BuildBlock®, BuildLock®, and BuildRadius Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs)
Company: BuildBlock Building Systems, LLC
Code Compliance Research Reports: CCRR-1003
The BuildBlock® and BuildLock® ICFs consist of two Type II, expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam panels separated by injection-molded polypropylene cross-ties which are partially embedded into the EPS panels. BuildLock® ICFs are knock-down versions of BuildBlock® ICFs. BuildLock® ICFs are shipped as components and are assembled on a jobsite.
The polypropylene cross-ties maintain the EPS facings at a fixed clear distance of 4 inches, 6 inches, 8 inches, 10 inches or 12 inches to create overall form widths of 9 inches, 11 inches, 13 inches, 15 inches or 17 inches. The form units have a preformed interlocking mechanism along the top and bottom edges, to facilitate interlocking and stacking. BuildBlock® ICFs are available in standard, 45-degree angle corners, 90-degree angle corners and ledge forms. The ledge forms are used to construct corbels that serve as ledgers to support exterior brick veneers and interior floor systems. BuildLock® ICFs are available in standard and 90-degree angle forms.
BuildRadius is an insulating concrete form system consisting of two 2.5 in. thick (nominal density of 1.5 pcf) expanded polystyrene panels separated by injection-molded polypropylene cross-ties. BuildRadius is available in 2-, 4-, 8-, 12-, 16-, and 20-foot arc forms.
