BuildBlock Knockdown ICF System is a patented ICF building system that uses interlocking EPS foam blocks to create a formwork for reinforced concrete walls. The unique feature of the Knockdown ICF System is that forms ship flat in bundles and the appropriate bridges are then used to create the needed form core size.

Easy assembly of the forms onsite makes it ideal for structures that require thick or multiple core sizes. Installation is quick and efficient.

The Knockdown ICF System’s interlocking design allows for a tight and secure formwork for the concrete, which includes internal webs connecting a continuous insulation layer to eliminate thermal bridging and air leaks. The system also includes a snap-in plastic connector that holds the blocks together, making the assembly process fast and straightforward.

The reinforced concrete is poured into the formwork, creating a solid and durable wall system. The concrete core provides excellent resistance to wind, debris, and other natural disasters, making Knockdown ICFs a popular choice for construction in areas prone to severe weather events.

The insulation properties of the EPS foam in the formwork provide superior energy efficiency and can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 50%. The tight fit of the formwork also offers excellent sound insulation properties, making Knockdown ICFs ideal for structures where noise is a concern.

The use of Knockdown ICFs offers a range of benefits, including ease of assembly and disassembly, versatility in design, and environmental responsibility. The EPS foam used in the formwork is recyclable, and the long-term energy savings of Knockdown ICFs can help reduce a building’s carbon footprint. Additionally, the customizable design of Knockdown ICFs allows for flexibility in construction, making it possible to build a variety of structures, from temporary housing to permanent commercial buildings.
