COLUMN FORMERS
Introduction:
BAG ® Column Formers are a single use formwork system that gives an excellent smooth fair face surface finish. Our Column Formers are manufactured by welding
together several layers of high quality polyethylene coated kraft paper, which are
spirally wound and bonded together by heating the polyethylene. Once this step is
complete, a water resistant foil is also spirally wound over the kraft paper, sealing the column against humidity. This manufacturing process requires no additional adhesives which reduces the wall thickness, making the BAG ® Column Formers light and easy to handle.
Designs:
Lined - BAG ® Column Formers have a PVC liner which is fitted the whole length of the inner diameter the Column Former, this provides an impeccably smooth finish. BAG ®
Column Formers will only leave a hairline seam on the concrete from the point where the liner joint meets.
Unlined - BAG ® Column Formers are also available unlined for applications
where surface finish is not critical. This Column Former will leave a spirall
effect on the finished column.
Square - BAG ® can offer sqaure or rectangular columns on request, made
from our standard Column Fomer with an additional polystyrene insert,
manufactured to your specific requirements.
Bespoke - BAG ® can also offer made to order bespoke designs. Please
contact our sales team for more details.
Advantages:
Light easy to handle as opposed to steel shuttering.
Labour saving.
Easy to strip, no mould oils required.
Quality fair faced finish.
Can be used for protective cover for the completed columns.
Water Resistant:
The column formers are water resistant due to the manufacturing process and the outer layer of foil, both of which seal the column former against humidity. Protection will be required when stocking
in direct contact with rain and water.
DISCLAIMER:
Please note BAG ® Column Formers are Water Resistant, not Water Proof.

The concrete pour speed should not exceed more than 4 metres per hour.
Concrete can be poured into the BAG ® Column former via skip or bucket
for diameters of up to 450mm and lengths of 4 metres. Larger sizes will
require concrete to be placed by a pump and hose.
Concrete should be placed slowly to eliminate air entrapment between the
tube liner. Do not force column formers into position.
Caution:

Installation:
BAG ® Column Formers are very light and can be transported without any
handling equipment. The tubes can be secured on the base using
timber which is fixed to the floor or decking as required. The top of
the tube can either be secured using timber or with our own
tension belt system. When using our system you are able to fix
three sloped bearings with a 120 degree angle. Normally two
fixing points are sufficient at a 90 degree angle. If the Column
Former is 7 metres or more we recommend that an additional
fixing point is used at the middle point of the tube.
Storage:
BAG ® Column Formers are manufactured with a water resistant
coating for extra durability. Our Column Formers can be stored vertically
or horizontally, Protection will be required when stocking in direct contact
with rain and water.
Stripping:
BAG ® Column Formers can be stripped after 48 hours.
Our Column Formers are designed and manufactured with a steel wire that runs inside the layers
to provide a quick and easy stripping system. Once stripped the former can be reused as a
protective cover for the finished concrete pillar thus removing any chance of damage afterwards.
