PROBLEM:
Although the ICF block was good for its time, its design is inherently outdated. |
|
|---|---|
| 1 | The ICF block concept has been around for over 40 years, with no significant design modifications since the inception of the product |
| 2 | Since the patent expired on the old ICF block design, the ICF block has become a “Me Too” design in that everyone has begun to design their own ICF block without any product research or testing, which results in a sub-standard finished product |
| 3 | The old ICF technology uses a prescriptive method, which inefficiently uses too much concrete instead of only using concrete where it is structurally necessary |
| 4 | Installation of the block ICF systems are tedious and labor intensive resulting in out of level, bowing, and snaking walls |
| 5 | ICF blocks have built-in weakened planes because of the massive amounts of horizontal and vertical joints (ie: a wall that is 200’ long and 9’ high has 1650 L.F. of weakened planes or joints) |
| 6 | Attachment points are limited for fastening interior and exterior finishes |
|
SOLUTION:
Solve the problems of traditional ICFs and engineer a smarter, greener and easier ICF wall system! |

The Hobbs Story
Take a great concept, and make it better
Our company began with a dedication to revolutionizing the ICF industry. Our intention was to separate ourselves from the ICF block industry and become a stand-alone, cutting edge company with a passion for results and a revolutionary product. We are a 100% family owned organization that has designed and developed our Vertical ICF Wall System to address the specific challenges that the existing ICF block industry experiences with the current technology.
The Hobbs Vertical ICF Wall System concept began in 2005 and involved 2 years of testing, development, engineering and production. After many improvements we feel confident that we have developed the smartest, easiest, and greenest ICF product on the market.
