Abstract
A cement form made at least in part of a foam material can be used to form a cement foundation of a structure. The cement form can include a cement facing surface oriented vertically and configured to support a volume of cement. The cement can also include a ground facing surface oriented horizontally and configured to contact a ground support surface.
Claims20
A method of manufacturing a cement form, comprising:
- providing an elongate block of foam material;
- and
- dividing the block of foam material diagonally along its length to form two elongate cement forms, each cement form having:
- a first portion defining a ground facing surface that extends horizontally and is configured to contact a ground surface;
- a second portion defining a cement facing surface that extends upward from the first portion and configured to contact, support, and form a volume of cement that is poured into a structure;
- and
- an intermediate portion defining an inclined surface extending upward at a diagonal angle relative to the ground facing surface and the cement facing surface and in a direction from the ground facing surface towards the cement facing surface, wherein the ground facing surface, the cement facing surface, and the inclined surface define at least a substantially triangular cross-section of the cement form along an entire length of the cement form.

A method of forming a monolithic cement foundation, comprising:
- providing a cement form, the cement form including a foam material and comprising a ground facing surface that extends horizontally on a ground surface, a cement facing surface that extends upward from the ground facing surface, and an inclined surface extending upward at an angle relative to the ground facing surface and the cement facing surface, wherein the ground facing surface, the cement facing surface, and the inclined surface define at least a substantially triangular cross-section of the cement form along an entire length of the cement form;
- positioning the cement form on a ground surface and securing the cement form in a fixed position;
- supporting a volume of uncured cement against the cement form while in the fixed position;
- and
- at least partially covering the cement form with backfill material while in the fixed position.

A method of manufacturing a cement form, comprising:
- providing an elongate block of foam material;
- making a first cut along its length to form two elongate cement forms, each cement form having:
- a first portion defining a ground facing surface that extends horizontally and that contacts a ground surface;
- a second portion defining a cement facing surface that extends upward from the first portion and that is configured to contact, support, and form a volume of cement that is poured into a structure;
- and
- an intermediate portion defining an inclined surface extending upward:
- (i) at an angle relative to the ground facing surface and the cement facing surface and (ii) in a direction from the ground facing surface towards the cement facing surface, wherein the ground facing surface, the cement facing surface, and the inclined surface define at least a substantially triangular cross-section of the cement form along an entire length of the cement form.
- ` making a second cut to form a connector groove in a first cement form, and
- making a third cut to form a connector groove in a second cement form.
