Facts

Homes built with Superform are, on average, twice as energy efficient as conventionally built 2" x 6" stick built houses.

The Superform blocks are the strongest, most user-friendly building blocks available, and are designed entirely by people in the building industry.

Superform blocks are the only blocks available with built-in backing at the outside corners for easy fastening of exterior finishes.

The Superform ties are 1-3/4” wide and 5/16” thick, and are spaced at 6” on center, and are the only system providing such superb backing for screws and other fasteners.

Superform walls have a sound-transfer rating superior to any other wall system.

A Superform wall has a 3-hour fire-rating, while a standard 2" x 6" stick built wall has virtually no fire-rating at all.

Properly engineered Superform walls can be built several stories high.

According to the Portland Cement Association, concrete poured and cured inside an insulating concrete form gains approximately 30% more strength than the same concrete poured in wood forms.
