the QUAD-LOCK® BUILDING SYSTEM is THE advanced, second generation, stay-in-place insulating concrete formwork. The system consists of expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels that interlock, and are interconnected with ties that positively lock the system together in four directions. Once the concrete is placed within the forms the result is a SOLID concrete wall. You can choose 4?, 6?, 8? or 10? nominal concrete wall thickness.

The QUAD-LOCK BUILDING SYSTEM is infinitely versatile, allowing design flexibility unmatched in other types of concrete construction. Round or sculpted windows and doors; arches; gables; angles; brick ledges; siding; stuccos. Any and all shapes and finishes can be easily accommodated. Stem walls; bearing walls; tee walls; fire walls; sound walls. Above ground; below ground; basements; single story; multiple story; different wall thickness. QUAD-LOCK DOES IT ALL!

Complete your forming in less than half the time needed for traditional forms (and insulate at the same time!), without special tools, equipment or skills. Save time. Save labor. Save money. Simply set the panels in place and install the ties as you go. One tie per foot. No pre-assembly required. Drop the rebar on the ties. Minimal simple bracing. Place the concrete. You’re done! No need to strip forms. Virtually no waste. No jobsite power needed. Not only is your wall done, but so is your insulation! You can be sure of accuracy because all QUAD-LOCK components are molded and stamped to tight tolerances.

Concrete placed and cured within the QUAD-LOCK System will reach much higher compressive strength than in traditional forms. Because moisture and temperature are controlled within the QUAD-LOCK system, concrete strength is as much as 170% of concrete formed by traditional methods. This means less chance of cracking and fewer callbacks.
