The 16-inch block height and 4-foot lengths makes it .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 the material.
Thick 2.5″ BuildBlock foam panels on each side deliver R-22 insulation that performs far greater. The foam depth allows you to easily install electrical and plumbing in the foam. The 15″ web height and 16″ block height provide a 1″ foam runner to easily make horizontal runs.
The BuildBlock interlock uses 100% surface to surface connection to make sure that Blocks easily stack and securely lock into place; greatly reduces the need for tape or glue in installation procedures.
The BuildBlock interlock repeats every inch. This means you can trim as little as 1″ and continue using the block. Any piece that is cut off that has a web in it can be used elsewhere in the wall. BuildBlock ICFs provide more layout options; more attachment points, less waste and no mismatched connections.
A molded-in tape measure on the face of the block with vertical cut lines makes cuts faster, easier and straighter. Horizontal cut lines every 2-inches makes it easy to cut blocks for door and window openings, install bucking, and integrate BuildDeck.
