NoricF4 Custom Metal ICF Frames
The NoricF4 is a pre-assembled, 14 gauge steel, 2-in-1 custom metal frame that combines the buck and the frame in one system, which eliminates waste, speeds door or window installation time, and is customized to fit any specification.
The NoricF4 comes with many exclusive features:
- Is pre-assembled & welded to specifications from the building plans
- Includes drywall returns
- Has an integrated continuous concrete anchor
- NoricF4 for doors includes a press in place weather-stripping.
- Comes fully prepped for door hardware
- NoricF4 for windows can be fabricated with mullions and integral glazing stops
NoricF4 for Doors
The NoricF4 door is custom designed and can be ordered to fit any door and hardware manufacturer or type or size. The NoricF4 is fabricated with the strike plate and hinge preps already in place at any location according to the project’s specifications. The standard NoricF4 will include a press in place door weather strip seal. The door seal is easily and quickly installed by hand with no tools. It provides superior weather stripping and can be easily replaced. It can also be made without the seal.
NoricF4 for Windows
The NoricF4 window is custom designed to any window opening size. The standard NoricF4 will consist of cased window head and jambs. The NoricF4 sill will have an integrated opening for concrete placement and consolidation. A sill filler plate is available that caps the sill opening after concrete placement.
The NoricF4 can reduce construction time by:
1. Eliminating the buck assembly
2. Eliminating squaring and stripping
3. Reducing bracing and support
4. Being ready to receive windows/doors of ANY manufacturer or size
5. Eliminating trade steps
The NoricF4 is designed and made to fit snugly around the EPS foam thickness of any insulated concrete form on the market.
