EFCO LITE Columns

  • EFCO LITE Windmill Column

    Windmill Design

    With the windmill design, one set of forms can form column sizes in 2" increments. An architectural 3/4" column corner chamfer can be easily formed. The unique design of EFCO's standard EFCO LITE column forms only require three bolts per 8' of corner.

    Self-Squaring Column

    Bypass corners assure a leak resistant form for good concrete corners and provide a “self- squaring” system.

  • Plastic Chamfer insert on EFCO LITE

    Fishtail Chamfer Inserts

    Fishtail chamfer inserts attach easily and stay attached with flush flat-head bolts. Chamfers do not become loose parts to deal with during stripping and setting.

Customizable & Efficient Column Formwork

For high-rise buildings, the EFCO LITE® system can be customized to meet the needs for specific requirements. Repetitious columns with intersecting spandrel beams can be formed very efficiently. EFCO LITE® custom column and beam applications include apartment buildings, office complexes, and high-rise hotels.
