Burmon Buck Brace
The patent pending, Burmon Buck Brace is engineered to brace the horizontal pressures of the concrete during the pour in the window and door bucks.
The Burmon Buck Brace eliminates all horizontal wood bracing; saving on lumber and labor costs by reusing these braces for years to come.
This brace adjusts to fit our 4”, 6”, 6.5”, and 8” Superform ICF Blocks.
Fab-Form ZEE T-Bracket
ZEEs are a great alternative to use instead of T-Blocks. The ZEE T-Brackets eliminate 3 marriage lines per T-junction, which allows for faster ICF installation and reduced ICF waste.
Each ZEE is manufactured from high-quality zinc plated steel and weighs just 2.9 lbs, making it easy to install using 1-1/2" x #8 deck screws.

SUPERSEAL Dimpled Foundation Membrane
SUPERSEAL Dimpled Membrane is made from tough, long lasting plastic that keeps exterior moisture out. It prevents backfill material from touching the foundation wall and bridges typical wall cracks with ease and can be backfilled right away. The dimples in the membrane create a drainage space that allows the wall to breathe. This space allows moisture to condensate outward on to the membrane. By gravity, the moisture then falls to the footing drain for removal.
Wall Coverage – 518 sq. ft. (7’11”) or 583 sq. ft. (8’ 11”)

ICF Hangers
Simpson Tie ICFVL Ledger System
The ICFVL ledger connector system is engineered to solve the challenges of mounting wood or steel ledgers to insulated concrete form (ICF) walls. The ICFVL is designed to provide both vertical and lateral in-plane performance. The system offers many benefits over traditional anchor bolting, including better on-center spacing in most cases, faster installation and no protrusions.
ICFVL
The embedded legs of the ICFVL are embossed for additional stiffness and the hole enables concrete to flow through and around the connector. The exposed flange on the face of the ICF provides a structural surface for mounting either a wood or steel ledger.
| ICFVL | 15 per box | |
| Sold per box | ||
ICFVL – CW/W
The CW/W (J Hook) Ledger attachment slips over the appropriate ledger connector under the ledger. 8 screws are installed through the CW/W into the ICFVL Plate holding up to 1940lbs per hanger.
| ICF-CW | 1.75" | 15 per box |

Burmon Hurricane Anchor - BHBCON Concrete Connection
The ICF Hurricane Anchor has been specially designed for North America’s conditions and modern ICF concrete building techniques to deliver safer, more efficient and higher load rafter/truss anchor connections that deliver significant cost savings over the total house build. The connector is installed before concrete sets and the truss is then placed inside the bracket and fixed using Burmon roofing screws. This finishes the tie-down of the trusses, eliminating the hassle of going back later to nail off connectors. This feature connected directly to the concrete provides one of the strongest roof tie-down connections available.
| BHBCON - Concrete Connection (hurricane anchor connected cast into concrete) |
30 per box |
| Sold per box | |
Burmon Hurricane Anchor - BHBSP Mudsill Connection
The revolutionary Burmon design enables the anchor to be securely fixed directly to the top plate. Using a cordless impact driver, simply attach the bracket to the top plate using Burmon panhead screws. The truss is then placed inside the bracket and fixed using Burmon roofing screws. This finishes the tie down of the trusses eliminating the hassle of going back later to nail off connectors. The Hurricane Anchor is faster and easier to install than ordinary conventional connectors whilst delivering a stronger tie down over the whole roof.

Fiberglass Rebar
MST-BAR®
MST-BAR is a glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebar and is an excellent alternative for concrete reinforcement compared to traditional steel rebar.
It is the only GFRP Rebar that bonds to concrete better than steel. Steel Rebar oxidizes in concrete which creates rust cancers and causes the rebar to expand, which results in the cover concrete to spall, leading to failure. MST-BAR can eliminate all failures due to corrosion and save on the current costs of fixing corrosion issues.
MST-BAR is also the only GFRP Rebar that is an Integrally Ribbed Maximum Strength Rebar, which locks the rebar into the concrete causing fewer cracks and avoiding up to 50% of traditional bent bar applications by using straight lengths of MST-BAR.
In addition, the manufacturing process of MST-BAR produces far fewer carbon emissions than the steel industry, which aligns with SuperForm’s sustainable and energy-efficient manufacturing processes for our insulated building products.
Benefits
- Light-weight (up to 4x lighter than traditional steel rebar)
- Superior Tensile Strength (3x the amount of steel)
- Fatigue Resistance (20x the amount of steel)
- Corrosion Resistance
- Thermal and electrical isolated
- No maintenance or repairs required
Application
- ICF Walls: 1 to 1 ratio steel to MST BAR
- Flatwork: Downsize 1 size from steel for MST BAR size (except for 10 mm)*
- *Note: Subject to your local building code requirements.

“More than 20 years later, after what started off as single family residence that I still reside in today, we’re now beside an 18 story building built with similar [SuperForm ICF] techniques.”
Robert Sipka President, Kanas Corporation
“Love the product, easy to work with.”
RockoDustay Construction Ltd.
“I have a 100% trust-based relationship [with SuperForm]. They care about their installers and they treat us right. My day is made better knowing that I’m not going to have to lug around 200 lb. forms; SuperForm is light and I feel like I can do it until I’m 60 or 70.”
Logan Dejax Revel Ventures
“Excellent Service. Prompt and professional.”
Melinda JamesHard Rock Developments
“When people ask me “Why SuperForm?” I can tell them out of out of experience, from just pumping other block, we don't have the success rate like we do with SuperForm.”
Brandon Elliott Edgecon Concrete Pumping
“Good service and communication. It’s a quality product!”
Bow Island Building Supplies
“I have personally used the product a lot and like the strength of the forms and the way it goes together. I have also received compliments on the straightness of the walls. In my experience it takes less bracing then some others to get a nice job.”
