The Hard Sleeve is a durable and essential component used in conjunction with tie rods in concrete formwork systems. Designed to maintain the exact spacing between wall formwork panels, it ensures uniform wall thickness and prevents concrete from bonding to the tie rod. Hard Sleeves are manufactured from high-strength plastic (PVC or HDPE) and are available for 100 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm thick wall applications. These sleeves enhance reusability and simplify tie rod removal post-concreting.
