Timber formers

When arches are ordered loose, to be laid on site, your contractor will require a timber arch former to support the arch during construction, while the mortar is curing.

All timber formers are supplied with a joint centre template giving the accurate position of the centre line & every joint line. This will help the bricklayer prevent the work "creeping" as it is laid and ensure uniform joint thickness across the arch.
