Concrete Wall Forms

Understanding how to pour and handle concrete safely and efficiently goes a long way toward getting the job done right. Concrete wall forms are used to hold poured concrete in place as it hardens in order to create strong, stable, exact forms. One cubic foot of concrete weighs about 150 pounds — that means an average concrete project may have thousands of square feet of concrete walls that are going to need a lot of support as they’re being formed.

Concrete forms are typically made of strong wood or metal; which type to use usually is determined by the amount of concrete it will need to support. A form supporting factory walls, industrial buildings, bridges or large foundations, for example, will need much more support than the shallow, flat forms used to create a concrete driveway or patio. In the former case, steel-reinforced forms are often used to support the massive weight of the concrete. Plastic and fiberglass forms may also be used in some concrete wall forming applications.
