GlobalBlock™ a web optional all-foam ICF GlobalBlock is the first fully-reversible all foam ICF block of its kind. An evolution of the screen-grid ICF, it integrates seamlessly with any BuildBlock form allowing you to save time, effort, and money. GlobalBlock is a lower-cost ICF, designed without requiring an integrated plastic web. It reduces cost without losing the benefits of ICFs or affecting key structural points.
An optional web insert for attachment points or web clip for rebar placement are available depending on your needs. Using the same fully-reversible interlocking system found on all BuildBlock forms, GlobalBlock has the same overall dimensions allowing the forms to be used interchangeably, even within the same wall.
GlobalBlock also includes benefits such as the molded-in tape measure and vertical cut lines making installation easier, faster, and more cost effective. GlobalBlock is available in 4-inch and 6-inch core widths.
Designed to be a more cost effective product for both domestic and international markets, GlobalBlock increases insulation value, decreases concrete and provides exceptional strength and support. The 12-inch on center design was chosen for its strength and reslience in the field. Attachment points using the optional web insert will align with BuildBlock forms and provide for easy drywall installation, brick ties, or other finish.
