| Sonotube Finish Free concrete forms in lengths up to 20 feet  Sonoco, a manufacturer of fiber-based concrete construction forms and void forms, announced the addition of new manufacturing capabilities and investment to produce Sonotube Finish Free concrete forms in lengths up to 20 feet. Sonotube Finish Free concrete forms produce exceptionally smooth columns without any manual finishing. They feature a patented Duraglas coating on the inside of the forms that eliminates spiral marks, seams and imperfections that would otherwise be left on the finished surface of the concrete. This results in significant savings for contractors through the elimination of the labor and materials required for grinding, patching and manually finishing columns.Sonotube Finish Free concrete forms are available in 12- to 36-inch diameter sizes. Like other Sonotube brand concrete forms, Finish Free forms are made with Rainguard technology to prevent moisture damage. All Sonotube forms are strong but lightweight, so they can be easily moved and placed for pouring. Sonotube FinishFree concrete forms also contain the RipCord feature: a quick, safe and convenient way to remove the forms after the concrete sets. When pulled with a hammer, pry bar or other tool handle, the RipCord strap cuts right through the form wall so the form can be safely removed without the use of power tools, and without damaging the surface of the column. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
