EURO ACCESSORIES COLUMN FORMERS
www.euroacc.co.uk 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.

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. t. 0845 052 4050
www.euroacc.co.uk 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.
