Flexible Concrete Forms: Why CONform™ Is the Future of Flatwork

For decades, concrete forming has relied on rigid wooden boards, laminates, and even soaked lumber to achieve curves and bends. These traditional methods are labor-intensive, wasteful, and prone to failure. Enter CONform™, BestPLUS’s revolutionary solution that’s changing the game for contractors everywhere. 

What Is CONform? 

CONform is a flexible concrete form made from 98% recycled plastic, designed to replace conventional wood forms. Each 50-foot roll can be reused hundreds of times, delivering unmatched durability and sustainability. No messy release agents. No sticking. No blowouts. Just clean, professional lines—every time. 

Why It Matters 

The flatwork concrete market includes sidewalks, patios, driveways, curbs, and more. Contractors in this space need solutions that save time, reduce costs, and minimize waste. Let’s dive into some of the common challenges we see out in the field: 

Concrete Forming: You've been there time and time again. Soaking lumber, bending laminates, or using fragile boards to create curves. These methods are slow, inconsistent, and typically single-use. They also require messy release agents to prevent sticking, and even then, blowouts and rework are common. 

Curves can be a time and material killer. Every extra minute you spend on forming is keeping you from pouring, finishing, and moving to your next job site. Lost productivity equals lost money. Let’s dig into that a little more. 

Labor & Cost Issues: Traditional forming is labor-intensive and expensive. Every curve means extra time and material waste. Labor hours are spent on cutting, bending, staking, and then babysitting fragile forms. We often see breakage and the need for replacements. Stuck concrete just adds to the chaos because it needs to be chipped, hammered, repoured or fully replaced. Even a short-distance sidewalk with a few curves can eat hundreds of dollars in preventable labor and materials. 

Reusability Concerns: Wood forms are not reusable for long and contribute to job-site waste. Contractors are increasingly looking for sustainable solutions that save them time and money. Wood isn’t built to last and often end up in dumpsters after one project. It won’t survive more than a few uses (at best), and once they’re warped or cracked, they’re done. For a durable, multi-use system, CONform can withstand continuous bending and shaping over time. Each roll is engineered for repeatable use. This means huge savings (and less landfill) for contractors who frequently build curved work.  

CONform delivers: 

• Speed & Efficiency: Quick setup, easy removal, and simple storage. 

• Cost Savings: Lower labor, material, and cleanup costs. 

• Eco-Friendliness: Don’t keep buying single-use products, wasting time and money.
