If you’ve been around the construction industry for a while, you’ve probably heard of ICF — Insulated Concrete Forms. These systems have revolutionized how we build foundations and walls by combining the strength of concrete with the energy efficiency of continuous insulation.

What Is ICF?

ICF blocks are lightweight, interlocking foam forms that are stacked like large building blocks and then filled with reinforced concrete.Once the concrete cures, the foam remains in place, creating a high-performance wall system that delivers exceptional strength, soundproofing, and thermal insulation. The result is a structure that’s more durable, quieter, and significantly more energy-efficient than a conventional wood-frame build.

ICF has become a go-to choice for both residential and commercial projects, especially in cold climates like Alberta’s. Builders appreciate its speed of installation and reduced heating costs, while homeowners love the comfort and energy savings.

From Logix to Element ICF — A Trusted Name, Now Even Better

For years, Logix ICF was one of the most recognized and respected brands in the industry, manufactured by Beaver Plastics right here in Alberta.Today, Beaver Plastics has evolved that product line into Element ICF —a new name for a more advanced and refined system.

Element ICF keeps everything builders loved about Logix — strength, precision, and ease of assembly — but adds updated design features and modern improvements:

• Improved block  design for tighter interlocks and straighter walls
•  Enhanced foam  formulation for greater rigidity and insulation performance
•  Integrated  fastening strips for easier attachment of finishes and cladding
• · Refined manufacturing process ensuring consistent quality and fit across all blocks

These updates make Element ICF one of the most builder-friendly and reliable ICF systems on the market today, continuing Beaver Plastics’ long tradition of Canadian-made quality.
