Premier Construction Group inc. preferred I.C.F. system is a stay
in place insulated concrete wall forming system that consists of
expanded polystyrene panels connected by plastic webs. The system
combines the insulating effectiveness of expanded polystyrene (ICF) with
the advantages of a reinforced monolithic concrete wall.
The I.C.F. has a built-in flame retardant agent
and is manufactured at a 1.5 pcf density. When filled with concrete, the
I.C.F. system delivers a monolithic concrete wall thickness of 4", 6"
and 8", an insulation value of R-50, a fire resistance rating of three
hours, and a sound transmission class of 50.
The forms have preformed interlocking mechanism on
top, bottom and end edge to secure courses together, prevent movement of
the forms during concrete placement, and prevent concrete leakage.
