GREEN. FROM THE GROUND UP.

Fastfoot® is the fabric membrane that protects:

·         our environment as we build by preventing ground water contamination and waste of forming materials;

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.

Fastfoot® used as complete footing form

Fastfoot® forms both the sides and base of footing as shown below:

Fastfoot® used as an edge form

Here Fastfoot® forms the sides only. Fastfoot® edging is used where the footing (or slab) is too wide to be formed with a single width

FASTFOOT® BENEFITS

• Prevents rising damp by providing a wicking break between the footing concrete and the damp ground, reducing toxic mold and mildew

• Fast to install, less expensive than forming with lumber

• Lightweight - 120' of Fastfoot® weighs only 12.4 lbs. (FF62)

• Adapts to uneven ground 

• No forming lumber

• Lower form pressures - bottom third of form lateral pressure is taken by the fabric itself, thereby lowering bracing requirements.

• Less concrete, no leakage 

• Better concrete quality 

  • In summer, prevents rapid desiccation of concrete 

  • In winter, prevents contamination of concrete with mud and water 

• Stay in place form, no stripping of fabric 

• No concrete damage to 2x4s, stakes 

• No leaching of concrete contaminates into ground and water table
