More product. Less concrete. Less labor.

The Hobbs ICF Wall System uses 40% less concrete than typical ICF blocks

• The system has been engineered and optimized to place concrete precisely where it is structurally required for strength, reducing the cost of concrete by 40%
  compared to a typical ICF block system
• Using less concrete means more room for insulation, enabling foam panels to be thicker than typical ICF blocks and allowing for higher R-values and substantial noise reductions to pass on to clients

Includes engineering on a project basis

• Each Hobbs Vertical ICF Wall System project includes an engineer’s stamp on each individual construction project
• More intelligence on the initial design means less liability on the builder or
  contractor and less call-backs and client complaints

Uses 50% less labor than typical ICF blocks

• Our system is faster to assemble – 50% less experienced labor required for assembly than typical ICF blocks
• The Hobbs Vertical ICF Wall System is a 4-in-1 product that combines structure,
  insulation, framing, and moisture barrier all in one
• A 4-in-1 product accelerates the building process and requires less coordination
  between trades

Much easier to assemble than typical ICF blocks

• No tying, taping, or gluing required
• The product is vertical, meaning formers work primarily from the ground
• 16” o.c. spacing matches conventional framing

The straightest ICF on the market – no unsupported or weakened seams as in a typical ICF block system

• No unsupported horizontal and vertical seams that tend to shift as in typical ICF blocks
• Innovative tees and corners are the strongest of any ICF
• Fail-Safe Locking Grid Design™ means no snaking, bowing, or wavy walls
• Level walls mean a true, straight surface ready to accept drywall and exterior finishes

The Hobbs System is much more versatile than typical ICF blocks

• 2.5” extra-wide furring assembly flanges (studs) provide generous attachment area
• Use the Hobbs Vertical ICF Wall System for basements, slab-on-grade, radius walls, and multi-story residential and light-commercial exterior wall applications
• This system design is compatible with other construction materials
• Standard contoured and stucco-ready design versions gives building design
  flexibility

The Hobbs System significantly reduces the problem of wet and leaky basements

• The Hobbs design significantly reduces water penetration points in basements
• Drainage plane with the standard contour design provides a natural pathway for moisture control
• A Hobbs built home offers peace of mind that customers value, as the Hobbs leak resistant system also significantly reduces health impacts due to mold and mildew caused by a leaky or wet basement
