MasterForm Hobs

Overview

MasterForm offers a unique, revolutionary and simplified way of installing hobs by enabling them to be poured in a single monolithic process with the slab.

SAVE TIME

The secret is in our patented cast-in support leg which gets fixed directly to the deck, securing the hob in place during the slab pour.

Hobs and slabs are poured concurrently for maximum program efficiency with no more unnecessary time spent forming up and stripping formwork or extra site visits to drill and set up starter bars.

Window and façade frames can immediately be measured and ordered, speeding up the construction program.

INCREASE QUALITY

MasterForm’s cast-in hobs are more resistant to movement because they are poured with the slab, forming a true monolithic structure with no cold joints susceptible to cracking over time.

As the hobs will expand and contract uniformly with the slab they will provide a much better solution for many of the
waterproofing issues plaguing the building industry.

REDUCE COST

Our hobs can be installed in only a fraction of the time and cost of doing it conventionally freeing up valuable site resources.

MasterForm cast-in hobs are provided with hob legs pre-set to the required slab depths. Our hobs sit on top of the proprietary Klipmaster hob legs, when pressure is applied the hob simply and securely clips into place. Any reinforcement details are to be designed by the project engineer.

MasterForm post-fix hobs are quick and easy to install and are a fully cast-in system therefore saving time on stripping.

MasterForm post fix hobs are installed with M8 x 100mm concrete screws at each hob spacer location (approx. 500mm crs.). Any reinforcement requirements are to be designed by the Project Engineer.

MasterForm supply straddle brackets that adapt to the profile of the metal formwork system that are using. Simply confirm your profile with MasterForm.

As long as the wet concrete is uniformly placed around the support legs then very little movement is usually experienced. Legs taller than 300mm usually require some stabilization with tie wire. We also suggest some simple tie wire cross supports on the hob lengths as the guys on site feel necessary.

MasterForm hobs are 3m long.

Yes. MasterForm will extract the profile directly from the architectural DWG background and supply you with a keyplan for quick and accurate installation.
