The Revolutionary System to Build Walls.
Monolyto is the easiest way to create walls of any type!
The Monolyto building system revolutionise walls building with its disposable plastic formwork, which is 100% recyclable that is easy to assemble to create wall volumes that are then filled with a large variety of materials based on the needs of the designer.
Wiring and plumbing can be passed through the structures easily, as can other other vertical structural elements, if needed. This is extremely simple because it is carried out before inserting the filler material.
Lastly, the perforated structure of the formwork makes it easy to apply render in the same nature as the material, or any other type of cladding.
All of these characteristics involve a notable saving of time and labour – essential aspects for the success of any building project.
Monolyto is a system patented in 74 countries, and it has been in use on various buildings throughout the world for over ten years.
Monolyto opens many prospects for technical engineers who can finally use new materials, the use of which – to date – was complex and limited to the creation of blocks in heavy materials, which require difficult, expensive management.
This is why Monolyto represents a genuine revolution for the industry.
How to Build a Wall with Monolyto
Step 1
Preparing the blocks
Monolyto arrives on site flat; it bends easily and closes with the special clips
Step 2
Create the Wall
Lay the first row and then continue with the following rows, on to the required height.
Step 3
Ducting System
Proceed to duct the wiring and plumbing systems.
Step 4
Fill it on site
Cast the filling mix and skim any material that comes out of the holes to create the rough

6 reasons to build your walls with Monolyto
1
Build Anytype of interior and external walls
This is disposable formwork that – according to the needs of the designer can be filled with a vast range of mixes. The range of products has been created to make it possible to build any type of interior and external wall.
2
Save on Building Costs
The walls are cast on site without any joints: once hardened, the filling material becomes completely monolithic and anti seismic. What is more, the weight is lower and therefore, it has a lesser impact on the structure, making it possible to save on building costs.
3
No Heavy Machinery requirements
The flat form of Monolyto when delivered is safer for site use and requires no heavy machinery or movement of heavy loads. Even site management is simpler, given that Monolyto can be stored anywhere.
4
Compliance to Thermal & Acoustic standards
Walls built in Monolyto have the same thermal and acoustic performance as required by legal standards; they regulate moisture levels and prevent the formation of mould. As a result, they create healthy, comfortable environments.
5
Save on Building Times
Wall assembly is easy, thanks to a clip system that reduces building times and as a result, costs
6
Help the reduction of plastic
It is made in 100% recycled plastic and contributes to significantly reducing the presence of this material on the planet, since it recycles 2,500 kilos of plastic per 80 sq m of wall. In case of demolition, it can be recycled again.
It's Easy!
Why Monolyto is better than “masonry”
No chases are needed
because wiring and plumbing can be passed through the Monolyto formwork before it is filled
A 10 sq m wall can be built in just 2 hours
unlike the at least 7 hours needed for a wall the same size built in masonry
No heavy machinery
is needed to move the formwork inside or outside the site
No outer coating
is needed
No specialist labour
is needed
Monolyto Full Products Lists
The range of Monolyto products has been made to create any type of wall with extreme simplicity and excellent results.
All products are available in three thicknesses: 7,5 cm, 12,5 cm, 25 cm
Which filling mixes can be used?
Thanks to the characteristics of hemp, we can build walls with excellent heat-insulation capacities both in summer and
winter, as well as being soundproof and able to regulate moisture levels in rooms (avoiding the risk of mould and the spread of bacteria), with comfier, healthier buildings. The mix of lime + hemp can be considered biocompatible and as having a low environmental impact, since during its growth process, hemp absorbs and traps CO2 . It is also easier to use with minimum amounts of waste.
Concrete, when lightened with polystyrene becomes an extremely lightweight material but still guarantees
the mechanical resistance required. The filling impacts less on the structures, meaning reduced sizes. The mix guarantees excellent heat and sound insulation performances, thanks to the insulation qualities of the air inside the polystyrene, and excellent water resistance - since the balls are water repellent - and a good level of fire
resistance. It is a commonly used material, that is well known and does not require specifically skilled workers.
Clay creates a light but extremely resistant compound, since its cell structure is enclosed inside a clinker shell. Since clay has a low level of thermal conductivity and a porous cellular structure
the walls made with this mix will have excellent heat-insulating and soundproofing capacities. We will have comfy, silent rooms! The natural origin of expanded clay makes it an eco &bio compatible product, certified for biobuilding applications.
Vermiculite is subjected to heat treatment: it loses combined water and expands to up to 30 times its original volume, creating an excellent insulation material with a low conductivity value. Given its mineral origin, it is non-combustible and
cannot be altered over time. Walls created with this mix will be characterized by excellent heat insulation, fireproof and inalterability characteristics.
Pumice has excellent resistance to compression, guaranteeing extreme lightness to the compound. It has excellent thermal properties with very low conductivity values and - thanks to its natural non hygroscopic qualities - it guarantees exceptional resistance to moisture. It is the result of the natural expansion of magmatic minerals and therefore, it can be considered completely ecological and usable for biobuilding.

Certifications
In spite of the fact that Monolyto is disposable formwork, which remains incorporated into the structure and which, as such, does not need any certification to be used, we have carried out several tests in conjunction with the main guidelines for the industry: Certimac (ENEA and CNR) and Istituto Giordano.
“We take care of our planet.
One of our main wishes is to help improve the current conditions of our planet because we believe that change is still possible.
That’s why our mission in Monolyto is to make buildings around the world more sustainable and ecological.”
We firmly believe that industrial growth today must absolutely go through sustainable development.
Monolyto created a construction system in a space that did not exist before.
Monolyto has designed and developed its formwork in a perspective that allows an important contribution in terms of circular economy.
Monolyto is in fact made with 100% recycled plastic.
The Monolyto construction system is the tangible demonstration that the concept of sustainability is not just something abstract but that instead can be translated into a concrete solution.
Thinking about a cleaner, more sustainable and more efficient world is possible.
