Hello everyone,

brief and to the point. Does anyone have experience with Magu?
The blocks are manufactured near us, and what is offered seems very versatile.

Looking forward to your tips and suggestions, Alex

As with some other formwork block manufacturers, you need to adjust your thinking regarding the modular grid here – ultimately, the grid steps are 120 cm (47 inches) for macro, 30 cm (12 inches) for MIDI, and 5 cm (2 inches) for micro. I have already shared my thoughts on the somewhat different supply and disposal planning for formwork blocks in other threads on this topic.

The main difference I see between the Magu WS4 and other formwork block systems is that other formwork blocks are generally hollow blocks with fixed webs, whereas this system consists of three parts: an inner shell, an outer shell, and spacers.

I don’t consider this inherently worse, just somewhat different, meaning it slightly limits direct comparison with other formwork block systems. It seems to me that careful consideration has been given here on a level comparable to competitors, but with a design concept that is not easily comparable.

Hello,

Yes, the system is quite versatile, and they also offer roller shutters and venetian blinds. I will receive a quote in the next few days. I am curious to see if, as a German manufacturer, they can compete with the prices of competitors producing abroad.

Best regards, Alex
