Concrete Countertop Solutions
Z Poolform is a reusable PVC form used to create decorative concrete copings for vinyl liner, fiberglass or concrete swimming pools. Interchangeable form liners allow for a variety of different edge profiles and textures. Z Poolform does not require the use of tie wires and is sturdy enough to screed on or vibrate against, which means no deforming while the concrete is still "green" in order to finish or dress the edge. This product is guaranteed to save time and give superior results over traditional forming methods, the company says.
