Why build with insulated concrete forms (ICFs)?
Insulated concrete forms are interlocking lightweight
polystyrene blocks that serve as a form for poured concrete walls. The
forms remain in place to provide insulation, a vapor barrier and attachment
surfaces for interior and exterior wall finishings. Businesses and homes
built this way are more energy efficient, stronger, safer and quieter |

More Variety
LOGIX forms come in an industry
standard 16 inch height. To accommodate a wide range of
applications, a variety of forms are available, including brick
ledges, one-sided taper tops, four-inch height adjusters, and
end caps. In addition, LOGIX is the first to offer half-height
versions of its basic forms |

Thicker Foam
Most manufacturers use a variety
of foam thicknesses in their products ranging from 1.5 to 2.5
inches. LOGIX uses 2.75 inch thick foam exclusively in all form
sizes. Thicker foam means more insulating power as well as
strength, which helps prevent damage during handling and
distortion during concrete placement. Walls stay straighter and
flatter. In addition, thicker foam permits standard rough-in
sizing for electrical and plumbing installations. Thicker foam
in all form sizes facilitates trouble free internal vibration
during concrete placement |

Better Webs
Webs are plastic frames that
connect and properly space the two panels of insulating foam.
They also hold in place the steel rebar used to strengthen the
concrete, and provide attachment surfaces for interior and
exterior wall finishes.
The location of web fastening
surfaces is clearly defined on the face of the block. These
fastening surfaces are among the widest and thickest available
anywhere, making it easier for wall subcontractors to attach
fasteners when installing finishes. LOGIX webs are designed so
concrete flows easily through the forms for proper
consolidation. LOGIX webs accept up to #6 rebar that snap into
place, eliminating the time-consuming step of tying all rebar. |
