Green Efficiency

Efficiency means a lot of things, but efficiency is not always also the “green” solution.  With Plastiform boards you can feel confident that you’re saving money, time as well as the earth’s resources.

For example think about how many trip it takes to transport enough lumber to do the average job – two, three, if you’re lucky?  What if you could create the perfect foundations every time without nails, screws or tools, in virtually any size or shape?

Plastiform boards are one quarter the weight of lumber (a single 2×4 is 8 oz a linear foot).  They’re re-useable and resilient, allowing you to reduce waste, labor and time spent on every job.

How much money are you throwing away?

Consider this: How much money are you spending on throwaway materials by the end of every project? A couple of hundred, a thousand?  Even if the client is paying for materials out of their own pocket, its all profit flying away in the back of a truck headed for a landfill.

Re-useable metal forms like aluminum forming boards can be a great alternative to wood boards, but they warp and buckle over time.  They have to be stored carefully or they rust, and whent hey break they can cut fingers and create an uneven form.

Reduce time and labor by as much as 75%

How much time are you and your crew spending on prep and forming foundations?  Think about all that time cutting, staking, screwing, and hammering things down to make sure the radius work is just right.

What about stacking your boards on top of each other? If your lumber materials aren’t uniform, you never know what you’re going to get. With Plastiform boards you know what to expect.  Each board is made with high quality polyethelene (HDPE) with silicon added for easy cleaning and ultra violet (UV) inhibitors so the sun doesn’t break them down and make them brittle (unlike pvc).  Plastiform boards don’t break, peel, splinter, warp or split.

What could you do?

What if you could have concrete forming material that’s not only strong as lumber, but as flexible as aluminum – but made with the durability of plastic?

Stack them high for foundations and retaining walls, you can strip the forms once the concrete sets and feel confident that your concrete won’t slump.  The smooth, non-stick, non-porous material leaves glass-like finishes on each side of your foundation, smooth and clean without polishing.

But with the flexibility and durability of this material, you’re not limited to boxy foundations and stairs – and this is where Plastiform boards show their true value.  With he same boards you can easily create rounded, radial forms for dramatic effects.

Plastiform boards pay for themselves within 4 uses and they reduce downtime and labor set up by as much as 75 percent!
