Allform Aluminium Formwork

Allform is a panel formwork with frames of extruded aluminium and a birch plywood face. A panel weighs 22.5 kg a square metre, so 2 people can set it by hand, and it takes 50 kN/m² of concrete pressure.

Allmarc 3D model · to scale

Built to your size

Ten standard panels, or made to your size.

Panels are 300, 450, 600, 750 and 900 mm wide and 1,200 or 1,800 mm high (ALFM3012 to ALFM9018), and mix freely along a wall or round a column. The model is our own Allform column form.

50 kN/m²: concrete pressure
22.5 kg/m²: weight
12 mm birch, 9 layers: plywood
10: standard panels

Strong, and light enough to carry

Allform is a panel formwork of extruded aluminium with a birch plywood face. It takes heavy concrete loads yet two people set a panel by hand, and it forms walls, columns and many other shapes. This is our own model of an Allform column form.

Aluminium extruded profiles

Primary and stiffener profiles are extruded aluminium: light to handle and transport, strong under load, and to the IS codes.

Weight: 22.5 kg/m²
Maximum pressure: 50 kN/m²

Birch plywood face

The face is 12 mm imported birch plywood in 9 layers with a 120 GSM phenolic film. It takes up little moisture, gives a smooth concrete finish and is used again and again.

04 / 09

Continuous slot arrangement

A slot runs the length of every frame, so clamps, walers and accessories fix at any point and the same panel does many jobs.

05 / 09

Tie rod guide and edge protection

A tie rod guide keeps the faces aligned, and edge protection guards the panel edges so they last longer.

06 / 09

Accessories

A small set of accessories makes setting up quick and accurate.

Allform clamp: joins two panels, vertically or horizontally
Universal waler: stiffens, aligns and carries force across joints, in several sizes
External corner connector: a 90° outside corner, for stop ends and columns
Adjustable clamp: a flexible, rigid joint between panels
Internal corner connector: a 90° inside corner, for T-joints and wall offsets

07 / 09

Made on our own lines

Panels are machined on modern tools and welded by our Robologic and ABB robotic arms, so every panel is the same.

Ten standard sizes

Widths 900, 750, 600, 450 and 300 mm at heights of 1,800 mm (ALFM9018 to ALFM3018) and 1,200 mm (ALFM9012 to ALFM3012). If none fits, we make panels to your size.
