Sonotube fibre forms are made from many layers of
high-quality fiber, spirally wound and laminated with a special
adhesive. The inside coatings vary according to various uses.
Because our Sonotube forms are lightweight, they can be erected and
braced easily. Standard sizes can be erected manually. Sonotube
fibre forms are one-piece units; therefore, there are no fabrication
or assembly costs. They can be cut or sawed right on the job to fit
beams and allow for utility outlets.
Special uses
Sonotube fibre forms have a variety of special uses.
- Columns – Sections of a Sonotube form can be used in forming
plaster, half-round, quarter-round and ob-round columns. In
forming such columns, the form section is used in connection
with a plywood or wooden form. Jigs or form clamps are utilized.
- Stub piers – Sonotube forms are also used as stub piers for
elevated ramps, outdoor signs, pole and fence-pole bases,
flagstones and round steps.
