FLEXX-BLOCK® INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS
SPECIFICATION SHEET
This document is intended for general information purposes only regarding specifications for Flexx-Block® Insulated
Concrete Forms by Lite-Form® Technologies.
1. Pro du ct De scri pti o n
Flexx-Block is an insulating concrete forming system, which consists of two flame-resistant expanded polystyrene
(EPS) foam boards separated by polypropylene webs.
The EPS boards are 51mm (2”) thick, which gives a total total thickness of 102mm (4”) of EPS.
The webs separate the EPS boards to form 102mm (4”), 152mm (6”), 203mm (8”), 254mm (10”), and 305mm (12”)
cavities, which creates the concrete wall thicknesses.
The webs are spaced every 152mm (6”) on center horizontally and 406mm (16”) on center vertically, and contain a
32mm (1.25”) wide furring strip that extends within 6mm (.25”) to the top and bottom of each block. The furring
strips facilitate fasteners for attachment of both exterior and interior finishes.

All values based on data from Huntsman Chemical Corporation, Styrochem International, NOVA Chemical

Federal Trade Commision Ruling: Use the 75 F R-Value when calculating R-Values for residential
construction.
Design Considerations:
•
•
•
•
•
DO NOT COMPARE polyisocyanurate conditioned R-Values by RIC-TIMA and PIMA to EPS RValues by ASTM C-578.
ASK for a 20 year 100% R-Value Warranty.
Flammability: Like many construction materials, EPS is combustible. It should not be exposed to
flame or other ignition sources. Current model building code requirements should be met for
adequate protection or seperation from occupied areas.
Water Absorption Properties: EPS water absorption is low. Moisture takes the path of least
resistance and travels around individual beads rather than through them; the non-interconnecting
cell structure prevents capillary absorption.
Water Vapor Transmission: EPS has low permeability but is not considered a vapor barrier.

Description of the LiteDeck System
LiteDeck Floor/Roof System – Stay-in-Place EPS formwork
for Concrete Construction
General: The LiteDeck System consists of interlocking rigid polystyrene foam plastic panels with inserted steel or wood
stiffeners, and is a permanent formwork for reinforced concrete joists and slab. The system is an ICF (Insulated
Concrete Form) panel for floors and roofs to be used in residential and commercial applications.
1.1 Materials:
Base Sections: This profile consists of a wire-cut expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam-plastic panel with provision for loadbearing, concrete structural joists. The sides of the panels have an interlocking configuration. Cut-outs for the metal
C-channel stiffeners are made on the bottom face of the base sections. The stiffener cut-outs are spaced 12 inches on
center. The panels can be either 24 inches or 48 inches wide by lengths as needed.
See Detail Drawings in Section 3
The foam billets used to fabricate the base sections are molded from modified, expandable polystyrene beads
that comply with Type 8 EPS classification in accordance with the latest ASTM C578 requirements. The foam plastic
has a nominal density of 1.25 lbs. pcf and has a maximum flame-spread rating of 25 and maximum smoke-density
rating of 450 when tested in accordance with ASTM E84 in a thickness of 4 inches.
Top Hats: This EPS profile comes molded with 100% recycled EPS. During installation, it is attached to the top of the
base sections in order to increase the depth of the load-bearing concrete joist. The top hats come in thicknesses of 2, 4
and 6-inches by 4 foot lengths. The foam plastic has a nominal density of 1.25 lbs. pcf. EPS has a maximum flame-spread
rating of 25 and a maximum smoke-density rating of 450 when tested in accordance with ASTM E84 in a thickness of 4
inches. See Detail Drawings Section 3; LD 2.3
Steel C-channel: The channels are formed from 18 gauge (0.0516”) Type G90, galvanized steel in compliance with
ASTM A653, Chemically Treated, Dry or lightly oiled. The nominal dimensions of the channels are 1 1/2” flange by 3
1/2” web with 3/8” thick return lip. The channels are inserted into the channel cutouts on the bottom face of the base
sections. To maintain the base sections in place, 3 inch self-tapping screws with plastic insulation washers are fastened
through the top face of the base section and into the stiffener.
See LiteDeck Detail Drawing Section 3; LD 2.1
LiteDeck WRS: LiteDeck WRS or Wood Rib System is developed for use with dimensional lumber in place of what
traditionally was a steel rib. LiteDeck WRS has cut outs that will accept 2x6 dimensional lumber. See the specs in the
Drawings section of this manual 6.0 for dimensions and details.
1.2 Floor/Roof Formwork Installation
Base Sections are installed over temporary shoring. Top hats are then installed on top of base sections as required by
code or design. Reinforcing steel is then installed in the joist and in the top slab. Concrete is then placed on the LiteDeck
formwork. Once the concrete reaches the required strength, the temporary shoring is removed from under the LiteDeck
form. See Installation Manual in Section 4; Marketing Materials
1.3 Structural Engineering
Structural engineering for all projects using LiteDeck formwork shall have the concrete joist engineered for the clear span
and loads to be placed on the completed concrete joist. The design shall be in compliance with applicable building code.
If the building code does not address concrete joists, the latest edition of (American Concrete Institute) ACI 318 shall be

