The Clearform difference

See what is happening inside the wall.

A clear view gives builders, engineers and certifiers more confidence in the work behind the finished wall. Clearform’s translucent panels make reinforcement and concrete placement visible, supporting inspections before and during the pour.

Inspect before the pour
Translucent faces give engineers a clear view of reinforcing steel for pre-pour inspections.
Watch the concrete placement
Monitor the pour through the panel face to identify gaps and voids as the wall fills.
Choose your panel finish
Select translucent faces on one or both sides, or a white finish, to suit your project.

Installation speed: Up to 3×faster than conventional formwork methods
Recycled PVC: Up to 43%recycled content, depending on panel selection
Panel profiles: 4 sizes110, 155, 200 and 250 mm, cut to project lengths

The clear benefits

Less work on site.
More clarity at every stage.

From installation to the finished surface, the system is designed to simplify the work around your concrete walls.

Keep the build moving

Made-to-measure panels arrive ready for installation and stay in place after the pour. With no formwork stripping stage, you can reduce crane dependence and keep the building program moving.

Fewer tasks. Less site risk.

Cut-to-length panels reduce cutting on site and time spent around exposed reinforcement. Permanent formwork removes the stripping work associated with falling materials, nails and sharp edges.

A durable, clean finish

Robust PVC panels provide a straight, high-gloss surface with resistance to water and UV exposure. The panel face can remain as the finished surface where the application allows.

More room for your design

Load-bearing wall layouts can help create open spaces with fewer internal supports and concealed columns. Opportunities to simplify beams, slabs and footings depend on the structural design.

Reduce work around the wall

Simpler formwork and fewer stripping tasks can reduce labour, cranage, bracing and scaffolding requirements. Made-to-measure panels also mean less cutting waste and site clean-up.

Make better use of materials

Panels use recycled PVC and are recyclable. Ordering to project lengths reduces offcuts, while permanent formwork reduces the need for temporary materials such as plywood.
