Insulated Concrete Forms for Roofs and Floors
Quad-Deck uses patented technology to create an energy efficient and quality insulating concrete floor or roof system. Ideal for both commercial and residential applications, Quad-Deck combines the strength, security, and reliability of reinforced concrete with the energy efficiency, fast construction, and comfort of insulating concrete forms.
Quad-Deck
Benefits
Speed of Installation
- Lightweight forms
- Uses about 40% less concrete than flat slabs
- Less shoring than traditional wood joist systems
Energy Efficient
- R-Values from R-16 to R-34
- U-Values from 0.35 to 0.17
- Smaller HVAC requirements
- Thermal Mass properties - more consistent indoor temperatures
Safe
- As a roof integrated with ICF walls, this seamless monolithic roofing system can provide superior protection against fires, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes
- When integrated with ICF walls, use as a safe room to protect you and your valuables during catastrophic events
- Up to a 4-hour fire rating (as per ACI-216)

- Forms available in thicknesses between 7" and 13½" ;
complete floors from 8½" to 17½"
- Up to 34' free spans or more with additional EPS caps or post-tensioning
- Good for garage floors for additional space underneath - same design as you see in parking garages
- Reduces concrete requirements and weight up to 30%
Quiet, Healthy, Comfortable
- Perfect for in-floor radiant heating
- STC Ratings of 49 to 53+; deadens sound transmission
- Minimized air infiltration - no allergens
- Inert; no food source for insects; doesn't support the growth of mold or mildew
Sustainable
- Reduced heating and cooling costs and life-cycle carbon emmissions
- Improved indoor air quality: minimal air infiltration reduces allergens and dust, no off-gassing
- Long-term building durability: life-cycle measured in centuries
- No site waste: pre-cut at factory to exact specifications
- No HFCs or CFCs used in manufacture
Each of the expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels are supported and reinforced with two integral steel beams molded into the product from end to end. The result is a self-supporting joist and deck forming system that provides the maximum strength of a reinforced concrete deck with a minimum of materials and labor.
