The construction industry has utilized a number of different materials over the years to complete projects. For some time, construction workers relied on concrete forms made of reeds to shape materials in. Lumber, a more durable option, eventually replaced reeds as the material of choice for concrete forms, however this material had many drawbacks. Eventually, Flexiform plastic concrete forms came into the picture.
Plastic concrete forms helped construction workers overcome many of the issues they faced with more traditional materials, benefitting builders everywhere. Plastic forms make it possible to create any shape with ease, making it easier for construction workers to operate more efficiently. Flexiform’s plastic concrete forms have a number of benefits that construction workers nationwide love, which can be seen below.
Versatility
Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), Flexiform plastic can bend into almost any shape, firmly hold concrete in place, and then snap back to its original configuration when construction workers are done. It can be used to craft tight 11 inch curves that are not possible with traditional wood forms. With such a versatile plastic form at their disposal, construction workers have limitless capabilities for creation.
Lightweight
When setting up concrete forms across a large area, lugging the form materials in and out can take a lot of time. With Flexiform plastic concrete forms workers can cut that time down, as it is extremely lightweight and easy to carry. Their lightweight design is easy to carry and makes setup/cleanup faster than ever.
Consistency
When using lumber for concrete forms, the knots and other imperfections in the wood can wreak havoc on your finished product. Many construction workers try to compensate for this by cutting out defunct pieces or performing additional finish work in the end, but thankfully, there is an easier way. Flexiform’s material always has a consistent, smooth finish, which means workers never have to accept form imperfections as an unsolvable issue.
Usability
When made from wood, concrete forms can only be reused a limited number of times, then they must be thrown away. Flexiform plastic concrete forms, on the other hand, can be reused at least 20 times before they need replacement. But unlike old concrete-covered lumber, you do not need to throw the plastic material in the landfill when you are done, as it is completely recyclable. You can preserve the environment—and your bottom line—with your simple switch to plastic for your concrete forming needs.
Cost-Effectiveness
Without having to lug around heavy concrete forms or replace them after just a few uses, your construction projects will end up being far less costly. You can save on both manpower and materials, keeping your project well within your budget. Flexiform plastic concrete forms provide an excellent return on investment for construction workers everywhere.
