Column Formwork
Framax/Frami Columns, Fair Faced (KS) Columns, Top 50 Columns
Acrow has three types of column formwork available to cover any situation.
Universal panels from the Framax and Frami Xlife framed formwork ranges are ideal for forming varied cross-sections of columns in a 5cm grid.
KS Hinged Columns allow for high speed, variable cross-section formwork with a folding mechanism and mobility with wheels.
Framax/Frami Columns Up to 1050mm x 1050mm
KS Hinged Columns Up to 600mm x 600mm

Framax and Frami Xlife Columns
Versatile usage
made possible by holes in the form-facing
- enables column cross-sections of up to 105 cm x 105 cm, by adapting in a 5 cm grid
- practical accessories make the formwork quick to assemble and reset
Reduced commissioning quantities and costs
by using panels that are already on-site anyway
- maximum utilisation obtained from the formwork by using the universal panels for columns, corners, stop-ends and wall junctions
- long-lived, thanks to high-grade Framax Xlife sheet and hot-dip galvanised frames
- universal panels can also be used in normal wall formwork by simply closing off the holes in the form-facing

Faster working due to the low form-tie count, with wide spacing (up to 1.35 m) between form-ties.
Easy handling and planning thanks to logical system-grid. The 15 cm grid, with 5 different widths of panel, results in optimum adaptability to every layout.
High safety at your site. The accident risk is reduced, and legally compliant working conditions.
