The Benefits of BuildBlock® Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF) • • • • • • • BuildBlock® Solid Monolithic Concrete Wall Higher R-Values = Reduced Energy Cost BuildBlock® Walls are Engineered for Disaster Resistance Fire Rating of 3 Hours or More A BuildBlock® 6-inch Core Wall has an STC of 51+ Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable BuildBlock® Walls are Load Bearing and Structural BuildBlock® ICFs are 16-inches tall and 48-inches long. The wall area of a single BuildBlock® form equates to six standard concrete masonry units. Not only does the light-weight nature of BuildBlock® ICFs make them faster to work with, they also create a much safer environment for workers. This will result in fewer jobsite related injuries and lower workers compensation premiums. Monolithic concrete walls are significantly stronger than those built with concrete blocks. BuildBlock® technology combines the proven strength and endurance of concrete and steel with the superior insulating properties of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). As a result, these structures are more energy efficient, comfortable, durable, and safer than conventional construction methods.

One BuildBlock® ICF is 16-inches tall and 48-inches long. The wall area of a single BuildBlock® form equates to six standard concrete masonry units. The webs serve as furring strips with attachment points of up to 125lbs. and hard points of 450+lbs. 450lb. hard pt. sheet rock The molded-in webs securely lock steel rebar in multiple locations, virtually eliminating the time-consuming process of tying steel. The webs also serve as 15-inch by 1-1/2-inch furring strips used to attach interior and exterior finishes, eliminating the additional step of adding furring strips as required with concrete...
