Insulated Concrete Forms

Element ICF

Insulated Concrete Forms

Element ICF® is a high-performance ICF system that combines concrete strength, continuous insulation, and lasting comfort.

What is Element ICF?

Element ICF combines two high-performance EPS panels with a steel-reinforced concrete core. This creates a single, integrated wall system that provides structure, insulation, airtightness, and moisture protection — all in one step.
The result is a stronger, quieter, more energy-efficient building envelope.

Element ICF Applications

6 in 1 Construction

Element ICF combines six essential wall components in one system: structure, insulation, air barrier, vapor barrier, fastening surface, and concrete form. That means fewer steps, less labor, and a faster path to a high-performance wall.

A Full Suite of ICF Products

PREFORMED BLOCKS
Insulated Concrete Forms

Preformed Blocks

Built for Direct to Site Speed
Prebuilt ICF blocks that reduce field assembly and keep installation moving.

Site-Assembled Blocks

Flexible block assembly and rebar spacing
Panels and Flexties ship efficiently to reduce freight costs and save storage space.

Fortruss

Built for insulated structural concrete spans
A suspended slab forming system for floors, roofs, and decks with high thermal performance.

FLEXTIES

Flexible block assembly and rebar spacing
Flexties snap into Element panels for fast site-assembled blocks and flexible horizontal rebar spacing in reinforced wall applications.
ICF Inserts to increase R-Values

Inserts

Built for higher thermal performance
The Element ICF Insert is a precision-crafted slide-in panel that delivers additional R-value to an Element ICF wall assembly.

Probuck

Built for framed openings
Panels that frame and insulate window and door openings with built-in fastening areas.

Taper Top

Built for top-course support
Creates wider bearing support for floors, roofs, and framed wall transitions.

Element ICF Chrome

Built for higher thermal performance
Element ICF is available in Chrome. Graphite-enhanced insulation that increases R-value within the Element system to R-27.

Why Element ICF?

Dealers

Stock a focused mix of panels, Flexties, and 90s to cover more jobs with fewer SKUs. Flat-packed loads improve freight efficiency, outdoor storage options free space, and simpler quoting helps drive repeat business.

Contractors & Installers

Build faster with a reversible, site-assembled system—no top/bottom, front/back, or left/right corners. Strong interlock reduces movement during the pour, with cut lines and consistent fastening strips to speed finishing.

Architects & Engineers

Specify a hybrid ICF system with interchangeable preformed and site-assembled blocks and multiple core widths (4″–12″). Continuous insulation, airtight assembly, and concrete thermal mass support high-performance wall design.

Homeowners

Enjoy a quieter, more comfortable home with continuous insulation and an airtight concrete wall system (typical assembly R-24). Added resilience includes wind-rated performance, fire rating, and moisture resistance that won’t rot.
