Playing an important role in any concreting job, formwork is essentially a mould that ensures our concrete is set to perfection. Over 20 years of concreting experience, each member of the CFM team knows the importance of using a professional to install formwork. Without the necessary levels and strong support, poorly erected formwork can easily collapse causing a costly and time consuming clean up. With the right solution for every job, our professional installation ensures that formwork is strong, safe and exact to produce a perfectly set concrete product.
Available in both temporary and permanent types of formwork, both ensure that the wet concrete is cured in the desired position. Each site requires bespoke formwork, as special equipment, work platforms and safety need to be considered. No job is too big or small for CFM, however the more basic and simple the concrete structure is, the process to erect formwork is much safer and faster.
Temporary formwork structures are available to be built with plywood, timber, plastic or steel depending on the scale and type of concrete pour. Joists, bearers, bracing and foundations that are used in the process of formwork are widely known as false work and ensure a clean, exact and supportive setting structure. Once set, these elements are to be removed to uncover a self-supported and perfectly shaped concrete element.
Permanent variations of formwork are now widely used on sites to insulate a building. Permanent and manufactured formwork elements are commonly made from EPS (expanded polystyrene) and offer excellent thermal insulation to residential and commercial buildings.
