Your KEY to Unlocking Concrete Solutions
are patented steel forms designed to
save Contractors
TIME and MONEY.
These reusable forms, an innovation in the concrete industry, are a building system that can be used
with
- Thickened Edge Slabs
-
ICFs (Insulated Concrete Forms)
-
Traditional Concrete Walls
-
Traditional footings that support any other type of wall
This is the only form you will ever need - they're made of steel! Your payback with a set of Key Footing Forms can be realized after just 5 medium-sized houses. Yet, this footing system will last a life time and can handle up to a 5800 square foot footprint.
Key Footing Forms maximize your profit because your crew can work faster, cheaper and safer. Once your job sets, you can easily pull off a Key Footing Form, throw them in the truck, and head out for the next job.
KEY FOOTINGS UNLOCK THESE FIVE DOORS.
KEY 1. Save money on pump charges, labor, materials.
KEY 2. Build Greener with less transportation, waste, landfill.
KEY 3. Improve quality - no cold joint, centered walls, better rebar.
KEY 4. Safer by eliminating dangerous footing re-bar dowels.
KEY 5. Faster by eliminating numerous redundant steps.
Pouring walls and footings all at the same time eliminates cost, construction steps, and labor. Key Footing Forms make this amazing leap so you may save up to $500 pump charge on every job. Because your ICF or conventional pan-formed walls are pumped at the same time as the footings, the pump truck only comes out once.
There are not many business investments like Key Footing Forms that can pay out in one year.
Engineers and architects love the extra strength you provide with no cold joint between wall and footing, one continuous vertical re-bar from bottom of footing to top of wall, and the guaranteed centering of the wall on the footing every time.
The monolithic pour of these two major units together as one is unique and superior to all others.
Contractors eliminate four major steps in their project.
1) There is only one building layout. That’s right - once the footing forms are placed, wall building begins.
2) No more dangerous three foot re-bars sticking out of the footing requiring OSHA safety caps. No more drilling in footings to place three foot vertical re-bar. No more worries about someone falling on a sharp re-bar. No more trying to match wall verticals with footing verticals. No more waste of re-bar with overlaps. With Key Footing Forms there is just one easy and quick step of dropping your vertical re-bar from the top of the wall.
3) It is simply amazing that there is now only one concrete placement for poured walls. Once Key Footing Forms and wall forms are set, a single pour finishes the job.
4) Tear down day was never quicker. Removal of wall bracing and footing forms are all done at once. You can take it all out in one load.
If that is not enough saving for you, consider the huge time saving in securing all of your footing forms with simple pound-in wedge keys. There are no nails or screws to place. There are no boards to cut or check for straight. These simple-to-assemble Key Footing Forms are as simple as "pounding a square peg in a square hole". A two man crew can set up the footings for a home or building in minutes.
To give you an idea of your easy use of Key Footing Forms - did you know that common concrete wall forms weigh 98 pounds per foot, assembled? However, Key Forms weigh only
7 pounds per foot, about the same as ICF forms! You are able to reduce the fatigue factor for your busy crew, which will maintain high production until day's end.
The greenest building envelope of ICF's just got a lot greener. By eliminating footings formed in wood, you’re not only saving money by not replacing lumber, but you are saving trees. Because there is no overlap of vertical re-bar, you are saving natural resources in steel, perhaps up to $100 per job. Don’t forget your carbon footprint calculation. Those diesel-guzzling concrete trucks and pumpers will only be coming to your job site once, saving on CO2 and pollution entering the atmosphere.
