The most versatile and highest quality Insulating Concrete Forming System.<br />

PRODUCT MANUAL<br />
QUAD-LOCK <strong>Building</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> Ltd. was established in 1994 in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. QUAD-LOCK ®<br />
develops, manufactures and distributes its patented Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) system.<br />
The QUAD-LOCK ® System was conceived and engineered to reduce the cost and increase the versatility of cast in place<br />
concrete walls and help our environment by saving energy.<br />
QUAD-LOCK ® is a panel type ICF system consisting of Panels, Ties, Metal Tracks and Metal Brackets. QUAD-LOCK ®<br />
panels are made with high density, fire retardant expanded polystyrene beads (EPS) and contain no formaldehyde,<br />
HFCs, CFCs or other harmful substances. Four panel configurations are currently available, 2¼" [58mm] thick regular<br />
and 4¼" [108mm] thick “Plus” Panels, each available with or without fastening strips molded into each panel. These<br />
panels can be combined allowing 10 different wall configurations and the resulting R-Values range from R-22 to R-38 [U-<br />
0.28 to U-0.15]. Plastic ties ingeniously connect the panels, secure the reinforcing steel in place, while also providing a<br />
means to anchor drywall, siding and temporary bracing. Ties are available in many sizes to form different wall<br />
thicknesses. The Metal Track is used to start and finish the wall and the Metal Brackets eliminate additional outside<br />
bracing at corners and angles. Metal Brackets come in a 90° version and in an adjustable version accommodating almost<br />
any angle.<br />
The revolutionary QUAD-DECK ® floor, roof, and tilt-up forming system is a “pan floor” form designed for both commercial<br />
and residential construction. QUAD-DECK ® panels shape a series of T-beams every 24" [610mm] which integrate with a<br />
concrete slab. The resulting monolithic concrete structure now provides two-way span capacity and a shear plane, for<br />
superior structural performance.<br />
The few components of the QUAD-LOCK ® System ensure simplicity in design, construction and supply. Applications<br />
include load bearing walls, shear walls, fire resistant walls, basement walls, retaining walls, and foundation walls<br />
incorporated in residential, industrial and institutional construction. QUAD-LOCK ® can easily be shaped to form the<br />
design elements of modern buildings – openings, corners, angles, curves and arches.<br />
QUAD-LOCK ® is dedicated to hiring only individuals with extensive, successful construction and sales experience to best<br />
serve your needs.<br />
