Abstract
The slab edge forming and insulating system includes edge members and support braces. The edge members include an elongated shell having an upright portion with an insulated inside surface, an upper portion and a lower portion. Each of the upper and lower portions have formed edges. Open cross sectioned support braces having upper and lower formed edges for engaging the formed edges of the elongated shell are fixed to a footing and connected to the edge members. The edge members form and insulate the edges of the poured concrete of the slab while the open cross sectioned support braces receive the poured concrete of the slab and thus anchor the edge members to the edge of the slab.
Claims13
A system for forming and insulating the edges of a concrete slab, the system comprising:
- an edge member, wherein the edge member includes:
- an edge member upright portion;
- an edge member lower portion;
- and
- insulation disposed adjacent to the edge member upright portion and lower portion;
- and
- a support brace connected to the edge member, wherein the support brace includes:
- a support brace upright portion that is substantially parallel to the edge member upright portion;
- and
- a support brace base flange connected to the support brace upright portion, wherein the support brace base flange is substantially coplanar with the edge member lower portion and having a portion that extends away from a lower portion of the support brace upright portion;
- and
- whereby the insulation would be located between the edge member upright portion and the concrete slab, and the support brace would be embedded within the concrete slab.
