Greenblock ICF Product Guide:

Greenblock has the most comprehensive ICF product line available in the industry:

• Our 6" and 8" core fixed web blocks; Still the "toughest" block in the industry ,designed after our original Metric block,  the standard design from which several of today's leading ICF companies had their origins.
• Our  GBLOX tm assemble-on-site block: Available in 6",8" and 12" core. Fully compatible with our fixed web product line. Brickledges also available
• Our 2-4-2 assemble -on- site block. Measuring a total 8" wide , the 2-4-2 was specifically designed to replace concrete blocks (CMU). The 2-4-2 system also includes a fixed web corner.

Greenblock's high-performance Insulated Concrete Forms are hollow polystyrene foam blocks that are stacked into the shape of the exterior walls of a structure and serve as forms for poured concrete. The sides of the blocks are connected by high impact polypropylene ties set on 6 inch centers that serve as rebar holders as well as sub-surface furring strips for the attachment of interior and exterior finishes.

Greenblock believes that the right ICF design is essential to providing you, the end-user, with an efficient, hassle-free and financially rewarding building experience. We know you have many choices when deciding which ICF is best suited to your particular needs. To assist you in this process we have devised a checklist of ICF design features that we suggest you look for when comparing competitive products.

THE GREENBLOCK DESIGN:

Web-Ties on 6" centers:

Probably the one most essential design feature when comparing ICF's, web ties on 6" centers create a much stronger block requiring less bracing than blocks with ties on 8" centers. When installed according to our guidelines, Greenblock ICF's virtually eliminate wavy walls and blowouts. They allow for higher pour heights, reduce construction time, utilize less labor and provide more attachment surfaces for interior and exterior finishes.

"Lego-Type" Interlocking Connection System:

Our unique friction-fit "nub system" design eliminates "lifting" during the concrete pour, and minimizes the need for extra gluing, taping or strapping of joints. Water dams between nubs prevent water seepage which insures proper concrete cure and reduces the possibility of moisture infiltration.

Dovetails:

Our unique vertical dovetail grooves on the interior surface of the block insures excellent concrete-to-foam adhesion which helps reduce the possibility of walls "bulging" after the pour.

Flat-Wall Design:

Greenblock's flat-wall design produces an uninterrupted thickness of concrete, evenly distributed throughout the block, thus reducing voids and "honeycombing", adding to the overall strength and energy efficiency of the wall.

Thicker Foam:

Greenblock uses some of the thickest EPS panels in the ICF industry. At 2 5/8" thick, our walls are stronger, flatter and tougher, reducing jobsite damage as well as increasing R-Value. (2-4-2 system has 2" thick panels)

12" Blocks:

Our 12" high blocks translate to less jobsite waste and lower labor costs, as 8-10 ft. walls are the standard ceiling height throughout the US.

Web Design:

Greenblock's sub-surface polypropylene furring strips are thicker and wider than most, providing greater block strength and stability. Clearly marked on the face of our block, the strips provide for easy, efficient attachment of interior and exterior finishes. The webs are also designed to position rebar efficiently in place during the concrete pour.

We encourage you to ask questions, evaluate and compare competitive products. We hope that once you complete this process you'll come to the conclusion that Greenblock is the right ICF for your building project. Your complete satisfaction is not only important to Greenblock, but to the ICF industry as a whole.
