Concrete special ties are essential for every concrete pour that uses forms. Concrete pours require many hours of preparation and strategic planning. No matter what size pour you are attempting or how long the job will take, getting everything right heavily depends on accurate measuring and exceptional forming. With concrete special ties, forms are held exactly where you need them for the entire drying period.
Ties press up against forming boards and other supports to ensure proper spacing. There are several types of commonly used special ties. Some companies can also manufacture custom special ties for unique or complex jobs. Ties for special pours frequently come with water seals or cones attached to them. Customers often use snap ties with a cone or washer, form ties made for specific form systems, A-brackets, C-brackets, ST wedges, heavy steel wedges, 1-inch break backs with a plastic cone or metal spreader, quick-lock ties, clips, and brackets to make sure their concrete dries in the correct shape.
Concrete pours can take on all kinds of challenging structural elements, so many people do use custom ties as well as the more typical ones. Shops that manufacture custom ties help their customers address the challenges of creating all kinds of concrete forms. While many people put together their own form systems with wood, there are also pre-manufactured forming systems that a shop can help you add special ties to. These systems will typically utilize plywood and metal braces that will work with an assortment of ties.
