The Hobbs Vertical Insulated Concrete Form system includes more “Built-In” features than any other ICF available on the market. The rigorous 3rd party physical testing performed by Iowa State University provided important structural strength data and independent licensed structural engineers through-out North America support the use of the Hobbs Vertical ICF system. The building code approved design installs faster with-out the need for specialty ICF bracing or equipment and is an excellent choice for sub-contracting trades or the D-I-Y market. The Hobbs Vertical ICF is a great choice for your residential and light commercial project!

The Hobbs Vertical ICF Wall System is:

Engineered

  • Use either our proprietary and patented “Contour Wall”™ or “Flat Wall” concrete core designs provides choice and flexibility for your building’s structural requirements. Discuss with a Hobbs VICF representative to which design is best for your project.
  • Our ICF is supported by 3rd party physical testing (strength) that proves the the Hobbs VICF system performs exceptionally well from basement foundations, multi-level projects and commercial applications. Most of our projects use Hobbs VICF from footing or slab to roof.
  • +2 years of engineering and on-going product development makes it the smartest and well thought-out ICF system on the market
  • Our “Modified Post and Beam Design” (Contour Wall™), saves concrete, +R30 insulation and installs in half the time of competitive “Block” ICF’s
  • Fail-safe locking grid design™. Joints/Seems between panels are fully supported by our furring assemblies (studs)
  • Exceptional durability of concrete saves in long-term maintenance costs. Unlike wood construction, our system doesn’t and is not a “food” source for pests, such as, termites
  • Reinforced concrete construction as a proven track record of with-standing natural disasters, such as, tornadoes and hurricanes

Greener

  • The Hobbs VICF System uses up to 40% less* concrete
  • The EPS foam panels are thicker overall than typical “block” ICF systems, providing more insulation value, generating higher energy savings and an exceptional +R30* insulation value
  • This product is produced using recycled content
  • The system is smart, designed to reduce post-construction waste
  • The materials are sustainable
  • The Hobbs VICF system is a “Knock-Down” design. This means more S.F. of product ships on a truck-load while saving cost of shipping

Easier

  • No tying, taping or gluing required!
  • Our system is faster to assemble – requiring less experienced labor
  • The product is vertical, meaning assembly is performed mostly from the ground
  • More user-friendly, rebar can be pre-loaded in our furring assemblies (studs) and staged for a faster and less hassle during wall assembly
  • Our system is a 5-in-1 product that combines the structure, insulation, framing and air and moisture barrier all into one product which reduces over-all construction time!
  • Hobbs HVICF components are pre-cut to your wall height saving time and money
