BuildBlock Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs) Double Taper Top Form 8"

The BuildBlock Double Taper Top form creates a wider bearing surface at the top of the wall. This is useful when setting floor systems that need a wider bearing surface. This BuildBlock ICF form integrates with other BuildBlock and BuildLock KD forms. Filled with concrete and reinforced with rebar they form a monolithic engineered concrete wall.
