To add to this, Omni Block grout cells are typically on the interior inside of the wall, thus while giving up some insulation where the grout cells do occur, thermal mass is added. Omni Block has the second part totally correct. The second part of the perfect world however, is that thermal mass would be in the inside of the wall and exposed to the living/work environment.

Our ties run the full height of the block resulting in no settling during the concrete pour.In a perfect world, insulation (heat resistance) would be on the outside of the wall. Our tie design allows for maximum concrete flow through. This also gives you the option of a 12” rebar grid, making the wall stronger and giving engineers more options.

This takes out all vertical and horizontal bulging along block joints, which gives you a flatter wall. Our rebar slots eliminate rebar tying, which leads to faster installation and less headaches.ĭue to the size of our block, our tie size is only 1’ high, making it stronger due to more tie hold and less square footage than our competition (16-18” tall). Our fastener withdrawal tests show up to double the strength of our competitors ties. You don’t have to worry about stripping screws, making it the go to product for all builders. With the thickest flange on the market, our tie performs when fastening anything to it. Our tensile tests exceed strengths of over 850 lbs. This makes your wall stronger and safer giving you peace of mind knowing it will handle the pressure of concrete. Our ties consist of virgin material, which gives a more consistent and higher tie strength.

Learn more about our fortified SuperForm ICF corner system here Our newly updated corner tie and bracket solve one of the biggest challenges ICF installers face: corner blowouts. The 6” inch tie spacing also allows for more attachment points in your wall, giving you more options. With only 4” of foam between ties and 2” of foam on the end of the block, this eliminates vertical or horizontal bulging along block planes and provides a flatter, straighter, and stronger wall. Our 6” tie spacing provides up to 33% more tie per block resulting in one of the strongest blocks on the market. This allows you to match any plan on the jobsite and helps reduce waste. SuperForm ICFs are designed with maximum design freedom with a 1″ repeating cut lines. This eliminates the need to tie or lock down each row, making your installation faster. The built-in anti-lift technology, locking all blocks down by concrete pressure on it. Our panels lock the concrete and EPS together making a connection that will not separate. Our grooved inside panel is designed for better concrete adherence.

The 12” block takes out all vertical bulging in the wall giving you a flatter wall and gives you mores rebar options at 12” centers if needed. Work in trenches or up on the scaffolding. Our light weight block is very easy to handle by yourself, making it easier to Our standard sizing of 4’ long x 1’ high makes building and estimating extremely simple. Our flow through design allow concrete to easily flow and bond to all EPS surfaces. You can have confidence that whatever you fasten to them will be secure. Our thick red tie (7.25mm – 5/16th) every 6”, are made of virgin polypropylene resulting in a higher more consistent tensile strength.

The SuperForm tie stands tall with outstanding performance when compared to other systems. The horizontal connection is so tight there is absolutely no vertical joints spreading. Our unique square knob design offers 35% more surface friction fit than other systems on the market.
