The Phoenix Engineered Wall System

An Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) is two sheets of Polystyrene foam that are held together by a plastic tie that creates a cavity. The cavity is filled with concrete during the construction process. The result is a superior wall that is insulated by expanded polystyrene providing two built in layers of foam insulation. Concrete, the center of the wall, is the most proven building material available.

At the center of the ICF is the tie. The tie system designed by Phoenix is what makes them the leader in the industry. It is stronger than any other tie on the market. It has an open design that allows concrete to easily flow through, creating no voids. The ties are placed on 8 inch centers, highly consistent with standard construction dimensions, and provide an internal nailing surface.

Phoenix has taken insulating concrete form technology to a new level.
