General Engineering Tectonics-ICFs: Insulating Concrete Forms

ICFs: Insulating Concrete Forms

Walls that are straight and plumb. Strong, tight joints. Significantly reduced chances for water infiltration. Superior insulation and a strong vapor barrier, all in one application. An effective R-32 insulation value. Wood construction must build to R-50 to achieve similar energy efficiency. Air tightness and thermal mass the provides outstanding insulation and sound reduction properties.

Waffle grid ICF is efficient in cost, requiring less concrete than other forms, efficient in time because of its easy-to-use features, and efficient in energy use once the walls are complete. Builders love eForms-the ship lap joints allow quick and easy stacking. Factory formed 90° and 45° corners eliminate the need to fabricate corners on the job. Builders and homeowners save up to 30% on concrete costs because of the economical waffle-grid interior design without giving up any of the incredible strength of the steel-reinforced concrete walls!

iForm: innovative flat wall form which is completely universal, reversible and flippable. iForm makes any wall construction quick and easy. Perfect for both commercial and residential construction. Available in three sizes-9", 11" and 13", and in three configurations-straight, 90° corner and 45° corner. iForm makes any wall construction quick and easy. Perfect for both commercial and residential construction, iForm flat wall forms produce steel-reinforced concrete walls that are straight, square and plumb, and buildings that are strong, safe and energy efficient.

cDeck is the perfect insulating floor and roof forming system to go with ICFs. When you integrate cDeck into your structures, you magnify their strength, safety, and energy efficiency. Each form contains built-in ventilation ducts and utility passages. You can attach drywall with normal drywall screws or apply EIFS directly to cDeck. cDeck is used for the floors and roofs of commercial and residential projects and is especially convenient for built-in radiant heating systems.
