About Ahrens Top Rib Crown Form Kits

The Ahrens Victorian Crown Form Kit and other Ahrens top rib crown form kits make it simple to build a classically attractive chimney crown that does a whole lot more than just look fantastic. These crowns provide for over three inches of concrete to ensure they are strong enough to withstand the elements. In addition, they have a built in drip edge to keep water out of the chimney. Besides this, they allow a two-inch overhang to reduce the damage that can happen when freeze and thaw cycles occur, expanding and contracting masonry work and often causing cracks.

Each Ahrens top rib crown form kit can be reused many times, making the kits an economical choice for professionals and allowing chimney pros to pass the savings on to customers. Every kit, including the Ahrens Victorian Crown Form Kit, contains a total of six Styrofoam chimney crown form sides; these are each 5'4" long. In addition, the top crown form kits come with a miter box, complete instructions, and readymade support wires.

You will need to have a few extra supplies on hand before putting the kits to work; depending on the desired form length, you'll need either eight or twelve-inch support triangles, a fifteen-foot long nylon ratchet strap, and one quart of concrete release agent per chimney crown.

Installation is Easy

Installing Ahrens top rib crown form manufactured chimney crowns is a snap. All you need to do is cut the form sides to the desired length, then tape the corners securely together. Next, spray the inside surfaces of the forms with concrete release, ensuring you coat them well, particularly in the corners and in other tight spaces. Once you've finished, position the prepared form on top of the chimney, and position the reinforcing triangles. Secure the forms to the chimney with the nylon ratchet strap, add your crown mix, and use your masonry trowel to smooth the top and clear away any excess.

An excellent alternative to steel crown forms, Ahrens top rib crown form kits are lightweight, easy to cut, and completely cost effective.
