SurePly™ Comparison Data Sheet

SurePlyTM Comparison
SureBuilt panels and fillers establish the quality standard for concrete forms
Form Production
Concrete construction professionals know that SureBuilt forms and hardware are reliable tools… pouring more concrete, in less time, with fewer issues. That’s because every panel and filler is manufactured to meet or exceed the industry standard for productive forming.
The steel frames are welded robotically for consistent strength and dimensions across all panel and filler sizes. The baked-on powder coating provides a smooth, durable and more weather-resistant finish. The very best form faces are selected for maximum re-use.
Form Renovation
Renovation service includes plywood removal, inspection, repair, shot-blasting and painting. Frames are then refaced with standard 1/2” Birch plywood, optional 1/2” HDO plywood or alkus® composite.

Full 2” Crossmember
A full 2” crossmember provides 45% more plywood contact area compared to the 1-3/8” crossmember of other brands. More plywood backing reduces deflection or “pillowing” for a better concrete finish.
More Dado Slots Per Panel
Four more dado slots along each side rail provides alternate tie and hardware locations – particularly valuable when stacking or “stepping” forms.
1000 PSF System
With nearly 20% more weld contact, SurePly side rails, end rails and crossmembers hold up better, with far less repair, than other brands.
Standard Paint Colors
Forms are available in your choice of 12 standard baked-on colors, which is ideal for company branding and/or identifying rental fleets. Custom colors are available on request.
Baked-On Powder Coating
The smooth, extra tough baked-on SurePly form finish provides easier cleaning and longer-term protection than ordinary dip-tank painting common with other brands.
Long-Lasting Birch Plywood
All standard SurePly panels and fillers include 1/2” Birch plywood. This hardwood species and 9-ply design provides a sturdier and longer-lasting form face.
HDO Plywood
1/2” HDO plywood is readily available throughout North America and often a customer preference. This optional face can be installed in SurePly panels and fillers on request.
alkus® Composite Face
An optional alkus composite face, consisting of a sealed surface and aluminum core, eliminates deflection and lasts 10x longer than any plywood.
Complete Form Renovation
Renovation includes plywood removal, inspection, incidental repair, shot-blasting and painting. These “like- new” frames are then refaced with 1/2” Birch plywood, 1/2” HDO plywood or alkus® composite.
Dealer/Contractor “Sales Conflict”
We don’t sell direct! Stop competing with your own supplier on big projects, while at the same time being required to service smaller contractors. At SureBuilt, we help make YOU successful.
