DESIGNING WITH A DIFFERENCE.

No matter what kind of design challenges you are considering, insulating concrete form (ICF) construction has the answers. This is a wall system that has been used in all types of construction from basements to high-rise condominiums and everything in between. Exterior walls, interior walls, straight walls, curved walls, arched windows, round windows, any type of design feature you can imagine all have been easily accomplished with Reward.

Tools on the Web: For your convenience there are several tools available on web.

  • The Designer Guide in pdf format (21 pages) is an overview of the iForm.
  • We have a technical data sheet on the iForm.
  • There is also a fact sheet on the Green Building aspects of our iForm.
  • For more detailed information, we have our very comprehensive Installation Manual. It contains step-by-step installation procedures (Section 4), installation details (Section5) and engineering details (Section 6).
  • The (details from Section 5) are available to download in AutoCAD (dwg) or generic CAD (dxf).

Continuing Ed Training: For your convenience we offer an 8-hour training seminar that is good for 8 AIA accredited and/or 8 NYS accepted HSW credits. For engineers it is NYS accepted for 8 engineering contact hours. Click here for more information.

Architects

  • Cast-in-place steel-reinforced concrete walls let you express what the building should be doing.
  • You can satisfy your clients while designing the best building that can be built for the lowest cost and affording them unparalleled energy efficiency.  ICF walls have a true R-value of 23, plus the effects of thermal mass.
  • ICF walls have a sound class rating of 49, dramatically reducing noise transference.
  • The ICF's we carry meet all national building code requirements.  They also hold 3- and 4-hour fire ratings and universal non-combustible code approval for Type I through Type IV construction.
  • Systems integration is easy. Reward forms can be used to form any type of wall.
