Our tensile tests exceed strengths of over 850 lbs. This makes your wall stronger and safer giving you peace of mind knowing it will handle the pressure of concrete. Our ties consist of virgin material, which gives a more consistent and higher tie strength. Because of our knob system, virgin tie material, and tie spacing, we create a simpler installation for builders saving you significant time, effort, and money.

While other systems require zip ties, wire ties, glue/spray foam, form lock, kickers, or even applying plywood to every corner, SuperForm simplifies your installation without these extras. Due to the unmatched strength of SuperForm, there is no need for extra accessories.

The 6” inch tie spacing also allows for more attachment points in your wall, giving you more options.Īll these features provide the installer peace of mind during the install and concrete pour. With only 4” of foam between ties and 2” of foam on the end of the block, this eliminates vertical or horizontal bulging along block planes and provides a flatter, straighter, and stronger wall. Our 6” tie spacing provides up to 33% more tie per block resulting in one of the strongest blocks on the market. This allows you to match any plan on the jobsite and helps reduce waste. SuperForm ICFs are designed with maximum design freedom with a 1″ repeating cut lines. This eliminates the need to tie or lock down each row, making your installation faster. The built-in anti-lift technology, locking all blocks down by concrete pressure on it. Our panels lock the concrete and EPS together making a connection that will not separate. Our grooved inside panel is designed for better concrete adherence. The 12” block takes out all vertical bulging in the wall giving you a flatter wall and gives you mores rebar options at 12” centers if needed. Work in trenches or up on the scaffolding. Our light weight block is very easy to handle by yourself, making it easier to Our standard sizing of 4’ long x 1’ high makes building and estimating extremely simple. Our flow through design allow concrete to easily flow and bond to all EPS surfaces. You can have confidence that whatever you fasten to them will be secure. Our thick red tie (7.25mm – 5/16th) every 6”, are made of virgin polypropylene resulting in a higher more consistent tensile strength. The SuperForm tie stands tall with outstanding performance when compared to other systems.
The horizontal connection is so tight there is absolutely no vertical joints spreading. The result? The shell of your home is completed in less than a week.Our unique square knob design offers 35% more surface friction fit than other systems on the market. In practice, you receive pallets on site containing the exact number of blocks required for your project.Īll that remains is to follow the plan provided, assemble the wooden blocks like interlocking building block toys, and fasten everything in place with the battens provided for this purpose. This light weight makes them ideal for self-building your project! In contrast to insulating formwork blocks, the special feature of Gablok insulated wooden blocks is that they weigh no more than 9 kg. It is a lightweight material that saves on resources and is therefore easily transportable. This insulation combined with wood provides optimal thermal insulation while preserving the environment: EPS is in the form of beads that expand when they come into contact with heat. The insulation is EPS expanded polystyrene. The insulation is integrated directly into the wooden block so that no chemicals are added inside. Steel bars can be added to strengthen the structure.Īs far as the Gablok concept is concerned, the structure of our insulated blocks is made of OSB wood (a stable wood that does not expand or contract any further).
In the case of insulating formwork blocks made with expanded polystyrene, cement is also poured inside the blocks when they are put in place. Once assembled to form the walls of the building, cement is poured inside to stabilise the blocks. The structure of formwork blocks is made of concrete in most cases. The main difference between Gablok insulated wooden blocks and site formwork blocks is their composition. Insulated wooden blocks, suitable for self-building While both types of insulating blocks provide insulation, stability, verticality, waterproofing, and a meticulous finish without the need for large tools, Gablok self-build blocks are not designed like traditional insulating formwork blocks. This is because both types of building blocks make up the formwork (structure) of the house. The shape of Gablok self-build blocks is directly inspired by insulating formwork blocks.
