RedEdge

RedEdge is Big River’s purpose-built LVL edgeboard for formwork applications, engineered to give clean, durable, consistent slab edges across multiple concrete pours. It’s the edgeboard trades reach for when a straight, reusable edge line matters as much as the finish on the slab itself.

Formwork

GUIDE

Why Use a Dedicated Edgeboard

General-purpose timber can splinter, swell or lose its straight edge after a handful of pours. RedEdge is engineered LVL specifically for the edge-forming role, holding a true, clean line for concrete edges and steps across a project’s full pour schedule.

Edge Finish & Strip Quality

A straight, well-maintained edgeboard directly affects how cleanly the formwork strips and how much finishing work is needed at the slab edge. RedEdge is designed to release cleanly and resist the swelling and distortion that shortens the working life of sawn timber edgeboards.

Reuse and Site Handling

Like all engineered LVL formwork products, RedEdge benefits from correct handling: cleaning after each strip, avoiding prolonged exposure to wet concrete, and flat, dry storage between pours to protect straightness and edge quality across reuse cycles.

KEY BENEFITS

Why Use RedEdge?

Clean, Consistent Edges

Engineered LVL construction holds a true straight line for slab edges and steps, pour after pour.

Durable Across Reuse Cycles

Resists the swelling, splitting and distortion that shortens the working life of sawn timber edgeboards.

Purpose-Built for Formwork

Designed specifically for the edge-forming role, rather than adapted general-purpose timber.

Complements the Formwork Range

Works alongside Big River's formwork plywood, LVL bearers and steel decking for a complete pour system.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is RedEdge used for?

RedEdge is an LVL edgeboard used to form clean, straight edges and steps on concrete slabs, giving a more consistent and durable result than general sawn timber edgeboards.

How is RedEdge different from formwork LVL bearers?

Formwork LVL bearers and joists provide structural support beneath the formwork sheeting, while RedEdge is purpose-built for the edge-forming role, prioritising a clean, straight, reusable edge line.

Can RedEdge be reused across multiple pours?

Yes. RedEdge is engineered for repeated reuse; correct cleaning after stripping and flat, dry storage between pours will extend its working life across a project.
