cost-effective construction
Labor savings, and readily available materials make ICFs, feature for feature,
one of the most competitive wall systems on the market today. Stable
concrete prices combined with price increases in other building materials
make ICFs a solid, safe and secure investment.
reversible tread for easier installation
Reversible, interlocking tread on the top and bottom of each ICF means the block can
be placed either side up. This provides increased versatility, makes the product easier
to install, and significantly reduces jobsite waste.
unmatcHed versatility for all construction Projects
Unique panel and web construction features variable cavity widths of 4,
6, 8 and 10. A special web extender will create 12, 14, 16, 18 and20 cavities. This versatility can be applied to all building projects including
residential homes, office complexes, schools, hospitals, shopping centers
and more.
ultra-strong design
Formtechs superior web design provides maximum strength and
dependability during concrete placement. Once complete, Formtech walls,
approximately ten times the strength of wood, offer added protection
against hurricane-force winds. Unlike conventional construction materials,
concrete will not rot or decay, making it virtually maintenance free.
enHanced energy efficiency
Made from Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), one of the best insulating
materials, ICFs help lower heating and cooling costs. The thermal
performance of a wall, its R-value, is measured by testing its resistance
to heat loss. A Formtech wall offers R-22 provided by the EPS, once filled
with concrete, thermal mass is created enhancing the overall R-value
performance of the building system.
fire-resistance for safer buildings
Flames do not pass through walls built with ICFs as quickly as wood-frame
walls. During fire-resistance tests, it took flames 3 to 4 hours to pass through
concrete-form walls, compared to just 30 minutes for wood-frame walls. ICFs
also have the added safety feature of EPS insulation that is fire-retardant.
Formtechs 15-Minute Fire Test
Formtech was the first ICF manufacturer to implement and pass the stringent
S101-04 stay-in-place 15-minute fire test combined with James Hardie
exterior siding in accordance with CAN/ULC S101-04 and ASTM E-119,
Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction Material.

high-perforMance Walls
ideal for Multi-story projects
Safer Jobsites and Easier InstallationSafety and efficiency go hand in hand on jobsites using Formtech ICFs. They
provide an unmatched level of flexibility and performance, resulting in a faster
construction process.
Quick on-site assembly of blocks; no special tools required.
Lightweight, interlocking design accelerates wall construction.
Safer to work with; Formtech ICFs result in fewer jobsite injuries.
Efficient, built-in rebar clips are less labor intensive.
Environmentally Friendly ConstructionThinking Green is becoming more and more important in the construction industry
as contractors, developers and home builders look for materials that are eco-friendly.
Formtech is providing leadership in addressing these environmental concerns with a
product that contains no CFCs, HCFCs or formaldehyde. Using concrete walls also
helps cut down on the significant problem of deforestation, a direct result of using
wood products.
An Effective Sound Barrier
Sound Transmission Class, or STC, is the industry measurement for thesound performance of walls. Structures built with Formtech ICFs have
an STC rating of 50 or more, which means loud speech is inaudible.
Wood-frame walls are much less effective with an STC rating of 35;
meaning loud speech is audible but not intelligible. Formtech ICFs
substantially reduce noise and are ideal for such multi-story commercial
projects as condominiums, office buildings and hotels.

coMfort and cost-savings
Built into every hoMeAlong with the many benefits of Formtech ICFs already mentioned, there are a
number of value-added features which need to be taken into consideration when
planning the construction of an ICF home:
eny efficincy
Homes built with Formtech ICFs as exterior walls are less expensive to heat and
cool. Monthly utility costs will be reduced over the lifetime of a home, which
translates into ongoing savings.
Ipvd Ai Qaiy
Solid insulated concrete walls provide a highly effective
barrier against outside air infiltration. Airtight dwellings,
property ventilated, reduce dust and allergens, such as
pollen.
hai Bidins
The Formtech ICF cavities are filled with concrete and
the resulting wall assembly is not conducive to the
growth of mold or mildew. They provide no nutritional
value for pests such as termites, which can causeextensive damage in walls made of wood.
Pac and Qi
Formtech walls significantly reduce the amount of
outside noise penetration, making for a quieter interior
environment.
Fxibiiy in Dsin
The versatility of Formtech ICFs allow builders to create
beautifully designed homes with curves, angles and
any shape imaginable. They can be completed with
any number of different finishes to enhance their beauty, such as siding, brick, stucco or stone.
