INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS
OGGI CONCRETE FORMS & ACCESSORIES has teamed up with LOGIX INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS. LOGIX gives you a wall system that’s not only long-lasting, but also quick to build, sound-proof, energy-efficient and has a 4-hour fire resistance rating. Engineered for superior performance, LOGIX is a "high impact" GREEN Product.
LOGIX is backed by over 50 years of manufacturing experience and offers the features most valued by the industry and the consumer.
Our LOGIX Foam is 2 3/4" as opposed to most other brands range of 1 1/2" to 2 1/2" in thickness. LOGIX's thicker foam panels save more heat in the winter and retain more cold air in the summer. Our thicker and stronger forms also deliver the straightest walls.

Energy Efficiency
- Thermal bridging
- Gaps in insulation
- Erosion of R value
- No thermal bridging
- Continuous insulation
- Constant R value for life
Environmental Impact
- Minimal reduction in green-house gas emissions
- Service life 30 to 50 years maximum
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 1/3 or 3 tons annually
- Service life up to 100 years
Air Quality
- May contain adhesives and VOCs that off-gas
- Wood and moisture provide an ideal environment for mold
- EPS and concrete are non-toxic and do not off-gas
- No nutrient source exists in structure for mold growth
Durability
- Poor wind rating
- Fire rating in minutes
- Wind rated up to 200 mph
- Fire rated for up to 4 hours
Unlike traditional walls, the LOGIX ICF wall system prevents costly energy loss and dramatically lowers your energy bills.
