Taper Top forms are specif­i­cal­ly designed to pro­vide a larg­er bear­ing sur­face along the top of the wall. Typ­i­cal­ly, the increased bear­ing sur­face may be used to sup­port mason­ry, floor or roof loads. Taper top forms are used in the tran­si­tion from ICF to wood frame con­struc­tion and the taper top form would be the top form on the wall.

Com­mer­cial ICF con­struc­tion has strict stan­dards, codes, bud­gets and time­lines to fol­low, and mak­ing sure you imple­ment ICFs accu­rate­ly and effi­cient­ly is impor­tant. We com­piled a list of the top ICF FAQs we get to help you feel con­fi­dent in your deci­sion to choose Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Forms for your next project.

Fox Block­’s Glen Klassen shows you how to get it done for three dif­fer­ent radius­es.

Fox Blocks forms have a reversible inter­lock sys­tem on all blocks. The robust inter­lock allows the blocks to fit togeth­er very tight­ly, elim­i­nat­ing any require­ment for adhe­sives. A reversible inter­lock speeds up the instal­la­tion.

No. Spec­i­fi­ca­tions in the Amer­i­ca Con­crete Insti­tute (ACI) do not lim­it the max­i­mum dis­tance con­crete can free fall. Engi­neer­ing stud­ies and reports have shown that free fall from up to 35′ doesn’t reduce con­crete qual­i­ty and there is no evi­dence of seg­re­ga­tion or weak­ened con­crete strength. ICF con­crete design calls for a high slump mix which assists in reduc­ing seg­re­ga­tion.
