Curved Aluminum Form Wedge for Concrete Forms
Universal Fit: Curved Wedges for Any Aluminum Forming Brand
Utilize our curved aluminum form wedges (also known as a curved wedge bolt) for a safe and effective concrete pour. They are compatible with all aluminum forming brands, ensuring a perfect fit. With their curved design, they offer clear benefits such as increased hammer clearance, less chance of damaging the form face, and easier set-up insertion.
In addition, these aluminum wedges undergo a heat treatment process to increase their strength and durability, and their tapered structure enables quicker stripping after the concrete has solidified. These curved aluminum form wedges are a highly useful time-saving resource for any concrete forming project.

FAQ
What is a concrete form wedge?
Concrete form wedges are a vital component in securing concrete forms during the pouring process. There are a variety of types, but typically they are used in conjunction with formwork pins, ties, or brackets to ensure the stability of the forms. They are commonly hammered in place to create a tighter fit between the pins, ties, or brackets and the formwork panels.
Curved Wedges Vs Straight Wedges?
Using curved wedges or straight wedges will depend on the situation. Curved wedges can offer the added benefits of:
- being easier to install in limited access situations
- reduced risk of damage to face of concrete form
What is heat-treated steel?
The process of heat treatment involves subjecting steel to controlled heating and cooling in order to modify its physical characteristics. Some advantages of heat treatment include:
- Increased Strength
- Improved Toughness - more resistant to cracking or breaking under pressure.
- Enhanced Ductility (In some cases) - meaning it can deform without breaking.
- Stress Relief - relieves internal stresses in steel that can occur during manufacturing processes.
