The Perfect Block Information

"The Perfect Block™" (TPB) is an insulated composite concrete form (ICCF) wall system made of a mixture of ground-up clean post-industrial, post-consumer expanded polystyrene (EPS) also commonly known as "Styrofoam®", cement, and proprietary admixtures and water. 100% of the EPS in an ICCF block is recycled EPS that was destined to be dumped in a landfill. And 87% of the volume of each and every TPB block is recycled EPS. The EPS is what gives the ICCF block its outstanding insulating properties. We are using a modern-era waste product that would be filling the world's landfills to create a much-needed energy-efficient building block or form. When the cores of assembled ICCF blocks are filled (grouted) with concrete and reinforcement steel (rebar), the cured structure provides a permanent framework of superior strength for a "screen-grid" of reinforced concrete to form highly insulated stem walls, load-bearing walls, shear walls, non-load bearing walls, sound attenuation walls, lintels, perimeter walls, retaining walls, and many other components of a building. TPB is in the family of ICCFs commonly called "gray block". Because ICCF is a composite mixture of ground-up recycled EPS and cement, it has its characteristic gray color which differentiates it from other "white" ICF blocks and is referred to as an insulated composite concrete form (ICCF). Important Features of "The Perfect Block™" ICCF: ● A Green Building Material – Building blocks made with huge volumes of recycled material ● Fire Resistance - ICCF walls do not burn. "The Perfect Block™" has a 4-hour fire rating from Intertek Testing ● Wind Resistance – Tested by Intertek Testing - ICCF walls will resist 250 mph winds/large missile resistance ● Termite/Insect Resistance - ICCF walls have no wood inside. There is no food source for termites or boring insects or rodents. Rodents won't nest in it ● ICCF buildings are easily constructed using unskilled labor - significantly reducing construction labor costs.
