ICF

INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS - A structurally superior build, Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) are forms for cast-in-place, reinforced concrete walls that are left intact to serve as thermal & acoustic insulation.

Insulated Concrete Forms

The product lines we carry are extremely cost effective, significantly improve the energy efficiency and noise control of homes, large buildings and commercial structures and are designed to improve the comfort of occupants as well as “ease of use” by construction and renovation specialists.

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) provide structure, insulation, and air and vapour barriers within one complete system. They have been available in Canada for approximately fifty (50) years with popularity growing as the building industry moves towards the Net Zero & Passive House standards due to changing Customer Preferences and Government Environmental Requirements.

Amvic Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) are a combination of the patented, reversible FormLock™ interlock, EPS composition, innovative web design and web spacing resulting in a superior ICF block that is sustainable, energy efficient and disaster resilient.

Amvic ICF R22

Amvic ICF R22 is a cost effective ICF block providing excellent performance and value to any construction project. The combination of patented FormLock™ interlock and reversible block makes for a fast and easy installation, while considerably reducing job site waste. A wide range of available forms and core sizes allows for limitless design possibilities.

Amvic ICF R30

Amvic ICF R30 is a higher performance ICF block where EPS panel thickness has been increased by 30% making it the highest R-value of any factory assembled block in the industry. The patented FormLock™ interlock has also been improved with the addition of integrated drainage channels. The Amvic ICF R30 block is designed to meet the ever-increasing energy efficiency requirements.

Amvic ICF Vertical

Amvic ICF Vertical is the most versatile ICF system designed to give designers granular control over the thermal performance of their wall assembly. This system can be configured with any core size and virtually any foam panel (Type 3/Type IX) thickness along with one sided application being possible as well. This is an ideal solution for highest performing buildings that aim to meet Passive House or net zero standards.

The BuildBlock ICF product family delivers a solution for ICF projects of any size or complexity. Build your home using the most energy-efficient and disaster-resilient material on the market today. ICFs assemble faster with less hassle and cost than any other system.
