Concrete shuttering made easy.
“Such a simple and effective
product. I wish this had been
invented sooner.”
K-FORM makes concrete shuttering easy -
easy to save time and labour, easy to use,
easy to pour more concrete per day and
easy to save money.
K-FORM out-performs traditional steel
shuttering in nearly every aspect of
application and can be used in a great many
locations (such as petrol forecourts) where
steel shuttering cannot.

10. Once the bedding mortar has cured, you can start pouring concrete.
11. K-FORM stays in place, therefore adjoining bays can be poured one after the other.
12. When the concrete has cured, the top strip can either be left in place or removed. With K-FORM you can pour more concrete:
The gap can subsequently be filled with a joint sealant. Just set out your shuttering
and pour bay after bay.
