CELBLOX® is also approved as a Wisconsin Building Product (approval 200710) and has Florida Product approval (4985). A copy of this report can be obtained by contacting the CELBLOX® home office at PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS CELBLOX® ICFs are used as a permanent formwork for structural concrete in below-grade and above-grade walls. CELBLOX® ICFs form a solid monolithic concrete wall of uniform thickness which can be designed for use in a great variety of construction projects. Each CELBLOX® Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) consists of two 16”x48” expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels with variable core width hinged connectors from 4” to 12” and has 5.33 s/f or surface area. Embedded webs every 8” on center provide the furring strips needed for unlimited interior and exterior finishes. Each block weights about 6 pounds, making them easy to stage on the jobsite. The CELBLOX® ICF system is shipped with hinged connectors folded flat to minimize freight costs and save space. On the job, the forms can be quickly popped open and are ready to stack. 90º and 45º blocks are available to speed construction and provide an exterior corner nailing strip. In accordance with the International Building Code 2006, plain and reinforced walls constructed in accordance with Chapter 19 do not require a vapor retardant. CELBLOX® recommends that you check the local code requirements in your area to ensure compliance. CELBLOX® ICFs can be used to construct fire rated wall assemblies with the following ratings based on concrete core thickness: CONCRETE THICKNESS FIRE RESISTANCE RATING (inches) 4” & 6” 2 8”, 10”, & 12” 4
