The use of fabric
to form concrete is a revolutionary innovation in concrete
forming. Fabric forming is as powerful a
change in this century as the gypsum wall board was in the
last. Fabric forming represents a true paradigm shift to the concrete forming industry.
- Fabric Forms
- Fabric can only operate in tension,
and has no neutral or compression planes. As a result,
fabric is extremely efficient in transferring fluid
loads to the restraining ties. Typically fabric is 200
to 300 times lighter than a comparable rigid form, offering
efficiencies unheard of in the history of the concrete
forming.
- Fast-Tube™
- These efficiencies allow the formwork
to be left in place, reducing expensive recycling costs
of stripping, transporting and storage. Furthermore,
the fabric provides sustaining value such as a damp
proof membrane, preventing water wicking into the concrete
and providing a drier and healthier indoor environment.
- Fast-TubeT is a revolutionary column
form replacing cardboard tubes. Manufactured from high
strength fabric, Fast-TubeT comes in 120' rolls and
in diameters ranging from 6" to 12". Installation, pouring
and stripping is quick and simple.
- BENEFITS
- Fast to install
- Easy to brace
- Weatherproof - unaffected by water
and sun
- Cut to any length from a 120' roll
with a utility knife, no waste
- Easy to strip - pull weld apart
- Lightweight - 120' of 10" tube weighs
under 17 lbs.
- Compact - 120' pack is the size of
a box of nails
- Fastfoot
- Fastfoot is a fabric footing form that prevents rising
damp. Stakes are driven into the ground, 2x4 screed
boards attached at the correct height, and Fastfoot
is stapled to each 2x4 to form and protect the concrete
from ground moisture.
- I - Fastfoot can be used as a complete footing form,
forming the sides and base of the footing.
- II - Fastfoot can be used as an edge form, forming
the sides only. Fastfoot edging is used where the footing
(or slab) is too wide to be formed with a single width
of fabric.
- BENEFITS
- Prevents rising damp by providing a wicking break
between the footing concrete and the damp ground,
reducing mold and mildew
- Fast to install, less expensive than forming with
lumber
- Lightweight - 120' of fabric weighs only 12.4 lbs.
- Adapts to uneven ground
- No forming lumber
- Less concrete, no leakage
- Better concrete quality
- In summer, prevents rapid desiccation of concrete
- In winter, prevents contamination of concrete with
mud and water
- Stay in place form, no stripping of fabric
- No concrete damage to 2x4s, stakes
- No leaching of concrete contaminates into ground
and water table
