The Quarter Bullnose Form has a gentle edge rounded edge finish excellent for your kitchen benchtops when you want to create a more traditional feel.

These Z Countertop Forms are designed to be attached to the cement board, which is screwed onto the top of the cabinets. The Z Countertop Forms are simply snapped off when the concrete is cured, leaving behind the decorative edge benchtop surface.

Creates a 57mm height edge to the cast-in-place concrete benchtop.

To use - place 2x 7.5mm cement boards on top of the cabinets carcass. The cement boards should be cut flush to the edge of the cabinets and held in place using silicone caulking between each layer of cement board. The forms will then be screwed into the cement board with 12mm x 10g Panhead screws. After the concrete is poured, the forms are snapped off along the designated 'breakpoint' to reveal a beautiful clean edge.
Concrete benchtops that are made with rebar that is too large in scale for the slab thickness are susceptible to telegraph cracking.

When concrete shrinks due to drying out, high tensile stress levels develop around proportionally oversized reinforcing. These stresses cause cracks that run along the length of the steel. Smaller diameter reinforcing has less of an effect on the concrete, so the same amount of concrete shrinkage develops much less tensile forces, thus the likelihood of cracks caused by the steel itself drops dramatically.

Because all concrete shrinks to some degree and shrinkage occur over a long period of time, the occurrence of telegraph cracking may not appear until long after a countertop is installed.

Our recommendation is use a fibreglass based composite mesh or bar instead to prevent rust issues, ghosting and telegraph cracking.
