We stock the standard 6"size in our warehouses. This product has become very popular over the years because it can be used by carpenters, do-it yourselfers and masons. It can also be installed in cold weather. There are a number of concrete form manufactures around nowadays. We have chosen this brand due to features that other brands don't have. For instance, they have a folding design for easy shipping and moving around. The forms are 18" high which is conducive to a 9' wall height. The corners are reversible- no left or right. The plastic inserts are also designed to reduce load slumping. And , in our rent-all, we have the special wall braces that are required for the job. Visit the store and see our showroom display. We also have a computer program to quickly calculate the quantity and concrete required to do your new project.
Homes today have to be more than just esthetically pleasing, they have to provide benefits. Open the door to a NUDURA home and see how you can enjoy greater comfort, safety, energy efficiency and a healthier and more eco-friendly Insulated Concrete Form house.
MAXIMUM ENERGY EFFICIENCY FROM YOUR INSULATED CONCRETE FORM HOUSE
With growing energy costs, building an insulated concrete form house is more energy efficient and can save you significant amounts of money on a yearly basis and reduce your carbon footprint. NUDURA insulated concrete form walls vastly reduce air infiltration, which greatly optimizes energy performance. When you combine two panels of 2 5/8” EPS foam with the structural strength and thermal mass of concrete a NUDURA insulated concrete form house can provide R-Values as high as R-50, saving you up to 70% in energy costs
GREATER HOME COMFORT & SOUND RESISTANCE
Outside cold can easily travel through a typical wood-framed wall, causing thermal bridging, and creating uncomfortable cold spots inside your home. Insulated Concrete Form houses built with NUDURA® offer superior performance when it comes to thermal bridging, resulting in even temperatures throughout your home with reduced drafts and cold spots, which optimizes energy performance.
NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms act as an effective sound barrier, filtering out unwanted noise. NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms dampen sound vibrations from unwanted outside noise, such as, traffic, trains and neighbors. A NUDURA Insulated Concrete Form house creates the ultimate in home comfort.
SAFETY FOR YOUR FAMILY
NUDURA offers your family maximum safety with a fire protection rating of up to 4 hours. With a NUDURA Insulated concrete form house, walls are built with steel reinforced concrete and a non-toxic fire retardant expanded polystyrene foam ensuring maximum safety. NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms provide greater impact resistance and will withstand winds of up to 402 kph (250 mph) ensuring that your family and home are safe and secure in almost any situation. The strength of the NUDURA wall comes from the solid concrete core.
LONG-TERM VALUE
A NUDURA Insulated Concrete Form home is built to last, and retains its value longer. The main structural element in a NUDURA home is reinforced concrete which offers substantially better durability and requires less maintenance and repair over its lifetime compare to wood structures that require regular maintenance over it’s limited life span.

Cement Blocks
We stock an inventory of cement blocks. The sizes range from 4" to 12". Concrete blocks are 16" long. You can either buy small quantities out of our yard or we can arrange with the manufacturer to have full house loads shipped directly to your site. (See attached photo). Generally, in this truckload situation, we need 2 or 3 days advance notice. We can calculate the number of blocks that you need including the corner blocks. We also stock the necessary cement and forming boards. If you need a contractor, you can refer to our "Contractor Referrals" section of our menu under " Foundations".

As you can see from the picture, we also can rent you the necessary scaffolding for the job. Our design department can figure out the size of block that you will require. There are a number of factors but the backfill height is one of the most important issues.

Drainage ProductsSteel Culverts (being discontinued)
With a multitude of sizes, shapes, coatings and materials options, Armtec’s corrugated steel pipe (CSP) and related products offer unparalleled versatility and flexibility in designing drainage solutions. In addition, corrugated steel pipe has distinct advantages over other materials because of its light weight, strength, ease of installation, low maintenance and adaptability to various field conditions.
CSP is manufactured from pre-coated steel coil, corrugated and formed into pipe. The range of coatings includes galvanized steel, aluminized steel type 2 and a polymer-laminated coating. Steel thickness and corrugation profile depend on the type of structure, height of cover and live load over the structure.
Product Features:
- Lightweight
- High strength
- Long service life
- Fast installation
- Can be nested for economical shipping
Typical Applications:
- Road culverts
- Storm sewers
- Storm water detention systems
- Utility galleries and conduits

Foundation WrapPlaton
Platon foundation wrap keeps wet soil away from the foundation wall. Any moisture that may find its way past the membrane is carried to the foundation drain by the air gap drainage path. Platon Foundation Protector is commonly used to waterproof block walls, poured concrete walls, permanent wood, existing foundations and Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF).
