Halo Interra should be installed on the underside

Halo Interra should be installed on the underside of the ceiling joists when insulating a roof. Follow the link in bio to find out why such placement is ideal and what you should pay special attention to when you fasten Interra beneath the ceiling joists.

PART 2: Another look at the Knock Down Panel which is used in combination with a KD Standard panel to assemble a Taper Top form. Taper Tops are often placed in the top course of a Logix wall to provide a flat and smooth surface with more bearing surface for floor, roof or wall framing connections, or to support a brick veneer for above grade wood-framed walls. Here Sean Murphy is using the form to create an exposed concrete curb.

Parging is a popular strategy for protecting an IC

Parging is a popular strategy for protecting an ICF home’s exposed perimeter at grade — right where the waterproofing ends and the exterior veneer begins. Yet sometimes parging can fail over time due to cracks or spalling.

In this post, you’ll learn the correct procedure for applying parging to ICF walls, and also find out a few alternative methods for perimeter protection.

Check out this engineered slab on grade construction build by @armstrong_contracting. The 3 bedroom home with an in-law suite above the garage will be built using Logix ICF, Heat-Sheet and Halo Subterra. The slab is designed using Logix KD panels as the perimeter edge element. The Armstrong team then used 12” of HD Heat-Sheet inside this form resulting in approximately R50 under the slab. D-Rv panels were also used along the perimeter to boost R-value. This D-Rv will be used in all the ICF walls as well. Once the slab is poured, 2” of Halo Subterra will be attached to the exterior.

Stay tuned for more from this build!

A void form is used to create a continuous seal when pouring ICF walls in sub-zero temperatures.
It helps the concrete stay at the ideal curing temperature without additional heating.

Pouring ICF walls in sub-zero temperatures?
When your walls are already insulated on both sides, you already have a huge advantage over the guy pouring concrete slabs or stair cores in wintertime — your concrete has a great chance of staying at the ideal curing temperature without additional heating.
However, there are things you can do to ensure that your cold weather pour goes smoothly and the concrete cures well. Head over to our blog, we’ll walk you through the best practices for pouring ICF walls in sub-zero temperatures.

Deicing chemicals leave stains on footwear, irritate pets’ paws, and corrode vehicles. But did you know that they also have a lasting impact on the surrounding ecosystems?

In this post, we’ll examine the environmental effect of deicing chemicals and compare it to the carbon footprint left by Snow and Ice Melting (SIM) systems.

Do you need to build ICF T-walls on site and not have the preformed Logix ICF T-wall blocks on site? Worry not — all you need to build T-walls on site is some 2×4 strapping and Logix buck braces.

Our simple, 5-step guide will show you how to build ICF T-walls from standard ICF blocks without any specialized equipment or experience.

Building tall walls with LogixICF can be time cons

Building tall walls with LogixICF can be time consuming and labour intensive but you can build some pretty amazing things. Also, being solid reinforced concrete makes for a much stronger build than any framing.

These are challenging times for builders — skill

These are challenging times for builders — skilled labor shortages persist, the cost of materials and fuel are too volatile for comfort and lead times can remain stubbornly long. Innovation, audacity, and resilience is what it takes to continue building successfully in such a challenging environment.

This post is the success story of a determined team of contractors with a vision who defied the harsh market realities and built a net-zero-ready home with their regular crew and readily-available materials.

Yes, foam board insulation is flammable.

However, Neopor’s graphite polystyrene (GPS), which is used in Halo products, is treated with a fire retardant. In this recent post, we show why GPS is approved for construction across Canada and the USA and, in some cases, without a thermal barrier!
