Claims2
A formwork system, comprising:
- a panel comprising an inner rail, a form face, and a side rail,
- wherein the inner rail and the side rail each extend in a substantially perpendicular arrangement therebetween;
- an exterior corner form comprising a corner bracket, the corner bracket comprising a member which extends longitudinally and parallel to the side rail, the member having a first portion and a second portion each connected at a midpoint, the first portion having a first inner surface and a first outer surface, the second portion having a second inner surface and a second outer surface, where the first portion and the second portion each extend away from the midpoint, both in a direction parallel to the inner rail and in a direction perpendicular therebetween, the first portion extending away from the form face, wherein the first inner surface and the second inner surface are disposed perpendicularly, wherein the first outer surface or the second outer surface faces the side rail;
- and
- a coupling, wherein the coupling is a removable member configured to allow the uncoupling and recoupling of the panel and the exterior corner form when the exterior corner form abuts against the side rail,
- wherein the side rail is disposed perpendicularly to the inner rail, wherein the inner rail is disposed between the coupling and the exterior corner form.
