Concrete forms are made from many layers of high-quality fiber, spirally wound and laminated with a special adhesive. The inside coatings vary accordin g to various uses. Because our tube forms are lightweight, they can be erected and braced easily. Standard sizes can be erected manually. Form tubes are one-piece units; therefore, there are no fabrication or assembly costs. They can be cut or sawed right on the job to fit beams and allow for utility outlets.
- Columns – Sections of a form can be used in forming plaster, half-round, quarter-round and ob-round columns. In forming such columns, the form se
ction is used in connection with a plywood or wooden form. Jigs or form clamps are utilized.
- Stub piers – forms are also used as stub piers for elevated ramps, outdoor signs, pole and fence-pole bases, flagstones and round steps.
