Home » All Products » Forming » Metal rib form » SureBuilt Metal Rib form
Product Description
The expanded metal sheets are easy to cut, lap, splice, bend and pierce, minimizing related forming costs. When concrete is placed, the ribs and mesh are embedded in the structure, providing a rough surface for subsequent concrete placement.
Features:
■ Reduces labor and material costs compared to traditional forming methods for wall joints and “buried” applications.
■ Saves cycle time because the sheet remains in place, only supports and bracing are removed, and form stripping is eliminated.
■ Allows concrete placement to be visually monitored, reducing the risk of voids and “honeycombing.”
■ Simplifies form joints and piercing so rebar operations can continue, or be revised, with minimal obstructions.
■ Provides a quick-to-install joint option in the event of a schedule change, ready-mix interruption or other unanticipated problems.
■ Utilizes the existing rebar in structures, like grade beams and pier caps, to eliminate placing and removing temporary supports.
■ Eliminates the cost associated with handling, setting, stripping and cleaning conventional formwork.
Manufacturer Info
SureBuilt
SureBuilt Concrete Forms & Accessories is a USA manufacturer of concrete construction products, including form ties, handset forms, bar support, Stud Rail, tilt-up hardware, precast hardware, and pipe braces.

THE SUREBUILT™ LEGACY
Known as Universal Form Clamp, then as Universal Building Products, and most recently as SureBuilt, concrete forming products have been made at the Bellwood, IL location for almost 40 years. With more than 320,000 square feet under roof, there has been room to change and grow. These concrete forming products have been shipped to independent dealers and distributors, for resale and delivery to contractors, throughout North America, and at times internationally. There has always been a preference to work with local people who know local markets, not corporate entities. A history of being privately-owned established a culture of being responsive to customer needs, not shareholder demands. These needs include product design, application engineering, dealer financing, private labeling, marketing support, and reliable shipping. About 25 key individuals, each with 20+ years of experience and a personal association with the owner, manage daily operations, and demonstrate this commitment to customer responsiveness. And it doesn’t stop there. We always seem to be installing new equipment and updating existing work cells, making the ongoing “Made In U.S.A.” mission even more efficient, effective, and competitive. Find out for yourself why we’re manufacturing and shipping more concrete construction products than ever before.
