01 / OUR STORY

A BETTER POCKET THAN A PILE OF PLYWOOD.

For nearly a century, column isolation pockets were built from temporary wooden forms. Wood and foam blockouts have to come out after the slab is poured, and pulling them causes trouble: diamonds to wreck out, unsupported and chipped slab edges, and debris that lands in the column base grout bed.

 

Pocket Form Isolator is a leave-in-the-slab isolation pocket made of high-density polyethylene. HDPE doesn't bond to concrete and the form sits at finished floor elevation, so it becomes the separation and expansion joint between the inner and outer pours. No grout lines, no fiberboard, nothing to strip.

 

Today PFI comes in thousands of shapes and sizes and has gone into the slabs of big-box stores, public schools, supermarkets and convention centers.
