2 Victory Bear is proud to introduce K-FORM to North America. Proven by a decade of use in the United Kingdom, K-FORM is an all-in-one screed rail and concrete forming system. Simple to use, K-FORM saves time and labor costs by allowing you to pour more concrete per day and finish the job faster. K-FORM outperforms steel and wood formwork in most aspects of application and can be used in many locations (such as gas stations) where steel or wood formwork cannot. K-Form Screed Rail is out of this world! It s so easy to put down, it does two jobs at once, and we could not get the work done as fast as we do, without K-Form. I don t know of any other concrete form out there that does what K-Form does. Alan Bullen - Commercial Developer A.B. Developments, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Save time and money using K-Form K-Form - Straight and Level every time K-Form set up to be used as: Construction, Control and Expansion Joints, all at one time 2

3 Once the contractor uses K-Form, he keeps coming back for more, the product sells itself! Andy Simms - Business Manager Burdens (Civil Engineering products / Building Materials) Plymouth, Devon, United Kingdom We can pour concrete continuously, without spending time stripping formwork, and setting up again. K-Form saved us thousands in labor costs. The job turns out brilliant using a new, true form every time. It would be safe to say we would never go back to steel forms again. Duncan Piggott, Stuart Ward Scott & Scott Ground Work Contractors, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom (68,243 sq. 6 thick using The K-135 Screed Rail) BBA Approved K-FORM PVC Screed Railing provides the construction indusalternative to steel forms. Made from recycled materials, K-FORM is lightweight, durable and does not require removal after concrete pouring.

6 by How K-FORM Works:

7 K-FORM is ideal for concrete slabs of various thicknesses. The rail is simply laid on a lean mix or mortar bed 1. Set up your string line. 2. Cut the first Top Strip in half, attach to the first rail and fit joint clips. 3. Place spots of bedding mortar on the sub-base at intervals of 32 to correspond with holes in the base. 4. Place the rail on the bed and gently tap down with a rubber mallet until the top of the wear strip is at the desired level. 5. Place bedding for next rail as in Step Fit the full length of the Top Strip across rails. 8. Tap down the rail as in Step Each 8 foot K-FORM rail has pre-drilled 7/8 holes for dowels. 10. Once the bedding mortar has cured, you can start pouring concrete. 11. K-FORM rails stay in place, therefore adjoining bays can be poured one after the other. 12. Once the concrete has cured, the Top Strip can either be left in place or be left in place, if preferred. With K-FORM s removable Top Strip, there is no need to diamond cut joints for sealant. With K-FORM, you can pour more concrete: Just lay K-Form and pour bay after bay. and its compliance or contribution to compliance with the various Building Regulations applying K-FORM s patented design allows concrete to set without any need to use additional expansion joints. 7
