LP® ArchForm™ Concrete Edge Form is an engineered wood strand product designed as a lightweight and flexible concrete forming solution for various flatwork concrete applications. It is not a type of concrete itself, but rather a specialized material used to create the desired shape and edges for concrete pours before the concrete cures.
Understanding LP® ArchForm™ Concrete Edge Form
This innovative product is specifically manufactured to serve as a reliable and adaptable edge form in concrete construction projects. Its composition from engineered wood strands provides it with a unique balance of strength and flexibility, making it suitable for a range of uses where traditional rigid forms might be less efficient or practical.
Key Characteristics and Applications
