The FormFlow C90 Bend
Changing the way you use corrugated iron
The C90 Bend is FormFlow’s flagship product, a world first invention and unanimously voted the winner of “over 40 Great Innovations’ in season 4 of “Australia by Design: Innovations’.
By forming a 90-degree bend in corrugated sheets, our technology forms a continuous corner that allows seamless joins between walls and roofing.
How it works
FormFlow Bending Technology delivers smooth transitions between corrugated sheet sections at a range of angles. Our innovative process can produce sharp bends perpendicular to the corrugations. So there’s no need for capping, flashing or complex corner design. You’ll get a clean, distinctive interlocking join that’s stronger than a conventional corner.
Incorporating the ‘no gaps’ wall cladding and roofing solution can improve the overall energy efficiencies of a building and reduce its environmental impact. You’ll get better insulation and a watertight and airtight outer cladding. Other benefits include a lower risk of ember attack and improved bushfire performance as well as eliminating the ingress of dirt and small animals.
Frequently asked questions
Reach out to us today and we can walk you through the ordering process.
Absolutely! We love seeing what ideas our customers come up with our FormFlow products. Enquire with us today and we can help you turn your idea into reality.
Our C60 Bend (the sheet is bent over by 60 degrees) is currently being used on FormFlow Living Homes, where we are exploring various market applications.
FormFlow is continually gauging market interest for other angles of bend so if you have a specific angle in mind for your project or have a great idea for using C60 please contact us.
FormFlow C90 Bends can be formed in both COLORBOND® standard and MATT finishes as well as ZINCALUME® steel, GALVANISED and other coatings. The standard offering is 0.42BMT G550.
We can also offer 0.48BMT G550 and 0.60BMT G300 as non-standard and lots of other materials – if you can corrugate it, we can form it!
The FormFlow Bending Technology allows all corrugated iron sheeting thicknesses to be formed.
We can also form other materials such as aluminium at a thickness of 0.8mm and can increase this range if required.
Corrugated sheets come with a fixed 180mm bend leg, measured from where the sheet sits up against the wall to the cut end of the sheet.
This fixed leg will work for 99% of projects and can be trimmed easily by any skilled installer. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you need help incorporating the bend into your designs!
The FormFlow Bending Technology can be applied to lots of different corrugated profiles so let us know which one you would like to see!
The standard FormFlow C90 offering is a straight sheet of 1 to 8m’s in length, specified by you, with a fixed bend leg of 180mm to allow overlap past the corner.
We can form more than one bend in a sheet in a non-standard offering, but best to discuss with us your application first!
No, FormFlow’s bending technology does not damage coatings and has been extensively tested with our partners at Deakin University.
No. Microscopic examination of sections of metal after bending have determined there is no damage.
