Insulated Concrete Form Pitched Roof

Three of the homes featured a gable roof design one a hip design.

Insulated concrete form pitched roof.

Now the same technology can be used for insulated concrete floors both suspended and slab on grade fpsf and pitched roofs or insulated flat roofs with a green roof system to compliment them. See the concept of insulated concrete forms applied to horizontal pitched and tilt up applications. Just like icf walls the combination of foam and concrete in the roof protects interior spaces from outside temperature fluctuations. I too have been researching the application of a pitched roof over icf construction and frankly i am disappointed that the icf mfg folks haven t developed add ons for the icf truss joists systems that would allow for and exterior bracket and plates to be added to that outside as concrete is poored from the eaves to the ridge line and prevents spillage at say a 8 12 or 12 12 pitch.

Please refer to the quad deck product information for details. But just because a home has a concrete roof doesn t mean that it has to be flat. Walls built with icfs insulated concrete forms have gained much popularity over the last couple of years for exactly these reasons. With a wood or metal deck roof system the concrete cap is supported by a bar joist or other metal formed structure and the concrete can be either integral with the supports as with hambro or not as with the trade ready floor system from clarkdietrich or deck span.

Quad deck makes it easy solid energy efficient comfortable. One advantage of an icf roof is that the insulation for the roof is already in place and protected on the inside of the roof. Near airports these icf roofs have proven to dramatically reduce sound infiltration. Ideal for use in commercial and residential construction quad deck combines the strength security and reliability of reinforced concrete with the energy efficiency fast construction and comfort of insulating concrete forms.

Insulated concrete forms for floors roofs and elevated buildings. Each home was designed and constructed using an icf wall system and lite deck icf roof system.
