COLUMN FORMERS

EURO

ACCESSORIES

Introduction:

Euro Accessories are the sole distributors of the BAG ® Column Formers in the UK

and Ireland. BAG ® have 15 years experience in the production and distribution of

Column Formers throughout Europe.

BAG ® Column Formers are a single use formwork system that gives an excellent

smooth fair face surface finish. Our Column Formers are manufactured by welding

together several layers of high quality polyethylene coated kraft paper, which are

spirally wound and bonded together by heating the polyethylene. Once this step is

complete, a water resistant foil is also spirally wound over the kraft paper, sealing the

column against humidity. This manufacturing process requires no additional adhesives

which reduces the wall thickness, making the BAG ® Column Formers light and easy to

handle.

Designs:

Lined - BAG ® Column Formers have a PVC liner which is fitted the whole length of the

inner diameter the Column Former, this provides an impeccably smooth finish. BAG ®

Column Formers will only leave a hairline seam on the concrete from the point where

the liner joint meets.

Unlined - BAG ® Column Formers are also available unlined for applications

where surface finish is not critical. This Column Former will leave a spirall effect

on the finished column.

Square - BAG ® can offer sqaure or rectangular columns on request, made from

our standard Column Fomer with an additional polystyrene insert, manufactured

to your specific requirements.

Bespoke - BAG ® can also offer made to order bespoke designs. Please contact

our sales team for more details.

Advantages:

Light easy to handle as opposed to steel shuttering.

Labour saving.

Easy to strip, no mould oils required.

Quality fair faced finish.

Can be used for protective cover for the completed columns.

Water Resistant:

The column formers are water resistant due to the manufacturing

process and the outer layer of foil, both of which seal the column

former against humidity. Protection will be required when stocking

in direct contact with rain and water.

DISCLAIMER:

Please note BAG ® Column Formers are Water Resistant, not Water Proof.

The concrete pour speed should not exceed more than 4 metres per hour.

Concrete can be poured into the BAG ® Column former via skip or bucket

for diameters of up to 450mm and lengths of 4 metres. Larger sizes will

require concrete to be placed by a pump and hose.

Concrete should be placed slowly to eliminate air entrapment between the

tube liner. Do not force column formers into position.

Caution:

Installation:

BAG ® Column Formers are very light and can be transported without any

handling equipment. The tubes can be secured on the base using

timber which is fixed to the floor or decking as required. The top of

the tube can either be secured using timber or with our own

tension belt system. When using our system you are able to fix

three sloped bearings with a 120 degree angle. Normally two

fixing points are sufficient at a 90 degree angle. If the Column

Former is 7 metres or more we recommend that an additional

fixing point is used at the middle point of the tube.

Storage:

BAG ® Column Formers are manufactured with a water resistant

coating for extra durability. Our Column Formers can be stored vertically

or horizontally, Protection will be required when stocking in direct contact

with rain and water.

Stripping:

BAG ® Column Formers can be stripped after 48 hours.

Our Column Formers are designed and manufactured with a steel wire that runs inside the layers

to provide a quick and easy stripping system. Once stripped the former can be reused as a

protective cover for the finished concrete pillar thus removing any chance of damage afterwards.
