pumping concrete (in accordance with the AFS Logicwall concrete mix design specification), usually performed from the formed deck of the next slab or off a scaffold.
