Insulated Concrete Form Pitched Roof

Insulated concrete forms for floors roofs and elevated buildings.

Insulated concrete form pitched roof.

Ideal for residential commercial and institutional construction insul deck buildings are not only more comfortable quieter and super energy efficient but can also provide safety from hurricane level winds fire and floods. Three of the homes featured a gable roof design one a hip design. But just because a home has a concrete roof doesn t mean that it has to be flat. See the concept of insulated concrete forms applied to horizontal pitched and tilt up applications.

Near airports these icf roofs have proven to dramatically reduce sound infiltration. Please refer to the quad deck product information for details. The two homes with longer spans required 10 lite deck system the two shorter spans used 6 lite deck. Each home was designed and constructed using an icf wall system and lite deck icf roof system.

Walls built with icfs insulated concrete forms have gained much popularity over the last couple of years for exactly these reasons. Just like icf walls the combination of foam and concrete in the roof protects interior spaces from outside temperature fluctuations. Insulated concrete forms for floors and roofs quad deck uses unique technology to create an energy efficient and quality insulating concrete floor and roof system. Now the same technology can be used for insulated concrete floors both suspended and slab on grade fpsf and pitched roofs or insulated flat roofs with a green roof system to compliment them.

I too have been researching the application of a pitched roof over icf construction and frankly i am disappointed that the icf mfg folks haven t developed add ons for the icf truss joists systems that would allow for and exterior bracket and plates to be added to that outside as concrete is poored from the eaves to the ridge line and prevents spillage at say a 8 12 or 12 12 pitch. Ideal for use in commercial and residential construction quad deck combines the strength security and reliability of reinforced concrete with the energy efficiency fast construction and comfort of insulating concrete forms.
