About Quad-Lock Building Systems

Insulating Concrete Forming (ICF) systems are a comparatively new building technology for residential, commercial and institutional projects. Currently, ICF construction makes up approximately 5% of new residential construction and is growing at 25% per year. ICF construction is gaining momentum over other building methods because of its unparalleled comfort, energy efficiency and safety ratings. All of which are very favorable benefits for incorporating sustainable building practices, or simply for higher property or resale value.

Product Descriptions

Quad-Lock^® is a panel type ICF wall system consisting of Panels, Ties, Metal Track and Metal Brackets. Quad-Lock Panels are made with high density, fire retardant expanded polystyrene (EPS) and contain no formaldehyde, HFCs, CFCs or other harmful substances. Four panel types, two panel sizes, ten wall configurations and virtually limitless wall thicknesses are available resulting in R-values ranging from R-22 to R-40 - the highest in the industry! Plastic Ties ingeniously connect the panels, secure the reinforcing steel in place, while also providing a means to anchor drywall, siding and temporary bracing. The Metal Track is used to start and finish the walls and the Metal Brackets create the strongest corners in the industry eliminating additional outside bracing at corners and angles. Metal Brackets come in a 90° version and in an adjustable version accommodating almost any angle.

Applications include load bearing walls, shear walls, fire resistant walls, basement walls, retaining walls, and foundation walls incorporated in residential, industrial and institutional construction.

The revolutionary QUAD-DECK^® floor, roof, and tilt-up forming system is a "pan floor" form designed for both commercial and residential construction. Quad-Deck panels shape a series of T-beams every 24" [610mm] which integrate with a concrete slab. The resulting monolithic concrete structure provides two-way span capacity and a shear plane for superior structural performance using less concrete & less time.
