What is Amdeck?
Amdeck is a horizontal ICF system which allows for the construction of concrete floors, ceilings and roofs to maximize the home’s durability, longevity and energy efficiency.
Ok so how does Amdeck improve a home’s durability, longevity and energy efficiency?
To get an understanding how that’s accomplishes let’s first take a look at how Amdeck is assembled.
1. C-Channels are placed 16” apart on top of the vertical ICF blocks, post concrete pour
2. Amdeck blocks are placed on top of the C-channels.
3. Once the Amdeck blocks are secured, rebar is placed within the voids and on top of the blocks.
4. Bracing is required from the bottom of the blocks to support the weight of concrete during the pour and while the concrete is curing.
5. When the concrete is cured, the bottom bracing is removed and you’ve got yourself an insulated concrete floor/ceiling assembly that can span over really large spaces with no posts or columns.
6. Services can be run anywhere within the assembly where there’s no concrete, and with a 12” styrofoam depth, you’ve got a lot of room to run services.
7. Once all the service runs are complete drywall is mounted to the bottom of the Amdeck, into the build-in furring strips
8. The flooring is installed onto the floor topping.
The finished concrete floor assembly further reinforces the the ICF walls by turning the entire structure in a single monolithic insulated structure.
