Floating Structures

Our structures provide never seen before opportunities in ocean based development thanks to their composite construction. The closed cell air based core allows the product to float without absorbing water, and the unique structural attributes lends itself perfectly to custom and unique designs – allowing our customers to create stunning structures not previously seen in the industry.

Thanks to the revolutionary light weight properties of our structures they are perfectly suited to floating application. Their 100% composite construction thrives in the harshest coastal environments with zero rotting, shrinking or warping. The structures require zero maintenance and are able to uphold their physical aesthetic thanks to the impregnation of pigment into their exteriors so are ideal for hard to reach locations.

• Buoyancy: The closed cell structure of the foam core is filled with air, giving it a lightweight nature that allows the building to float effectively. This property is essential for floating structures, as it ensures stability and the ability to remain above water, even in fluctuating water levels.
• Water Resistance: One of the key advantages of closed cell foam is its resistance to water absorption. The closed cells create a barrier that prevents water from penetrating the material. This means that the foam core does not absorb moisture, which is crucial in coastal environments where exposure to water is constant.

• Versatility and Design Flexibility: The inherent properties of composite materials allow for greater flexibility in design. Iform Clever Buildings can be tailored to fit a variety of architectural styles and functional needs, ensuring that they provide both aesthetic value and practical utility. This adaptability makes them suitable for residential, commercial, and recreational uses alike

• Low Maintenance: Thanks to their composite construction, Iform Clever Buildings require less maintenance than traditional structures. Homeowners and operators can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their investment is less likely to face the ongoing costs associated with deterioration and maintenance.

• Thermal Insulation: Another benefit of the closed cell foam core is its excellent thermal insulation properties. This helps maintain comfortable temperatures inside the building while reducing energy costs, providing an additional practical advantage for residents or users of the space.
• Lightweight and Durable: The combination of being lightweight yet strong means that closed cell structural foam is not only easy to work with during installation but also can withstand harsh environmental conditions without compromising its structural integrity.

• Ideal for Coastal Environments: Coastal areas are often subjected to harsh weather conditions, including salt spray, high humidity, and severe storms. Traditional materials, such as wood, are vulnerable to mold, mildew, and deterioration when exposed to moisture over time. In contrast, the integrity of the iForm panel remains impermeable, ensuring that it maintains its structural strength and longevity. Iform’s composite materials are perfectly suited to withstand these challenges, making them the only choice for floating construction.

• Sustainability at our core:  Iform Clever Buildings are made from 98% recycled plastic and contribute to environmental sustainability. By utilizing composite materials, these buildings have a lower carbon footprint compared to those constructed from traditional materials. Additionally, their design can help preserve marine ecosystems by minimizing the impact on coastal land and removing waste material from the planet and recycling it into eco sensitive infrastructure.
