DRIER. FROM THE GROUND UP.
Fastfoot® is a fabric footing form that
prevents rising damp. Stakes are driven into the ground, 2x4
screed boards attached at the correct height, and Fastfoot® is stapled to each 2x4 to
form and protect the concrete from ground moisture.
I - Fastfoot®

II - Fastfoot®

Fastfoot® can be used as an
edge form, forming the sides
only. Fastfoot® edging is used where the footing (or slab) is too wide
to be formed with a single width of fabric.
