Product information
Product name
Advantage Insulating Concrete Forming (ICF) SystemProduct description
The product is a modular, interlocking concrete form system consisting of 2 expanded polystyrene panels. Embedded in the polystyrene panels are polypropylene connectors that are equally spaced at 203 mm horizontally for the 150-mm-thick concrete wall form and 152 mm horizontally for the 200-mm-thick concrete wall form.
The polystyrene face panels have a preformed symmetrical interlocking expanded polystyrene (EPS) design along the top, bottom and vertical edges to facilitate stacking and alignment, as well as to prevent leakage of freshly placed concrete.
The units are dry-laid and stacked in a running (staggered) configuration. The stacked units form a rectangular space that, after being filled with concrete, results in an insulated, monolithic concrete wall of uniform thickness. Reinforcement may be placed where required to satisfy strength requirements for above- or below-grade load bearing walls, beams, lintels and shear walls.
The units have external dimensions of 1 219 mm in length and 419 mm in height. The polystyrene panels are each 67 mm thick, resulting in an overall wall thickness of 284 mm for the 150-mm-thick concrete wall form or 334 mm for the 200-mm-thick concrete wall form.
The product units are available in straight, 90° or 45° corner forms, Taper Top Block and Brick Ledge Block forms. A standard unit is illustrated in the Figure below.

Conditions and limitations
The CCMC’s compliance opinion is bound by this product being used in accordance with the conditions and limitations set out below.
- The product is permitted to be used in the construction of houses and small buildings up to 2 storeys above grade and 1 storey below grade that fall under the provisions of Part 9, Housing and Small Buildings, of Division B of the NBC 2015. It is subject to all of the conditions listed below.
- The structural applications of this product must be in strict accordance with the design analysis as prepared by Plasti-Fab Ltd., Report No. 19-02-01, dated February 01, 2019, from which Table 1 to Table 18 have been reproduced. When the product is used in structural applications outside the scope of the referenced design analysis, the engineering design analysis, related documents and drawings must bear the authorized seal of a registered professional engineer skilled in concrete design and licensed to practice under the appropriate provincial or territorial legislation. The engineer must certify that the construction provides a level of performance equivalent to that required by Part 4, Structural Design, and/or Part 9 of the NBC 2015.
- The maximum permitted building length is 24.4 m and the maximum permitted building width is 12.2 m. Engineering is required on a case-by-case basis for buildings that exceed these dimensions.
- For loadbearing wall and shear wall applications, the minimum core thickness of the product must be 150 mm.
- For non-loadbearing wall applications, the minimum core thickness of the product must be 100 mm.
- Concrete used with this system must comply with Subsection 9.3.1. of Division B of the NBC 2015. It must be Type GU (General Use), with a minimum compressive strength of 20 MPa and a maximum slump of 150 ± 12 mm.
- The maximum aggregate size to be used in conjunction with this product must be no greater than 19 mm.
- For the wall heights indicated in Table 1 and Table 2, the pouring of concrete must be made at a rate of 1.3 m per hour in consecutive lifts. Each lift is limited to a maximum height of 1.3 m.
- All point loads, such as concentrated loads created by girder trusses, columns and beams, must bear directly on top of the concrete wall and must not be supported in any manner that would create an eccentric loading on the concrete wall.
- Floor and roof connections to ICF walls must be designed to accommodate diaphragm action in seismic zones and zones of high wind pressure.
- The concrete must be cured a minimum of 7 days before backfilling. The wall must be laterally supported at the top and bottom prior to backfilling.
- The EPS insulation used in this system must comply, at minimum, with CAN/ULC-S701-11, “Thermal Insulation, Polystyrene, Boards and Pipe Covering,” Type 2.
- The product’s EPS insulation panels must be aged for at least 3 weeks from their date of manufacture.
- The concrete wall must be constructed on a footing designed as per Article 9.15.3.4., Basic Footing Widths and Areas, of Division B of the NBC 2015.
- The attachment of exterior cladding and interior finishing materials has not been assessed by the present evaluation.
- The interior face of the EPS panels must be protected from the inside of the building in accordance with Sentence 9.10.17.10.(1), Protection of Foamed Plastics, of Division B of the NBC 2015.
- For above-grade installations, the exterior face of the product must be protected with materials conforming to Article 9.20.6.4., Masonry Veneer, and Sections 9.27., Cladding, and/or 9.28., Stucco, of Division B of the NBC 2015.
- For below-grade installations, dampproofing must be provided in accordance with Article 9.13.2., Dampproofing, of Division B of the NBC 2015.
- Where hydrostatic pressure exists, waterproofing must be provided in accordance with Article 9.13.3., Waterproofing, of Division B of the NBC 2015.
For foundation wall installations, the backfill must be placed in such a way as to avoid damaging the wall, the exterior insulation paneland the waterproofing and dampproofing protection. The backfill material must be well-drained and a drainage system must be installed around the footing in accordance with the requirements of the NBC 2015. The installation of the product must be in strict compliance with the Advantage ICF Installation Manual dated October 3, 2018, without conflicting with the requirements stated in the NBC 2015 or this Report. Only installers trained and authorized by Plasti-Fab Ltd. shall be contracted to set up the wall system.

Administrative information
Disclaimer
This evaluation is issued by the Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC), a part of the Construction Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). The evaluation must be read in the context of the entire CCMC Registry of Product Assessments and the legislated applicable building code in effect.
The CCMC was established in 1988 on behalf of the applicable regulator (i.e., the provinces and territories) to ensure—through assessment—conformity of alternative and acceptable solutions to regional building codes as determined by the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) as part of the issuance of a building permit.
It is the responsibility of the local AHJs, design professionals, and specifiers to confirm that the evaluation is current and has not been withdrawn or superseded by a later issue. Please refer to the website or contact:
