ICF Block
The Liteform Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) embody the forefront of ICF technology, showcasing cutting-edge advancements aimed at minimizing labor demands within construction sites. These pre-assembled units, standing at a height of 16 inches and measuring 48 inches in length, boast an ingenious foldable strap mechanism. This innovation empowers the forms to be conveniently collapsed into a flat configuration, optimizing aspects of storage, packaging, shipping, and manual handling.
Noteworthy in its versatility, the Liteform ICF range encompasses varying core widths, namely 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 inches. Each width is accompanied by a comprehensive array of accessories, collectively facilitating the seamless assembly of a wall system constructed entirely from solid concrete. Inherent within the Liteform ICF system lies the capacity to engender building envelopes that are both ecologically sustainable and imbued with energy-efficient attributes.
New York PolySteel manufactures the Liteform series of pre-assembled ICF block shapes designed for both residential and commercial projects, whether they have single or multiple stories. The smooth and unified cavities fulfill all building code criteria. The presence of uninterrupted furring straps, ready-made corners, and exclusive accessories ensures a rapid and straightforward setup and upkeep process.
Benefits
Liteform insulated concrete form provides a continuous insulation barrier that eliminates thermal bridging, air infiltration. No additional cost of insulation or framing that might be caused by external temperature changes. Windows and doors are simple to install in the system. Also, Liteforms’ internal mounting system also serves as an attachment point for any interior or exterior finish. The smooth EPS finish of Liteform is also ready to accept cement finishes such as EIFS Stucco, Hardie plank, vinyl siding or culture stone.
Folding Efficiency
Liteform ICF blocks are developed to reduce the rising costs of shipping, CO2 emissions and site space. We can only offer these savings with our patented fold shapes. Liteform foldable design significantly reduces shipping costs and workspace by 55%. One single truck of Liteform ICF = 7,700 sq ft of the wall compared with other non-collapsible ICFs, which usually fits only 3,500 square feet wall form per truck. These building components reduce carbon production and environmental impact without sacrificing superior strength and performance.
Unique Features
New York PolySteel offers unique features such as exclusive living-hinge technology. Liteform’s patented living hinge improves the economy, reduces shipping costs, simplifies handling, and reduces environmental impact without sacrificing performance. Eliminate waste and reduce assembly time while using Internal Block Locks.
Superior Results
Structures constructed using Liteform ICF’s are designed to last far longer than traditional methods. The use of the Liteform Insulated Concrete form system conserves precious natural forest while promoting sustainable, green buildings that are an investment for the future.
In addition to energy efficiency, New York Polysteel also offer resilient buildings that are more resistant to heavy weather; including hurricanes, floods and fire than buildings constructed from traditional wood.
