Insulated Concrete Forms
The Quality
Advantage
Insulated Concrete Forms are a revolutionary building system that saves time
and money. ICF's are a stay-in-place insulating concrete forming system
that we use for below grade in the residential homes we construct. Each
foam block weights 5 pounds and replaces 6 concrete masonry units. Each
block coincides with dimensional lumber, which makes systems integration
easy and a perfect choice for residential and commercial application. |

- Furring strips align to bottom at 12" o.c. and hold nails
or screws.

voids.
