What’s it called?

[bluedog225]

What do you call the piece of formwork that gives this nice eased edge?

Thanks

Chamfered?

Chamfered Concrete Form

 

[Leaflessshadetree]

A chamfer on the top edge can be achieved with a trowel or edger.

 

[PCustoms]

Chamfer.

You can for the vertical corners, not sure on the top edge. I'd trowel those.

I cut a 45* off the edges of a 2x4 and it's incorporated into the formwork. Vibrate or lightly hammer on the forms after placing the crete.

We do it all the time, industry standard, we add a chamfered piece of wood called skuback. It’s nailed vertical and horizontal, the top is set to grade and trowel to it. Most agencies we work for have it in their spec.

 

[Stuart in MN]

I think it's skewback.

 

[Renegade1LI]

I think it's skewback.

You are correct

Your Google broke too?



When used inside the form corners, it gives the result like in the OP.

Thanks! I had it in my head that renegade meant he made a cut on the form, but in my head it needed to be additive, which it is. I get it now.

It may be a regional thing but we always called it cant strip or possibly spelled kant strip. This is in Michigan with many years of commercial construction lots of multiple yard pours.

 

[nadogail]

By what ever name a non absorbent filler will keep the concrete in place.

 

[Chaznsc]

We’ll call it “purty”

 

[Firebrick43]

Sure it isn’t precast?

 

[545_days]

It is no more difficult to pour in place that way than to precast. As mentioned earlier it's standard in industry.
