How does the fabric affect steel placement?
Fastfoot does not affect steel placement what so ever. • What about steps? Forming steps is fast, easy, and very inexpensive. The only lumber required is the plywood bulkhead – the rest is done with fabric. Dramatic cost savings are obtained in materials, labor and concrete. • Do I use more concrete? No. On full footing forms the 2x4s are spaced 3″ closer together than the footing contact width (1 1/2″ offset). This reduces concrete. As well, there is no concrete leakage with Fastfoot as you are pouring into a closed form. • Does the Fastfoot prevent rising damp? As water is strongly attracted to concrete, it is essential to protect the footing from external water sources. A 3 to 4″ drainage layer should be installed under the footing with impermeable soils. Fastfoot must be installed around the footing, with the wall membrane lapped over the footing membrane. For additional information please click here. • Will the Fastfoot improve concrete quality? Yes. In summer, Fastfoot prevents r
