Why choose the Polycrete System?

Two series, one performance

Request a quote
Polycrete System block — Standard Series, R-25 thermal value
R-25
Polycrete — Standard Series

Permanent insulated concrete formwork delivering an effective R-25 thermal value (with finishes). Ideal for homes, chalets and commercial buildings that demand a high-performance envelope without compromising structural integrity.

Polycrete System block — Premium Series, R-29 thermal value
R-29
Polycrete — Premium Series

The same engineering as the Standard Series with an effective R-29 thermal value — for projects targeting superior energy performance, northern climates and LEED certifications.

Fewer seams. Greater strength. Faster install.

96 in
Block length

Eight feet per panel — twice the length of a conventional ICF block. The result: fewer seams to seal, fewer jobsite manipulations, and a wall that goes up significantly faster.

Steel
Internal steel structure

Continuous steel mesh built into the panel — superior rigidity during pour, no plastic ties to replace, and a metal furring strip compatible with all exterior cladding.
