The Plaka-Clamp formwork can be combined with a railing solution using the same shoes. This Plaka Clamp railing system allows you to work quickly and safely. Please refer to the additional products listed below.
2. Fitting formwork boards onto the shoes. Perfect coating of steel reinforcements. The shoes are designed for 27 mm thick formwork boards. For other thickness values, use the appropriate accessories (refer to the Accessories section).
LVL Edge Board timber is generally coloured red and is typically used in slab on ground formwork. Due to its lightweight, strength, stability and straightness, it is often used for forming house slabs, pathways, carparks etc.
EnergyEdge Rigid Perimeter Insulation is a leave-in-place concrete perimeter formwork that provides protected rigid perimeter insulation around the edge of the concrete slab. Meets the requirement for concrete slab edge insulation (SEI). Read more >
Our adjustable formwork bracing technology streamlines construction work, saving you time and increasing your productivity. Trust EdgePro Formwork for durable, precise, and easy-to-use adjustable formwork bracing solutions.
Revolutionizing the construction industry one job site at a time, the Edge Pro Formwork Adjustable Brace was created to solve a common problem: the need for a reliable, durable, and easy-to-use formwork bracing system.
The Adjustable Formwork Brace can be easily anchored to any surface, including concrete, plywood/timber, granular bedding, dirt sub-grade, sand, gravel, and steel. Normal star pickets, Waratahs, hex head screws, and anchor/dyna bolts can be used depending on the surface.
EnergyEdge is a leave-in-place concrete perimeter formwork that provides protected rigid perimeter insulation around the edge of the concrete slab. EnergyEdge formwork system insulates slab and foundation edges, meeting the requirement for concrete slab edge insulation (SEI), and ICC building and energy codes.
We are using EnergyEdge because it just saves us so much time. We had over 180 hours of work on our last job on each building installing insulation, flashing, and finish material for slab edge insulation. You may spend a little more on the material but it is all done in one pass. We save way more in labor costs and the finished product works.
The formwork can significantly reduce the size of the excavation. The costs for the time and effort required for soil excavation and backfill alone are considerably higher than those for the Speed Edge Formwork.
Speed Edge Formwork is an innovative solution that is made from sheet steel for the installation of permanent lateral formwork for reinforced concrete base and floor slabs in structural and civil engineering situations. Available in Heights of 140mm to 500mm & standard lengths 2.25mt long
recostal Speed Edge Formwork made from galvanised sheet metal is used for the installation of permanent lateral formwork for reinforced concrete base and floor slabs in structural and civil engineering.
Big River supplies the widest range of formwork and related LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) in concrete structural applications. Big River only supplies LVL which is certified by the Engineered Wood Products of Australia to meet AS/NZS 4357.

The slab edge stop is mounted on a load-bearing bracket via a hook-head bolt connection. This can be moved along the bracket to any position between 0 and 50 cm. This is required if a slab cantilever has to be cast with and concreted. A scaffold rail is fastened to the stop via a screw-in sleeve and lateral protection boards and a bottom board can then be inserted into this rail. This ensures occupational safety.

Hi I'm trying to follow this video guide below to make a curved formwork for a new concrete edging in the garden but I'm struggling to find a soft timber (sheet?) that can be curved like the one in this video. The edging will be about 10 metres long. A basic timber will do as I'll probably recycle it after the border when completed, can anyone please link the product from Bunnings? Thank you.
Hi @ColinL
I reckon I'd just use some treated pine garden edging as it's reasonably flexible & cheap enough.
If you need curves beyond what it naturally wants to do then the trick is to use a power-saw to make a series of cuts around 1/3 or 1/2 of the way through the timber from side to side about 10mm apart on what will be the outside of the form-work around the area the curve is needed.
The cut depth can be a little tricky as it varies with the timber so you may need to play around first but again, the stuff is cheap enough to be able to do that.
You'll likely need to make sure you use lots of stakes through the curve to guide it accurately.
Very quick diagram...
And a tip from experience... If you're looking for something in-store that you've found on-line write down the item number ( I/N ) from the web-page & ask a team member about it's location. In my experience stuff can hide in unexpected locations in different stores due to size & layout differences.
It's great that you've received excellent advice from @Noyade and @Adam_W. Just to add more options, you can also use Saxon 150mm x 10m Black Garden Edge. I also suggest using 2440 x 1220mm 3mm Plywood Pine Premium BC Grade. You can cut it into 100mm strips and you get 12 strips that are 2.4 meters long.
Thanks heaps @EricL - I do have quite a few rolls of those Saxon garden edge which is what I'm trying to replace with concrete edging. Are you suggesting that I can use them as formwork because they're much easier to bend? That could be a pretty good idea! Except it is hard to maintain perfectly straight as it is too curly, I could try to use more stakes to keep it as straight as I can?
The Saxon 150mm x 10m Black Garden Edge can be used for formwork. However, it must have enough stakes to hold its form. I recommend using timber for the straight runs. It will be difficult to keep the garden edging straight because of its construction. My overall suggestion would be to use both mediums to finish your project. Use garden edging for the twists, bends, and turns. Use timber for the straight runs.
The balcony and ceiling edge formworks are an ideal alternative to conventional timber formwork. The formwork elements remain in the concrete as permanent formwork and produce a clean finish of the concrete components.
The edge formwork is fixed to the slab form sheets or the beam sheets run wider than necessary to fix the edge forms to. In the photo above note the cleats nailed to the deck ply to stop the bottom kicking out, and the cleats on the top of the shutters at the corners, hold one to the other..
At the right you can see a couple of V-Shore frames on the outside of the block wall to support the edge form. This is an easy way to do it if you have plenty V-shore on site, and more to the point if you have the room.
Where the depth of the concrete is less, another way of holding the edges is a bit easier. The shutters are held up with timbers to the ground. They are held tight into the wall by tie wire that is tied around the vertical reinforcing bars that are already concreted into the block walls.
Just a quick note here. Hollow concrete walls have almost no strength before the concrete corefill has been placed. On all but the most trivial of jobs, the corefill goes in first. Providing a solid base for further work.
Don't be tempted to save on concrete pump hire by pouring the walls and slab in one session. The concrete mix is different for the walls and the slab. The forces involved in clamping the edge forms and even just the forming of the decks can easily dislodge blocks.
The stipple portion of the drawing is the concrete, shown as a monolithic pour. The heavy black lines are the forms and the red is depicting a homemade fixed clamp to hold the inner 6" form board. There are neat metal forms (not so bulky) that can be purchased or maybe even rented. Sorry I don't have a pic.
Use 3/4" plywood for the clamp and 1x for the inner form. Set your outer form first, putting in all the stakes and braces. Nail or screw the inner form to the plywood clamps so that when you drop the clamp over the outer form the clamps hits the side of each stake where it will be screwed in place. Shouldn't move after that.
You can get 24 clamps from a sheet of ply (12x16). You'll need enough of them so they aren't spaced too far apart where your inner form would bow out between them. I'd say between 12" to 16" max. oc. You can go for the overkill by getting some form ties and putting them across the forms as well.
