Insulated Concrete Forms

amvic differenceThe Amvic Difference

Amvic is the most user-friendly insulated concrete form (also known as insulating concrete form) product on the market due to its innovative design which increases speed of construction, reduces labor costs and provides the highest level of performance during and after installation.
The powerful combination of the patented, reversible FormLock™ interlock, EPS composition, innovative web design and web spacing results in:

  • Less taping, tying or gluing during installation.
  • Less than 1% waste vs. up to 6% for most competitors.
  • Ability to withstand internal vibration, ensuring a structurally superior wall.
  • Fully reversible blocks.

In addition, Amvic is the strongest ICF block form on the market as proven by the Canadian Construction Material Center (CCMC) Forming Capacity Strength Test (Technical Guide 03131) at 865 lbs./ft2.

Building with Amvic ICF wall systems in conjunction with our own rigid foam insulation product SilveRboard, and our ICF flooring solution Amdeck, Amvic really delivers a complete solution for today’s energy conscious builder.

Ease of ConstructionSuperior Product Strength

form containing 8 uniquely designed polypropylene webs spaced 6 inches on center compared to 8 inches on center in most competing products. Amvic webs also use more raw material than other ICF blocks, which allows for a 198 lb pull out strength for drywall screws and makes the form more rigid. The webs also have a uniquely designed rebar holding system that reduces the need for tie downs and places the rebar in the most effective locations to ensure superior structural strength. Amvic ICF is the strongest block on the market as proven by Canadian Construction Material Center (CCMC) forming capacity strength test in technical guide 03131 at 865 lbs./sq. ft. Not only is Amvic’s ICF currently the only ICF to pass this test, but the test requirements were surpassed substantially.

Performance

When filled with concrete, Amvic ICF consistently performs and does not blow out. With Amvic you can use a pencil vibrator to internally consolidate the concrete and ensure that the walls will be properly.

advicLightweight

Amvic ICFs are lightweight, requiring little effort to lift and carry therefore greatly reducing the number of back strains and injuries from construction. The weight of 1 sq. ft of masonry wall is equivalent to the weight of over 42. sq. ft of an Amvic ICF wall. Not only are compensation costs reduced, but crews are safe, much less tired and maintain strength throughout the day. Amvic ICFs are easy to cut and shape making unconventional wall shapes manageable.
