Product Descriptions

Poured-In-Place Walls

Quad-Lock® wall system 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 or CFCs. Four panel types, two panel sizes, ten wall configurations and virtually limitless wall thicknesses are available. The resulting R-values range 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, an adjustable version accommodating almost any wall angle, and versions for bucks / end-caps and buttress walls.

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

Floor & Roof Applications

Quad-Deck® uses Plastbau® technology to create an energy efficient and quality insulating concrete floor or roof system. Ideal for use in both commercial and residential construction, Quad-Deck combines the strength, security and reliability of concrete with the energy efficiency, design flexibility and comfort of insulating concrete forms.

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.

Tilt-Up Applications

Quad-Lock's FAST-R solution is a lightweight form used to create panelized, reinforced concrete walls. The FAST-R forms stay in place to deliver an integrated, insulated wall system. Each EPS panel is supported and reinforced with two integral steel beams molded into the product from end to end. The result is a self-supporting system that provides the maximum strength of a reinforced concrete wall with a minimum of materials and labor.

Retrofit Insulation for existing buildings

Quad-Lock is pleased to announce the launch of a new insulation system aimed at the renovation market. The R-ETRO System is a fast, flexible, non-invasive form of insulation that will add an R-value of R-18 to existing wall surfaces. The system easily adapts to the shape of an existing building and around protrusions and openings. It can be attached to any wall structure: wood, concrete, steel, brick or masonry block.
 

How Quad-Lock is different

  • Uncomplicated Design: Few basic components ensure simplicity in design, construction and supply.
  • Unrivaled Versatility: We offer forms with true R-Values of 22, 32, and 40; ten wall configurations, angles of any degree, curves, bracing, attachment accessories, waterproofing and stucco systems.
  • Unmatched Integration: Our Quad-Deck product - a concrete floor and roof system - provides a complete insulated concrete structure.
  • Unequalled Support: Quad-Lock provides nationwide, on-site training. Our strong dealer network provides local assistance and inventory. Quad-Lock's head office compliments its field offices with strong engineering and training talents.
  • Unmistakable Commitment: Our product development team works with our customers to bring timely, field-tested products to market. Quad-Lock is one of the only ICF manufacturers who are ISO 9001:2000 certified.
  • Unheralded Comfort & Quality: Quad-Lock walls & floors dramatically reduce outside noise creating a quiet, peaceful indoor atmosphere (STC ratings of 50+). Airtight Quad-Lock walls reduce air infiltration, creating a mold-free environment and eliminating drafts and cold spots, thereby giving the occupants greater control over the quality of the interior air. Energy savings are documented to range from 40 - 70%. Job-site waste is less than 2% all of which can be re-used within the project, or easily recycled. Walls have up to a 4-hour fire rating because it's rock solid reinforced concrete.
