20 Solid Reasons to Choose TF System® - The Vertical ICF

If you are looking for the highest quality ICF with the most value and versatility, TF System® is your clear choice, and here is why!

VERTICAL ORIENTATION: Setting forms vertically vs. horizontally eliminates the common occurring issues of floating, settling, gluing, taping, and tying providing more jobsite control and allowing for a higher quality project completed easier and faster.

OPEN WALL: TF System® leads the ICF industry with its exclusive open wall capabilities.  This allows for easy access to the interior of the wall cavity to install and tie rebar, allow for inspection, or to retrieve dropped objects.

TALL WALLS:  The ability to lift individual poly panels to place concrete is unmatched by any other ICF or conventional poured wall system.

VARIABLE HEIGHTS:  Can be delivered to you at your height requirement.  No need to end up on a 16" increment or spend valuable jobsite labor cutting and bracing blocks to meet plan dimensions.
  
OFFSET WALLS: Custom made from our manufacturing facility and shipped directly to your jobsite saving you time and money.

NO VERTICAL BRACING NECESSARY:  Only corner bracing is required.

NO COMMON SEAM: Block-style ICFs need to stagger each course while trying to maintain alignment with their attachment points.  This often results in an area of construction difficulty where a common seam is created.  TF System® eliminates this problem due to its vertical format.

LESS WASTE: the amount of waste from a TF System® project will typically fit in a garbage bag.
VARIABLE THICKNESS POLYSTYRENE: When extreme R values are needed we can provide up to 4" thick polystyrene on either side or both sides of the wall.

CURVED WALLS: Just look at our installation manual to see how easy it is!

IN-FILL WALLS:  In commercial in-fill applications no one does it better and easier than TF System.  Installation of forms and placing of concrete is a snap with our offset C-channel.

CONCRETE CONSOLIDATION: is recommended not discouraged!

VARIABLE CONCRETE THICKNESS FROM 4" TO 24" in nominal, even increments.

RECYCLED CONTENT: Important in today's "green" sustainable building market place (several additional points for the LEED® program).

STEP FOOTINGS: TF System's® vertical forms provide ease of construction on tough, steep jobsites.

PERFORM GUARD® OPTION: Keeps termites and other boring insects at bay.  (Perform Guard is a registered trademark of AFM Corp.)

WIDE ATTACHMENT STUD: At two inches wide, one foot on center, and continuous from top to bottom, attachment points are easier to find.

PLASTIC OR GALVANIZED STEEL STUDS AVAILABLE.

DIRECTLY APPLY EIFS: No need to apply an additional foam layer before EIFS application.

SHIPS FLAT:  More square footage per truck dramatically lowers overall freight cost.

PANELIZATION: Factory-built accuracy, coupled with in-the-field speed, makes Panelizing (Pre-fabbing) TF System walls an attractive option.
