TECHNICAL DATA BUILDBLOCK INSULATING CONCRETE FORMS (ICFs) 10 Vertical Corner Rebar Optional PVC pipe inserted for full wall height attachment points. READY TO STACK. No on-site assembly required; start installing right off the truck. FULLY REVERSIBLE. All forms are fully reversible; no top, bottom, left or right. Longer corner design provides automatic offset for each course. INDUSTRY STANDARD SIZE. Industrystandard 16-inch (406.4mm) high forms produce less waste when cutting around doors and windows. TIGHT INTERLOCKING BLOCKS. Blocks easily stack and securely lock into place resulting in greater strength over the competition. No foam or clips required between courses. 2.5-INCH (63.5MM) FOAM PANELS. Allows easy accommodation of electrical and plumbing installation in the foam. HIGH-DENSITY PLASTIC WEBS. Eight 1.5-inch (38.1mm) wide webs are spaced on 6-inch (152.4mm) centers for a stronger form and more attachment points than 8-inch spacing found in many other ICFs. Greater strength, more value. REBAR SUPPORT. Deep, snap-in rebar fingers hold two 5/8-inch (15.9mm) rebar in place with no need for tying steel. Alternating horizonal rebar creates a pocket for vertical rebar eliminating most steel tying. EASY MECHANICAL CHASES. BuildBlock forms provide 1-inch of foam between forms and webs which can be removed after pouring for electrical, plumbing, and other cabling without cutting through vertical webs. OPEN WEB DESIGN. Interior rebar saddles provide rebar support even when cutting half height blocks without compromising concrete flow. EXTRA HEAVY-DUTY ATTACHMENT POINTS (495LBS.) Located every 8-inches vertically, and 6-inches horizontally, they allow for super secure attachment of heavy cabinetry directly to the ICF. The entire face of the web, 1.5”x15” (38.1mm x 381mm) is a standard attachment point designed for attaching bracing and other finishing materials. BuildBlock ICF forms combine the standard features you’ve come to expect in a quality ICF. BuildBlock is built for speed with the least waste and many unique benefits you’ll find in no other block. REBAR FINGERS 8-inch Straight Form Shown 6-inch 90° Corner Form Shown EXTRA HEAVY-DUTY 15 in 38.1 cm ATTACHMENT POINTS REBAR SADDLES BUILDCLIP, VBUCK, AND YOKE TIE ATTACH POINTS BUILT INTO THE WEB MOLDED-IN TAPE MEASURE AND HORIZONTAL CUT LINES. Numbered, vertical cut lines on every inch, often eliminate the need for using a tape measure. Horizontal cut lines are located every two-inches (50.8mm) providing cutting references for straighter cuts. 1-INCH REPEATING CUT PATTERN ON BLOCK CONNECTION. More layout options; no mismatched connections. One of the lowest waste factors of any ICF on the market today. The EPS foam is easily cut out to provide mounting for electrical boxes, plumbing, and wiring after the forms are poured. The 1.5-inch (38.1mm) wide, 15” (381mm) tall furing strips provide attachment points for drywall. Two high-density attachment points, marked by BB provide extra strong 495lb. (224.53kg) pullout strength for mounting cabinets, shelving, installer bracing, safety equipment, or other needs. ATTACHMENT POINT MARKINGS. Molded-in markings identify attachment points; heavy-duty attachment points are marked with a BB. BUILT-IN HALF HEIGHT BLOCKS. Easily cut blocks in half and create two identical half height blocks as needed. No special half-height blocks required. BUILDBLOCK BUILDING SYSTEMS, LLC, 9705 N.
