In early June insulating concrete form manufacturer Amvic Building System, Toronto, will release a 12 inch ICF that will be 17 inches wide x 24 inches high x 48 inches long. It will be available in a straight form which will cover 8 square feet and in a 90 degree form which will cover 9.83 square feet. The forms are manufactured using 2.5 inches of 1.5lb/cf density EPS foam on each side. The panels are rigid, therefore maintain shape, remain straight and plumb and require less bracing during concrete pouring and curing. The Canadian Construction Material Center (CCMC) has measured the form’s forming capacity strength test at 865 pounds per square foot.
