20 Solid Reasons To Choose TF System

Tall Wall Panels - Easy AccessCommercial Contractors Gain Speed and Cost Savings.

TF System is a PERMANENT, STAY-IN-PLACE System.  TF System® has been engineered to solve the common problems  of tilt walls or concrete forming systems--No expensive, bulky forms to take down, clean or store.   

TF System® components form the walls, provide insulation, create a vapor barrier, and serve as convenient and predictable attachment points - all in one easy step - both above and below grade.  The vertical orientation eliminates the possibility of block ICF wall form floating or settling, providing a wall that is dimensionally accurate.  And it eliminates the form building or steel form removal of tilt-up or concrete forms.  Using this unique design differentiates innovative professionals in the building industry, while providing the competitive edge they desire.

TALL WALLS – Easy & Fast:   To achieve a monolithic poured TF wall over 12-feet high, contractors use a method called stitching.  This entails stacking the components, alternating the height of I-beams and poly panels, creating a full height wall that can be poured in continuous lifts.  Poly panels are slid up to create openings to pump in the concrete while limiting the free fall to eight feet.  After placing concrete, the TF panels directly above are slid down to create another lift area.

WALL PANELS THAT ARE FULL WALL HEIGHT - 33% Faster to install compared to other ICF systems which are already faster than traditional construction methods. Panels are easily cut to your design.

Commercial ConstructionCONCRETE CONSOLIDATION
- TF System® was engineered to allow for concrete consolidation, eliminating voids and honeycombing.  Consolidation makes concrete walls stronger, resulting in better structures.

WALL ACCESSIBILITY
- TF System's® vertical design allows for access to the interior wall cavity during installation.  The polystyrene panels can be installed one side at a time, similar to conventional concrete forms.  TF System's® unique open design makes reinforcement simple to install in any desired pattern.  After the walls are set up, the polystyrene panels can be slid up to again allow access to the interior wall cavity.  This means no worrying about forgotten reinforcing, no problem allowing building inspectors to view rebar, and crews can remove debris or dropped tools from inside of the wall cavity.

PILASTERS - TF System® was designed to efficiently and effectively meet the unique designs you encounter on job sites, even pilasters can be formed with the components. 

ATTACHMENT -  After pouring, the TF System provides R-25 insulation with strong, predictable attachment points for hanging drywall, exterior finishes, fixtures, cabinets, and décor.

COST COMPETITIVE - TF System® components form the walls, provide insulation, create a vapor barrier, and serve as attachment points--all in one easy step.

EXTENDED BUILDING SEASON - Concrete can be poured year-round (In temperatures as low as 0°F).

CONTRACTOR FRIENDLY -  You may buy as needed for each project.  TF System® components are lightweight and stack tightly for shipping and handling.  Materials can be delivered directly to the job site.  There are no heavy, bulky forms to take down, clean, haul, and store.

VERSATILE - Special designs, such as curved and elliptical walls, are easily formed.  Components can be ordered in custom heights, custom angles, and varying widths to accommodate practically any design.

BENEFITS:

  • No bulky forms to buy, clean, remove and store
  • No floating or settling
  • No gluing or taping
  • No need to insulate or stud out walls
