Edge Form
Manufactured from 1.15mm Base Metal Thickness (BMT) galvanised steel in 6m lengths, providing an edge to screed the concrete to the correct slab thickness. Standard sizes are from 110mm to 200mm in 10mm height increments.
The foot of the edge form is fixed to the structure by self-drilling metal screws or powder actuated fasteners. The Flatdeck sheeting may sit on this foot and be fixed to the edge form by rivets or self-drilling metal screws.
Edge Form Support Strap
The top edge is restrained from outward movement (when the concrete is being placed) by a specifically designed 30 x 0.55mm galvanised metal edge form support strap, which is fixed to the Flatdeck or structure. The straps are normally at 600mm centres.
