Lite-Form Insulated Concrete Forms
Quiet: The solid concrete walls provide a superior barrier to sound pollution: they are preferred for areas with high noise levels. The Lite-Form system can reduce noise penetration by up to 50% when compared to conventionally framed perimeter walls.

Energy Efficient: The most dramatic homeowner benefit is the insulating value of the high-mass concrete walls combined with the superior performance of the extruded polystyrene insulation. Values in excess of R-25 can reduce overall heating/cooling costs by 20% and more, when compared to framed homes. The solid concrete walls virtually eliminate air leakage without the need for exterior wrapping or sheathing.

Strong: Lite-Form walls easily resist 100+ mph winds and are often used in high risk regions, for "safe room" and "safe home" projects. Form walls are up to 8 times stronger than typical wood frame construction. Below ground, the reinforced walls resist buckling and cracking nearly 5 times better than hollow concrete block foundations.

Fire Resistant: The typical 3-hour rating (6-inch concrete walls) is a comforting benefit for home owners. They often enjoy lower insurance rates due to the permanent protection of solid concrete.

Versatile: Lite-form creates the same flat, monolithic concrete walls as conventional, removable forms. They require no special struc- tural engineering or design changes. A full range of interior/exterior finishes mean that homeowners can choose from any architectural or period styling.

Speed: Dimensional lumber and hand tools are all that's needed for most projects. The streamlined set-up and bracing allow an expe- rienced crew to build and finish structures in less time than most other building systems.

Lite-Deck
Lite-Deck® is the solid concrete alternate for conventional floor and deck applications in homes, townhouses or apartment buildings.

The Lite-Deck® ICF System is a lightweight, stay-in-place form made of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and used to construct site-cast or precast concrete floors, roofs, decks, and walls for commercial, industrial and residential uses. Lite-Deck® provides structural strength through reinforced concrete and EPS insulation through.

Lite-Deck® utilizes 18 gauge steel framing studs every 12 inches. They act as furring strips to which interior finishes can be attached after concrete is cured to its required design strength and temporary shoring has been removed.

FORM–A–DRAIN

Although you don&t see it, the system at the very base of your home that provides drainage to your foundation plays a critical role in keeping your basement or crawlspace dry. CertainTeed Form–A–Drain is the highest quality, most innovative foundation drainage system on the market today.

Form–A–Drain outlines the footing, a strip of concrete that defines the basement perimeter and upon which the basement walls rest. Because it is installed before the footing is poured and stays in place permanently, Form–A–Drain is always in the optimum position — right up against the side of the footing and level with its top — to provide superior drainage, with to a sump pit or away from the house.

Other drainage systems are designed to be installed after the footing is poured, making it difficult to maneuver them into the correct position. As a result, they may not be as effective in channeling water from your foundation.

Form–A–Drain´s unique design and the fact that is encloses the entire perimeter of the foundation also allow it to be adapted for use as part of a radon venting system where needed. This avoids the need to drill holes in your new walls and floors after the house has been built. You don´t see Form–A–Drain once your new home is complete, but knowing it´s there, helping to keep you and your family dry and comfortable, is a good feeling. Start off on the right footing. Tell your builder you want Form–A–Drain, the best foundation drainage and venting system available.

Lite-Form concrete walls can be used for nearly all residential or commercial floor plans without making any major design changes.

Electric/Plumbing lines are concealed in channels carved with an electric blade or router. Outlets and switch boxes are anchored directly to the concrete.

Drywall is anchored directly to the exposed Tie pads (located every 8-inch on center)with drywall screws or adhesive. Steel ln-Wall Bracing is installed into the form to insure proper wall alignment. This exclusive accessory is available in various widths and is used vertically (site assembled) or horizontally (pre-assembled). Virtually any type of exterior finish material can be applied over the Lite-Form wall. This includes traditional siding, brick veneer, stucco or synthetic EIFS materials. When Lite- Form is used below grade, a waterproofing membrane or latex-based liquid is applied directly onto the insulating form walls.
