Smartblock forms are great for forming smooth plumb walls.
Foam block wall construction.
Stack the block lay rebar brace the wall and pour concrete.
They are a lightweight polystyrene eps stay in place concrete form that speeds construction and yields a highly insulated wall.
The molded foam blocks replace traditional forms and since they remain in place after the pour they provide excellent insulation and sound dampening qualities.
Now icf makers like fox blocks have developed foam bucks in the system for a continuous insulated surface.
The building will be well insulated so you won t hear all of the traffic driving by.
Armstrong is proud to work with reddiform to make insulating concrete form building technology available for all residential and commercial applications.
Four foot lifts are recommended with a 3 8 aggregate at a 5 5 5 slump.
However smartblock s special design is also versatile.
Attach the tongue and groove insulation boards to the concrete wall with adhesive.
If the concrete is poured too quickly it may burst through the foam panels resulting.
That means there s a gap between the framing and the icf wall construction.
The building process is simple.
We are rastra and we produce a high quality building system from recycled foam plastics we pioneered the insulated concrete form icf industry and invented and developed the compound or composite icf iccf.
Traditional wood frame construction can t compare to the safety permanence resilience and energy efficiency of walls built with insulating concrete forms.
Of eps on each side.
And if it is going to catch a lot of wind it will be much.
Of concrete core and 2 125 in.
Create an energy efficient and sustainable building with smartblock insulated concrete forms.
The finished wall will be 5 75 in.
Use a premade kit for this type of project.
Rastra is the solution for this century to build environmentally conscious energy efficient buildings that provide a safe and healthy living environment.
For new construction use rigid boards to insulate slabs and the outside of foundation walls.
For a basement remodeling project consider insulating basement walls with foam board.
Jobs go more quickly with less waste and lower costs.
Filling an icf wall with concrete during the construction process is not always simple.
