Formwork elements and accessories

Formwork works

Formwork is an indispensable part of any construction site, regardless of whether the structure will be made of reinforced concrete, wood or steel, every building has at least one reinforced concrete element (foundations). The formwork can be implemented from various modern formwork systems or from the good old wooden formwork . Such an important fragment of the construction process is inevitably accompanied by the use of many resources - time, labor, inventory or one-time formwork , as well as accessories for formwork and concreting - tubes to protect the studs , cone tips , profiles for visible concrete , etc.

Concrete works

Concrete works consist of delivery, feeding and laying of the concrete mixture , compaction of the concrete mixture , care of the concrete and demoulding. They must be carried out with extreme accuracy and precision, as they subsequently affect to a large extent the performance and durability of the building structure . The use of quality materials - concrete , additives and formwork , as well as high-quality auxiliary means - tubes , cones , etc. is important for the quick, easy and high-quality execution of concrete works .

Formwork pipes

When performing the concrete works, studs are used between the formwork sheets. They serve as a strengthening and stretching means, fixing the exact distance between two formwork webs to ensure the design dimensions of the reinforced concrete element. Studs are made of steel and are often expensive, and with the advancement of construction industrialization, they are also inventory (intended to be used repeatedly). Protecting them from concreting is important, and sloppy treatment of them is wrong. For this reason, quality and reliable formwork pipes are a formwork accessory that is mandatory for every single object. Formwork tubes are available in two varieties - regular tubes and cone tubes (fixed length).

Cone tips

Despite the use of formwork tubes and the high degree of control, often the concrete mixture manages to find its way to the formwork studs during the execution of concrete works. In this case, it is often necessary to concrete the studs into the element. This is unacceptable, as they are expensive and inventory formwork elements intended for repeated use. This is why the use of cone tips is mandatory, as they are placed at the end of the formwork tubes and keep the concrete mix out of them.

Profiles for visible concrete with feather

Often, straight corners and edges of a reinforced concrete element are extremely unaesthetic and spoil the good appearance of a building and facility. Their formation is not always easy, as it is accompanied by numerous additional processing and insertion of various elements into the formwork . Profiles for visible concrete with a feather are a good solution for the aesthetic shaping of the surface of reinforced concrete elements . They are attached to the formwork before the concrete is poured. They are made of PVC material , which makes them very easy to use, since after demolding they can be easily and quickly removed from the concrete surface. They are inventory, which means they can be used repeatedly, which also makes them cost-effective .
