Home / Quad-Lock

Quad-Lock Building Systems Ltd. was established in 1994 and is one of the only ISO-certified Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF) companies to develop, manufacture and distribute patented ICF systems. Quad-Lock ICF features innovative polystyrene panels which are secured with HDPE plastic ties. Just four standard components allow users to quickly form solid concrete walls with flexibility in design, speed of build and superb thermal and sound insulation. Product deliveries are backed up with full Quad-Lock training. Owners of Quad-Lock buildings consistently praise their living comfort, noise reduction, energy efficiency, and strength.

Fast, Simple, Accurate
The Quad-Lock system is infinitely versatile, allowing design and construction flexibility unmatched in other types of forming! Only four main components make this an extremely simple to use system.

Engineered
Quad-Lock is an engineered system – designed by builders for builders. Approved by the International Conference of Building Officials , and tested by Intertek Testing Services Warnock Hersey, the internationally recognized testing agency.

Safe, Fire Rated
Quad-Lock Panels are manufactured from high density, biologically safe, fire retardant, type III expanded polystyrene. The Quad-Lock Building System will not support combustion. The fire resistance of a 6? thick finished Quad-Lock wall is 4 hours.

Super Insulating
With Quad-Lock you can now build walls up to a real R-Value of 40, so we are the champions of true R-Value! The Quad-Lock Building System can save as much as 80% on heating & cooling costs – savings every month! The thermal mass of the concrete combined with the EPS insulation keeps you warm when it’s cold outside and keeps you cool when it’s hot outside. This means more comfort in your home and more money in your pocket!

Solid
Quad-Lock construction gives you a solid concrete wall – your choice of 4 to 12 inches thick. No foam tunnels through the concrete. No thin/thick sections. No worries about rotting. Just solid, uniform, insulated concrete walls with standard rebar.

The recently released R-ETRO System is an insulation system for the renovation market that allows panels to be placed on existing wall surfaces adding a R-Value of 18 to the building. The R-ETRO System can also be used in combination with other construction methods such as timber frame.
