Frame
FormAT produces metal and wooden frames for climbing walls.
During designing it’s very important to consider all details, including doors, special holes for utility networks, free space between metal pipes for walkways, storage, inspection of construction etc.
FormAT produces frames from metal and wood in own plants. We purchase most of the connecting elements and fasteners from trusted suppliers.
But some are produced in our own production. Such as telescopic tractions, which are used in bouldering and lead climbing walls with complex multifaceted geometry. Also, the traction makes it easy to fit together the walls of the climbing wall during installation.
Panels are supported with cross balks to make no shakes as for safety of joints both for comfort climbing.
Engineers of FormAT calculate optimal materials for the Statics of frame, but sometimes we increase tensile strength for sure of Inspection control.
Safety first. But safety is not only the reliability of construction, but also reliability that climbing wall will withstand inspections of regulatory authorities and will be open in time.
Panels
In manufacture of panels FormAT uses next materials:
- water resistant plywood
- laminated super water resistant plywood for outdoor
- fiberglass for relief panels of any sizes and complexity
FormAT climbing panels are made of the best quality birch plywood with 21 mm of thickness to provide maximum durability and prevent vibrations for inspire confidence in climbers.
We manufacture a great variety of rock walls with any:
- micro and macro reliefs
- rock tipes
- natural rock colour and texture
- level of difficulty from beginners in attractions to high level sportsmen in boulders and lead walls
We can offer next textures of panels, which are producing according to own technologies:
- sand-resin texture with full color
- glass-resin texture with full color
- transparent wooden glass-resin texture
- coloured-transparent wooden glass resin texture
- glossy texture
- dual-texture
Sand-resin texture means the best rough surface, which is used for best volumes in the world and is often used for walls.
FormAT glass-resin texture is new technology and our most popular climbing surface, because it is the best balance for climbing gym owner and climbers.
Glass-resin means:
- perfect combination of rough texture and the best durable surface
- perfect blend of grip for shoes and friction for skin without over abrasiveness
- screw resistant. Firstly, even screws can not scratch this texture. Secondly, after screwing of volumes and holds this texture gives minimal splintering of the wood and leaves only small screw holes from the backside of panels.
- climbing shoes traces resistant: it leaves less black traces on panels from shoes, which can be washed by Gripwash or another climbing washers with water.
FormAT proposes next colours of panels:
- any RAL colour
- transparent wooden texture
- coloured-transparent wooden texture
- dual coloured
- print (any picture, photo or logo)
T-nuts
FormAT uses special forced and galvanised t-nuts with 3 screws. We made tests to to reproduce the maximum load that can be applied to a panel insertion a wall due to the force of a fixed climbing hold and the maximum permissible force exerted by a climber during use.
Our t-nuts passed test of 12 kN (1 200 kg) according to EN 12572 successfully.
