Our tensile tests exceed strengths of over 850 lbs. This makes your wall stronger and safer giving you peace of mind knowing it will handle the pressure of concrete. Our ties consist of virgin material, which gives a more consistent and higher tie strength. Learn more about our fortified SuperForm ICF corner system here Our newly updated corner tie and bracket solve one of the biggest challenges ICF installers face: corner blowouts. The 6” inch tie spacing also allows for more attachment points in your wall, giving you more options. With only 4” of foam between ties and 2” of foam on the end of the block, this eliminates vertical or horizontal bulging along block planes and provides a flatter, straighter, and stronger wall. Our 6” tie spacing provides up to 33% more tie per block resulting in one of the strongest blocks on the market. This allows you to match any plan on the jobsite and helps reduce waste. SuperForm ICFs are designed with maximum design freedom with a 1″ repeating cut lines. This eliminates the need to tie or lock down each row, making your installation faster. The built-in anti-lift technology, locking all blocks down by concrete pressure on it. Our panels lock the concrete and EPS together making a connection that will not separate. Our grooved inside panel is designed for better concrete adherence. The 12” block takes out all vertical bulging in the wall giving you a flatter wall and gives you mores rebar options at 12” centers if needed. Work in trenches or up on the scaffolding. Our light weight block is very easy to handle by yourself, making it easier to Our standard sizing of 4’ long x 1’ high makes building and estimating extremely simple. Our flow through design allow concrete to easily flow and bond to all EPS surfaces. You can have confidence that whatever you fasten to them will be secure. Our thick red tie (7.25mm – 5/16th) every 6”, are made of virgin polypropylene resulting in a higher more consistent tensile strength. The SuperForm tie stands tall with outstanding performance when compared to other systems. The horizontal connection is so tight there is absolutely no vertical joints spreading. Thanks to the ICF construction and solid design form, this home has a quiet but resilient presence in what is a busy suburban location.Our unique square knob design offers 35% more surface friction fit than other systems on the market. This semi-brutalist appearance is softened by the warmth of hardwood timbers and the overall palette is rounded off with feature 4mm powdercoated aluminium screens with a waterjet cut pattern which provides privacy to spaces when viewed from the street yet still allows plenty of light into those bedrooms for the inhabitants. This basic construction principle means that the form of the building imparts a bold effect and highlights the strength and durability of the ICF. The design provides for simplicity of construction - another key criteria – with main loadbearing walls located over one another. Instead of conforming to a stereotypical suburban house, our design solution was to provide a building that is a distinct juxtaposition to the norm. This excellent brief enabled us to explore ways to utilise Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) as the main construction material. In this project, our client wanted to create a strong and durable structure that provided privacy while also allowing for passive, sustainable principles to be implemented.
