I was browsing through the ICF Builder site and saw a piece on a new ICF from type. Called EnergyForm the companies website is pretty poor and shows very little info. Did anyone see this at WOC this year? Opinions? $? Below is the blurb from ICF Builder: New Polyurethane ICF Unveiled A new insulating concrete form, made from fiberglass and polyurethane, was unveiled at World of Concrete. Called EnergyForm, the product is significantly different from other stay-in-place forming systems. The forms are large—eight feet long and 32 inches tall—which leads to faster installation, stiffer walls, and fewer joints and bracing. The polyurethane core is denser than the EPS typically used, which translates to a higher R-Value per inch of wall. The core is sandwiched between two fiberglass panels, which add strength and rigidity to the system. The polypropylene ties, located 12 inches on center, are marked with a divot in the exterior sheathing, and can create concrete core thicknesses of 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 inches. Designed by a contractor with 30 years experience working with concrete, the system claims to resolve blowout and bracing concerns, and can reach an 8' ceiling height in just three courses.
