Modular Aluminum Forms
Precise modular aluminum forms are available in a wide variety of designs.
Custom Aluminum Forms
Components of the Precise Aluminum Forming System
SIDERAIL
The custom textured brick side rail is specifically designed to support each brick. This helps prevent damage to the form from deformation of the brick pattern.
ENDRAIL
The hole pattern that is used on the siderail is duplicated in the endrail to allow stacking as well as laying the forms down. The endrail is notched to receive the face sheet to protect the face sheet from abuse and prevents it from curling.
WELDING
A specific weld pattern is used to dissipate as much heat as possible. This pattern welding method minimizes the amount of distortion. Argon gas is used for a shield to purify the welding procedure to ensure clean welds.
BUSHING
The hardness of the bushing is the key, as the pins and wedges are heat treated to the same hardness. This way the contractor will not have one item cutting into the other thus extending the life of the entire system.
CORNER GUSSETS
Our corner gusset is a full 1/4” plate. Corner gussets provide extra support and strength for the corners. In addition they prevent concrete build up and make cleaning the forms easier.
STRIKE PLATE
Strike plates protect the facesheet from hammer blows when placing or removing pins and wedges extending the life of the form.

Brace Styles for Modular Aluminum Forms
1″ Channel for Smooth
The 1” channel brace is used for many hole patterns but was specifically designed for the 8” on center hole pattern. Precise has designed this brace with many considerations of structural integrity. The sides of the brace are directly opposing the loads it is subjected to and the point of moment on the brace is increased in thickness to resist the horizontal loads. The brace is 1 7/8” x 1” to allow welding over the top of the brace to the siderail. The thickness of the legs of the channel are increased for support and also to allow good weld penetration that will not blow through side walls. The exterior of the legs are serrated to allow a firm grip even in adverse conditions.
1″ Channel for Brick
The 1” tube brace was specifically designed for decorative face sheets. Precise has designed this brace with many considerations of structural integrity. The sides of the brace are directly opposing the loads it is subjected to and the point of moment on the brace is increased in thickness to resist the horizontal loads. The brace is 1 7/8” x 1” to allow welding over the top of the brace to the siderail. The tube is used on the decorative brick to prevent concrete build up within the brace due to the irregularity of the brick pattern sheet.
4″ Channel for Smooth
The 1” channel brace is used for many hole patterns but was specifically designed for the 8” on center hole pattern. Precise has designed this brace with many considerations of structural integrity. The sides of the brace are directly opposing the loads it is subjected to and the point of moment on the brace is increased in thickness to resist the horizontal loads. The brace is 1 7/8” x 1” to allow welding over the top of the brace to the siderail. The thickness of the legs of the channel are increased for support and also to allow good weld penetration that will not blow through side walls. The exterior of the legs are serrated to allow a firm grip even in adverse conditions.
Big Brace
The 5.5” custom channel brace was designed with all the same criteria used on all our support components. It is extruded with 6061 T6 511 alloy aluminum. The sides of the 5.5” channel are serrated for easier handling of the form. To add strength, we have doubled the vertical support legs that create dramatically flatter walls. This is especially useful for projects where the concrete will be the finished interior surface on homes, offices or commercial buildings.
