Totally reversible - top & bottom; corner form works for
either left or right corners. BuildBlock is completely

installation, less waste. |
| Completely finished,
assembled block
|
No onsite assembly
required; no labor time wasted. |
|
Industry-standard size: 16" high x 48" long |
More easily adapted to non-ICF home plans;
less waste when cutting around doors and windows; this size
block produces the most efficient use of material. |
|
Foam panels are 2.5" wide on each side. |
Foam depth allows easy accommodation of electric and plumbing
installations. |
|
Interlocking connection design |
Blocks easily stack and securely lock into
place; greatly reduces need for tape or glue in installation
procedures. |
|
1-inch repeating cut pattern |
More layout options; less waste; no bastard
connections. |
|
Molded-in horizontal cut lines every 2 inches |
No need to mark forms; faster cutting. |
|
Numbered vertical cut lines on every inch |
Eliminates the need for a tape measure |
|
High-density plastic web, molded in place
every 6 inches |
6-inch spacing makes for a stronger form than
the 8-inch spacing found in most other ICFs. Plastic web
doesn't transmit sound or conduct heat or cold. |
|
Near full-height, 1-1/2" wide web |
Provides maximum strength and sheetrock
attach points while leaving one inch between courses for
easy electrical and plumbing installation. Also, the
1-1/2" wide web matches the width of a 2"x4" stud. |
|
Completely symmetrical web |
Produces two identical halves when form is
cut in two horizontally. |
|
Open web design |
Allows for optimum concrete flow |
|
Deep snap-in rebar saddles hold two 5/8"
rebar in place |
No need for rebar ties; faster installation. |

Extra heavy-duty attachment points (400 lbs.
+) every 8 inches |
Allows for super secure attachment of bracing
or heavy cabinetry. Don't trust anything less for your fine
china! |
|
Longer corner forms with molded-in, 2-1/2"
wide corner web |
Eliminates need for additional strapping
during installation and pour. Also, the 2-1/2" x 6" (each
direction) web provides superior attachment surfaces. |
