Western Forms
the most cost-effective concrete forming system in the world today!

Since introducing the first 3-foot wide, light-weight aluminum panel in 1963, Western Forms has proven that the use of aluminum forms combined with poured-in-place concrete is the most cost-effective construction method in the world today. Here's why:

1. Local, unskilled labor can be easily taught the simple, repetitive process required to build effectively, quickly and efficiently.
2. Western's aluminum panels are light enough to be easily handled by one person.
3. Cranes are not required to move formwork. However, standard forms can be "gang-formed" and crane handled on projects, when desired.
4. A predictable production rate of one unit per day, per set of forms, is readily achieved.
5. The Western Forms System allows exterior walls, interior partition walls and ceilings to be poured monolithically to shorten production time.
6. Western's modular system permits an unlimited range of design configurations.
7. Durability of Western forms (1,000 to 2,000 reuses), with minimal maintenance, allows contractors to amortize the cost of forms over many projects.
8. The only basic construction materials required are concrete and steel reinforcement.
9. The Western System includes many attractive textured forms, including attractive Vertex brick pattern.
10. Reusable molds are supplied for windows, doors and other openings/cavities. These further eliminate the need for skilled labor.