Design Table Notes:
1. Design tables are for cost estimating purposes only. Final beam reinforcing to be designed by a licensed design professional in responsible charge.
2. For 1 span condition, longitudinal reinforcing steel only required in bottom of beam.
3. For 2 and 3+ span conditions, longitudinal reinforcing required in both top and bottom of beam.
4. Shaded cells in table reflect need for shear reinforcing in beam. Shear reinforcing to be designed by a licensed design professional in responsible charge.
5. For 2 and 3+ span conditions, center long. reinforcing in bottom of beam at midspan and in top beam at support.
6. Provide 3/4" minimum concrete cover to all reinforcing steel for interior exposure. Refer to the latest ACI318 for minimum clearance for other exposures.
7. Multiple span reinforcing is valid for same length spans only.

Sloped
Concrete
Roofs
Topping an ICF structure with a concrete roof has a
number of advantages. Perhaps the most obvious
is disaster resistance. A concrete slab will protect belongs
and occupants from hurricanes and tornadoes, and is completely
fireproof. (For more information, see Total Shell, Total Protection on
page 28 of this issue.)
They can support an enormous amount of weight, so concrete
roofs can be converted into decks, rooftop gardens, or even
additional parking space.
And coupled with a foam forming system, such as LiteDeck, concrete can create a high-performance roofing system that
“completes the energy envelope.” Just like ICF walls, the combination
of foam and concrete in the roof protects interior spaces from
outside temperature fluctuations. Near airports, these “ICF roofs”
have proven to dramatically reduce sound infiltration.
But just because a home has a concrete roof doesn’t mean
that it has to be flat. Thanks to innovative forming systems and
improved design software, sloped concrete roofs are easier now
than ever before. A few builders, like Mike and Dustin King of Ateg
Engineering, are taking on incredibly complex roof designs, with
multiple hips, valleys, and ridgelines, and constructing them out of
concrete.
The Kings have designed and built a number of complex,
sloping concrete roofs in North Texas. One was installed on the
15,000 sq. ft. Hoffman residence just east of Dallas in Forney,
Texas. It has 15 rooms on three levels, and the roof is unbelievably
multi-faceted. King even did the bay window roof.
“Most of it was done the same way we do a typical Lite-Deck
installation,” says Dustin King. “When it’s on a slope like that, we
take a piece of wood and cut it to match the slope, so the shoring can
brace off a surface parallel to the floor. We can run a screw through
24 ICF BUILDER
the top of the bracing, through the wood and into the light-gauge
steel stud to make sure that nothing moves.”
He uses adjustable Pro-Shore bracing, with beams running 6
feet on center and posts about every 4 feet.
King uses a regular low-slump concrete for most roofs. “We
used a 3-inch-slump mix on that project—it has a 7:12 slope—and
it stayed in place no problem. I think the steepest we’ve personally
done is a 9:12 pitch, and it worked out just fine.
Pat Boeshart, inventor of the Lite-Deck system, points out
that placing concrete on a sloped surface is not new. “They’ve been
Foam decking creates a series of beam pockets, which are
filled with reinforced concrete. Pockets running parallel to
the ridgeline are usually cut into the foam on site. Some
designers recommend a monolithic slab poured over the
top of the beams. Others design the final roof finish to be
applied over the foam.
Sloping concrete roofs are possible. With modern foam decking
systems, even complex roof designs can be created.

