Unsurpassed Performance
There’s no comparison between Reward’s corner tie form and other ICF corner reinforcement products. The product’s full-height, double-H design allows a structure’s corner walls to withstand the pressure placed on them during concrete pours. The support it provides virtually eliminates the possibility of blowouts.
Unmatched Corner Attachment Flexibility
The corner form with the new bracket offers corner attachment flexibility superior to any ICF competitor. The product provides additional furring for the attachment of external and internal finishes, giving more corner attachment options and making ICF corner blocks more user-friendly.
• Full-height – Bracket embedded in form is stacked to give the best support for corner walls.
• Double-H bridging – Allows block to be cut in half, leaving a portion of the unique double-H design in each piece.
• User-friendly corners – Form features additional furring for the attachment of interior and exterior finishes.
• Maximum Strength – Bracket design provides superior support during concrete pours, eliminating blowouts.
Attaching to the Corner
The most vulnerable point of attaching finishes, is the corner. Finishers strive to get the most solid, and smooth attachment along the edge. With the tie spacing in our corner you can secure a corner at numerous points with ease.
Dimensions for Corner Attachments
This corner bracket provides a 1 ¼” wide continuous fastening strip right in the apex of the corner. There is another 1 ¼” wide continuous furring strip that is centered 6 inches from the corner’s apex. Additionally there is a 1 ¼” wide fastening strip running perpendicular to these two vertical strips. This horizontal strip will be staggered vertically and located approximately every 6 to 8 inches.
All of the fastening strips are recessed ½” beneath the face of the EPS foam face. Therefore the 11″ iForm will have continuous vertical fastening located 1 inch, 6 inches and 12 inches from the corner, the 13″ iForm will have a fastening strip located 1 inch, 6 inches and 14 inches from the corner and the 17 iForm will have a fastening strip located 1 inch, 6 inches, and 18 inches.
