Features and Benefits

  • EPS Thickness: 2.5 in. (6.25 cm.) per panel, 5 in. (12.5 cm.) total
  • Fast & easy installation
  • Superior interlock — no taping, gluing or tying
  • Most durable form on the market. It withstands the toughest concrete pours.
  • 6" buried web spacing resulting in additional strength and minimal waste
  • Secure rebar positioning eliminates tying
  • Innovative design and manufacturing consistency means the forms virtually align themselves to create straight walls
  • ICFs are light, requiring less effort to lift and carry. Crews maintain their strength throughout the day and go home less tired
  • ICFs are easy to cut, shape and make unconventional wall shapes manageable
