Fayetteville, Georgia (May 23, 2005) -- B.E.P.T Forming Systems, Inc. announces the arrival of the aluminum forming industry's first lightweight combination hand- or gang-set aluminum form panel, the B.E.P. LIGHT Panel. Packed with the same features as B.E.P.'s patented BIG PANELS, the LIGHT Panel weighs under 100 pounds, can be used in commercial and residential applications and can complement any other aluminum forming system.

B.E.P.'s new LIGHT Panels are available in standard heights, 1'-10' and come in all B.E.P. form line designs: Smooth, Georgian Stone, Adobe Brick, Vertical and Textured Brick. As with all B.E.P. products, the LIGHT Panel offers concrete contractors another flexible, easy-to-use product designed to increase their productivity and profitability.

Used in conjunction with B.E.P.'s Form Clamps, Reusable POWER Taper Tie system and B-LOC rail-a strong, interlocking and self-aligning rail that virtually eliminates concrete leakage and bowing-contractors can expect to extend the life spans of forms and rails, decrease hardware costs and create walls with no residual hardware rust or thermal transfer. In fact, pairing the LIGHT Panel with B.E.P.'s reusable ties, contractors can remove all costs associated with purchasing standard tie replacements (or requirements) on each and every job.

In addition to reduced concrete and hardware costs, contractors will enjoy other benefits as well. Because these panels are lighter, have fewer parts, and are easier to set and strip, contractors require fewer crew members on any given job site. And if the job dicatates forms should be crane-set, then these panels can be ganged together for that use.

Jennie Peacock, vice president of B.E.P., states that customers and markets continue to demand products that are more versatile, further streamline production and increase a contractor's bottom line. The LIGHT Panel is a response to those demands. "We are in constant communication with contractors, searching for ways to improve or enhance products, so that we can help make their jobs easier, faster and more profitable," she shared. "We're confident the B.E.P. LIGHT Panel is going to revolutionize concrete forming practices contractors use today."
