smooth form finish
Explanation:
I suspect what is being referred to here is the surface after the forming material has been removed from around the poured concrete. See the links for further details.
Note that the links actually refer to exposed surfaces, whereas the asker's text indicates non-exposed surfaces.

smooth form finish


Explanation:
I suspect what is being referred to here is the surface after the forming material has been removed from around the poured concrete. See the links for further details.
Note that the links actually refer to exposed surfaces, whereas the asker's text indicates non-exposed surfaces.

Example sentence(s):
  • Lumber is a readily available forming material. It may have a smooth surface or be rough-sawn or sandblasted to transfer distinctive textures to the concrete surface.
  • Project specifications require a smooth form finish for 300 lineal feet of cast-in-place walls.
