Concrete columns can be produced in different geometries and surface qualities with Tubbox® column formers. They are a time-saving and cost-effective alternative to conventional column formwork.
The disposable column formers are equipped with a ripcord for easier removal.
Advantages
Fast set up and stripping accelerates construction
Easy and handy for transport and installation
Eliminates time and costs of cleaning and return transport
Several columns can be produced in one concreting period
Use of a plastic insert in Tubbox® column formers creates a "smooth" concrete surface with occasional blowholes. With a column former diameter of more than 600 mm, two vertical joints of the column former insert are visible.
Tubbox® "spiral" column formers produce a concrete surface with a normal blowhole pattern and a slight impression of the helical structure of the pipe.
The column former is an economical and functional solution.
In Tubbox® "blowhole-free" column formers, the inserted Zemdrain® CPF liner ensures a largely blowhole-free surface and increases the surface hardness of the edge-concrete layer.
The balcony and ceiling edge formworks are an ideal alternative to conventional timber formwork. As permanent formwork, the elements remain in the concrete and produce a clean finish of the concrete components.

To insulate external columns, the insulation is often applied after concreting. This is difficult due to the geometrical form of the columns. With a special Tubbox® column formers, the insulation is already integrated during manufacture.
