Concrete Curbing Forms
straight and flexible style. Below we have discussed the various concrete
curbing forms in detail.
Plastic Forms
Plastic forms come in many models and sizes. The lengths of the polyforms
are reinforced with aluminum tubes providing the forms with rigidity
of 2x4. Normally the inside channel of all forms is same and accepts
three types of stake pocket. The form is outfitted with special TWIST
pocket, which provides multiple stacking options that can be easily inserted
at any location along the length of the form. This unique pocket can
be attached both before and after the forms are set to grade. The Slide
pocket is inserted at the end of the poly form. The Slide stake facilitates
longitudinal adjustment to any desired staking position. It also provides
with extra reinforcement at the joint and convenient connection to wood
with predrilled nail holes. The poly form is outfitted with one more
pocket called as Stacking. It is slide type pocket, which allows poly
forms to be stacked to achieve height of 8, 10, and 12 in.
Poly forms are available in both flexible and straight style. In a straight
poly form in the end connection, the reinforcing tubes are "offset".
They also function as a rigid alignment between forms. In a flexible
poly form there is no reinforcement and the tubes can be bent to achieve
any curve down to a 3' radius. The end connection is outfitted with short
polyethylene inserts, which provide flexible alignment between forms.
Steel Forms
Steel forms come in various models for all types of curb and gutter works.
They are available in heights from 4in to 7 1/2in in 12-gauge steel,
and from 4in to 24in in 10-gauge steel. Straight flatwork forms are available
in standard 10 foot lengths with either 2in or 4in bases. You can also
obtain shorter length but on request. Straight flat work forms are available
with 2 or 3 pockets on upto height of 12in. For forms with height more
than 12in, they are outfitted with 3 pockets.
Most forms especially manufactured by a reputed manufacturer come with
1year warranty from the date purchase to be free of defects in materials
and workmanship.
