Get the best with Armstrong Brands Insulating Concrete Forms. It is easy to place, does not require compaction, and can be produced onsite using our foam generation units, or it can be delivered premixed in trucks. Our expertise is providing strong, straight, and flat walls requiring lower labor, reduced concrete, and less bracing. Made with Cemex admixtures, Porofoam is available in a wide range of densities and compressive strengths to suit your project’s specific needs. With the lowest installed cost of any ICF in the industry, we provide the optimum product that is straight, strong and flat, using reduced labor, less concrete and minimal bracing. Labor savings is about half of estimated costs on other concrete wall installations. A standard 40' x 50' basement will use about $50 extra rebar, and reduce concrete costs of about $1,500. Our ICF products combine advanced engineered strength and reduced concrete costs. Minimal bracing is required for wind protection and safety during the pour.

Walls will be straight and plumb and remain flat during stacking. We can custom design an ICF that is capable of single lift pours up to 10' or 12' high. The EPS ties also help absorb a portion of concrete expansion and contraction due to temperature variances throughout the day or seasons alleviating concrete cracking. Insulating Concrete Forms, (ICFs) are used to construct concrete based buildings.

The interlocked column and beam design allows the building the ability to flex under severe seismic loads, and maintain its integrity. In return, the strength of the rebar is spread through the wall with optimum efficiency. This holds the walls stable and prevents bulges and blowouts especially near the corners. This design is also used to strengthen bridges, concrete and steel columns and bridge beams.īy utilizing EPS ties designed to work as an arch, a grid of concrete is formed around the rebar. Engineers continually improved the ICF process by integrating a rebar grid within the form to provide excellent strength and concrete durability. I have read and accepted the Terms & Conditions aboveThe original ICF design was completed over 40 years ago and replaced wood forms with foam, and utilized metal or plastic clips to hold the forms in place.
