Pouring Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) in stages is a widely practiced and recommended method, mainly owing to the control and precision it offers. The process involves placing concrete in the ICF walls in layers or 4 foot lifts and consolidation of the layers.

How tall can ICF walls be built? ICFs have been engineered and built to 48 feet tall (free standing/load bearing). It is important to note that in most applications, ICF projects can be designed using ACI 318 and are designed like any other steel reinforced concrete wall.

Insulated concrete forms are included in the IRC for buildings that are no greater than 60-ft in plan dimensions, containing floors with clear spans not greater than 32ft and roof clear spans not greater than 40ft. The building shall not exceed 2 stories above grade or shall not exceed 35 ft in roof mean height.

We recommend pouring your project in four-foot lifts. This height allows you to reach the bottom of windows during the first pass and ensures that not too much pressure is put on the lower forms. Once you reach four-feet, keep pouring without stopping another four-feet and repeat until the full wall height is reached.

Quad-Lock's Insulated concrete forms or ICFs are ecologically sound polystyrene foam panels which are connected and stacked into the shape of the exterior and load bearing walls of a building, reinforced with steel rebar or Helix Micro-Rebar, and then filled with solid concrete.

Once you reach where you first poured, continue pouring, repeating the process 4 feet at a time. This process is repeated until the full height of the ICF wall is reached. Typically a total wall height of no more than 16 feet is poured at one time. This is the recommendation of most bracing manufactures as well.