doing it since the 1960s on concrete-lined canals and stormwater
drainage channels,” he says.
Perhaps the most difficult challenge for sloped roofs is the
engineering and design work.
“A sloped concrete roof is much more complicated,” King
confirms. “Hips and valleys have to be engineered, and a lot of it is
using experience and professional judgment.”
On the Hoffman home, King spec’ed a steel I-beam at the ridge
line, with the Lite-Deck running perpendicular to the ridge. “We’ve
done a lot of steel ridge beams, but we’ve also done a number of
concrete beams too,” he says.
Channels for concrete beams were cut into the foam at all the
hips and valleys. A channel was also cut in the foam halfway between
the eaves and the primary ridge line, to tie the other concrete beams
together and help support the ridgeline.
One unusual feature of this home is that the roof does not
have a monolithic slab poured over the Lite-Deck. Concrete was
placed in the beam pockets level with the surface of the foam, but
no additional concrete was poured above that.”
“There’s no reason why you couldn’t do the slab,” says King.
“In this case, it was just the way it was done.” The roof was surfaced
with Fossilcrete, which was stamped and colored to resemble
shingles. The same product was used on the exterior walls, which
were carved to resemble ashlar-cut limestone.
Cloyd “Joe” Warnes, a concrete expert and consulting
engineer, has more than 40 years of experience with pitched concrete
roofs. He built one of the first “all concrete” homes in California in
1966 as part of a study by the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). Warnes points out that if the concrete roof is
properly tied into the ICF walls, the entire structure is significantly
stronger.
That’s precisely what King did with the Hoffman home. “We
brought the bars out of the ICF wall several feet and tied them into
the roof beams. All of the beam connections have ample connecting
steel in them.”
All three major brands of foam decking, Lite-Deck, Insuldeck,
and Amdeck, have engineering details available on how to make
these connections.
Warnes notes that pitched roofs can be built using a number
of other technologies—such as steel joists and plywood—but only
foam decking includes the insulation, sound attenuation, and other
August/September 2008 25
Foam decking can be capped with a solid
concrete slab for maximum protection,
or finished with just the beam pockets
(bottom right.) The decision will affect
the amount of bracing required when the
foam panels are set in place (bottom left.)

features most owners will want.
At a presentation he gave at the fall 2006 ACI meeting, he
explained the general design process. First, design the structural
supports at the ridgelines and in the valleys. Second, determine
how the building eaves will be formed and shored. Next, calculate
the planking (or other forming) requirements, shoring and rebar
needed.
The actual construction process follows those steps quite
closely. After the ridgeline beams are installed, contractors form the
eaves, shore them, and then place the forming for the rest of the
roof. After that is also shored, the rebar is placed and tied into the
walls. Any additional beam pockets are cut into the foam at this
time. When everything is in place, the concrete is poured, first in the
beam pockets, and then as a slab over the entire structure.
The Hoffman home is built without eaves, but King says there
are a number of different ways it can be done. “We’ve done it a
26 ICF BUILDER
couple of different ways. You can end the concrete at the wall, but
run the foam out past the wall as eaves. We’ve also formed the eaves
with plywood, shored it real well, and poured it with the rest of
the roof. Western Forms has an eave form that we’ve used and had
good success.” Another possible method is to frame out the eaves as
with traditional construction.
Whatever method of pitched roof construction you choose,
King says one key is to work closely with the installer and manufacturer. “The beams on that job came out of out plant at Amarillo, and
were delivered to the jobsite pre-cut,” says King. “We worked closely
with Ross Raines [the builder] to ensure it went well.”
With foam decking, interior finishes are installed just like they
would be in ICF walls. Chases and light boxes are cut in with a hot
knife. Insuldeck has pre-cut utility chases molded into the foam.
Sheet rock is attached to the integral furring strips. Sometimes, a
dropped ceiling—similar to commercial construction—is installed.

King and Warnes are both enthusiastic
about the future of pitched concrete roofing.
Warnes claims that with the worldwide
availability of foam decking, “the last barrier
to practical construction of all concrete
houses has now been breached.”
King was introduced to the technology
through Pat Boeshart and others at LiteDeck, and calls it “the greatest thing.” “It
really is a great product,” he says. “We’re still
developing what you can do with foam.”

Energy and Atmosphere (EA): This LEED category covers measures to improve the energy
efficiency and reductions in use of ozone depleting refrigerants and green house gases.
EA Prerequisite 1: Required compliance with minimum performance standards of national or
local energy codes
EA Prerequisite 2: Provide fundamental commissioning of the systems installed in the building
to verify proper installation and performance
EA Prerequisite 3: Elimination of CFC based refrigerants
Two (2) points are mandatory from this category for all LEED NC projects.
Credits are obtained for performance improvements beyond the minimum national or local energy
code requirements (up to 10 points).
EA Credit 1: Use of renewable energy sources providing additional commissioning
EA Credit 2: No HCFC refrigerants or fire suppression systems
EA Credit 3: Continuous monitoring of and optimization of systems performance
EA Credit 4: Use of Green Power Sources
EA Credit 5: Measurement & Verification
Building the exterior walls with Lite-Form ICF’s contributes to this requirement and credits
by providing superior air tightness, insulating value and thermal massing. Use of Lite-Form
Technologies will result in a better insulated, energy efficient exterior wall system. The
continuous solid insulated concrete wall created by Lite-Form will reduce air infiltration and
provide thermal mass benefits.
Combined with other components like energy efficient glazing and window units, well
insulated roof assemblies, and design strategies like effective solar orientation, Lite-Form
can contribute to a project qualifying for minimum energy performance under EA
Prerequisite 2, and for additional credits for energy performance beyond the minimum
national and local energy code requirements, under the Optimized Energy Performance
category.
