How the I.C.E. Block^™ System Works

• The footings are poured, and the bottom row of I.C.E. Block™ forms are set on the wet or dry footings.
• Factory corners are set and braced.
• The I.C.E. Block™ forms are stacked to the desired height and reinforcing steel (rebar) is wired in place.
• Window and door framing is set and braced, and intermediate bracing is set.
• Concrete is placed in the wall and fnished at the top.
• After the concrete sets, the corner and intermediate braces are removed.
• The super insulated monolithic wall is now ready for interior and exterior finish.

	The concrete that fills the hollows at the tops and bottoms of the forms becomes horizontal beams. The horizontal reinforcing is placed on steel stud top edge per engineering requirements (depends on seismic zone).
	The concrete that fills these cylindrical hollows becomes vertical columns. Reinforcing steel is included in at least every second column. The concrete between the columns is called the web.
	Tongues and grooves interlock for correct alignment and insulation seal.
	Pressing the first set of I.C.E. Block™ forms into the wet concrete footing creates a double barrier to water seepage at the footing.
	Standard footing
	1-1/2" wide metal attachment studs are located every 12" on center for fastening your choice of conventional interior and exterior finishes. I.C.E. Block™ has the only real steel stud attachment system.

Factory Corners, when stacked alternately, result in proper metal stud alignment, staggered joints, solid concrete posts, beams and webs, with no waste. I.C.E. Block™ forms can also be trimmed to create a curved wall.
