BuildBlock

BuildBlock ICFs (Insulated Concrete Forms) are a cutting-edge concrete form designed to create energy-efficient and durable structures. These forms consist of expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation panels that interlock to create a solid framework for concrete walls. When filled with concrete, BuildBlock ICFs provide exceptional thermal performance, sound resistance, and structural integrity.
The primary benefits of using BuildBlock ICFs include:
1. Energy Efficiency: ICFs offer superior insulation properties, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling. This can lead to significant cost savings over time.
2. Comfortable Living Spaces: The thermal mass of concrete combined with insulation creates a comfortable indoor environment, minimizing temperature fluctuations.
3. Strength and Durability: Structures built with ICFs are resilient against extreme weather conditions, pests, and fire, making them a long-lasting choice for homeowners.
4. Design Flexibility: BuildBlock ICFs support a wide range of architectural designs, allowing for creative and customized building options.
5. Easier Construction: ICFs are lightweight and easy to assemble, making them an ideal choice for both professional builders and DIY homeowners. Training programs are available to help those interested in a DIY experience.
BuildBlock forms come in 4"-8" core sizes with 10"and 12" core sizes available using the BuildLock knockdown block system

Insul-Deck

Insul-Deck is a versatile concrete form product that offers a multitude of benefits for both residential and commercial construction. Its innovative design integrates insulation and concrete formwork, making it an ideal choice for floors, roofs, and even elevated buildings. Here are some of the key advantages of using Insul-Deck:
1. Energy Efficiency: Insul-Deck's insulated concrete forms contribute to a building's thermal performance, reducing the need for extensive HVAC systems and lowering energy bills.
2. Durability: With the strength of reinforced concrete, Insul-Deck structures are built to last, offering resistance to extreme weather, fire, and floods.
3. Sound Reduction: High Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings mean that Insul-Deck can effectively reduce noise, creating a quieter and more peaceful indoor environment.
4. Health Benefits: The materials used in Insul-Deck are inert, not supporting the growth of mold or mildew and providing a healthier living space.
5. Cost-Effective Construction: Insul-Deck panels are pre-cut to specifications, require less shoring, and use up to 50% less concrete and 33% less steel compared to traditional slabs, resulting in significant labor and material savings.
6. Resiliency: Designed to withstand tornado-level winds and impacts from flying debris, Insul-Deck enhances the safety and security of the occupants.
7. Ease of Installation: The lightweight panels come with built-in utility chases and steel furring strips, streamlining the construction process.
8. Versatility: Insul-Deck can be easily integrated with any concrete wall system, making it a popular choice for completing ICF wall building shells.
9. Environmental Impact: By reducing the mass of the structure, Insul-Deck also lowers the environmental footprint of the construction process.
10. Insurance Benefits: Resilient construction with Insul-Deck can lead to reduced insurance costs in many areas, especially for elevated buildings that minimize flood damage.

Fastfoot

In the world of construction, efficiency and sustainability are key. FastFoot, a product designed for forming concrete footings, stands out as a solution that addresses both these concerns. Here's a look at some of the benefits that FastFoot brings to the table:
1. Sustainability: FastFoot is made from high-density polyethylene fabric, a green alternative to traditional lumber and plywood. This not only reduces the carbon footprint but also minimizes waste on construction sites.
2. Cost-Effectiveness: With FastFoot, there's a significant reduction in material costs. A 100-foot roll can form as much concrete as 1,500 pounds of lumber, making it a more economical choice.
3. Durability: The product is designed to prevent concrete damage to screed boards and stakes, allowing for the reuse of these materials indefinitely. This durability translates into long-term savings and less material turnover.
4. Adaptability: FastFoot adapts to uneven ground and rock, with special colored width lines for easy adjustment to uneven excavations. This flexibility can be particularly beneficial in challenging building sites.
5. Moisture Protection: Acting as a damp proof membrane, FastFoot prevents ground moisture from wicking into the concrete, ensuring a drier and healthier indoor environment.
6. Ease of Use: The product is praised for its speed of installation and adaptability to irregular terrain, which can lead to faster completion times and less labor-intensive processes.
Standard: Good for footings up to 18" wide and 10" deep, Narrow: Good for footings up to 24" wide and 13" deep, Wide: Good for footings up to 36" wide and 13" deep

Fast-Tube

The Fast-Tube concrete form product offers a range of benefits for construction projects, particularly when it comes to forming concrete columns. Here are some of the key advantages:
1. Economical: Fast-Tube is cost-effective, as it can be cut to any length from a 100' roll, reducing waste and saving money on materials.
2. Efficient Shipping and Storage: The product ships flat, occupying only 1% of the space required by cardboard tubes, and is lightweight, weighing just 10% of its cardboard counterparts.
3. Durability: Designed to withstand moisture, Fast-Tube helps in creating more durable concrete by preventing rapid hydration during the curing process.
4. Ease of Use: Installation, pouring, and stripping are quick and easy, with the product stripping in seconds.
5. Environmental Benefits: Fast-Tube can be recycled as an under-slab membrane, contributing to sustainable construction practices.
6. All-Weather Resistant: Unaffected by rain and moisture, it provides reliability across various weather conditions.
7. Reduction of Spiral Lines: Unlike cardboard forms, Fast-Tube reduces the appearance of spiral lines on the finished concrete columns, resulting in a smoother finish.
Fast-Tube comes in rolls of 10’ and 100’ rolls and in diameters of 8” to 18”
