Amdeck Insulated Concrete Floor & Roofing System
Amdeck is a modular, one-way concrete slab with an integrated joists system that allows an engineer to maximize the clear span and potentially reduce the temporary shoring. It incorporates full length 10″ (254mm) lightweight steel C-channel joists to support temporary construction loads, utilizing the appropriate shoring. It can be used in a horizontal configuration for floors and roofs with typical finished unsupported clear spans up to 30ft (9.1m). It is perfectly suited for use with ICF walls or independently with other structural systems.
Amdeck Pro Product Features
- Thermal Resistance
- R19 hr.ft2.F/Btu (3.34 m2K/W)
- Steel Joists Thickness
- 16ga, 14ga or 12ga
- Size of Form
- (h)12” x (w)32” x (l)24” / (h)305mm x (w) 813mm x (l)610mm

Our innovative, sustainable, and resilient ICFs are the ideal solution for long-lasting buildings and sustainable construction.
Building With ICF
Cost-efficient, energy-efficient and high-performing, insulated concrete forms are the perfect choice for insulation applications in walls, foundations, and roofing.
Energy Efficiency
ICF wall has minimal thermal bridging due to the dual layers of continuous insulation. The sandwich wall assembly creates a very airtight envelope reducing undesired air leakage. The combination of the high thermal resistance, air tightness and thermal mass makes for a very energy efficient building.
Indoor Comfort
The combination of increased air tightness and continuous insulation creates a superior building envelope which has no drafts and maintains the conditioned space within the optimal thermal comfort range. The addition of the concrete mass contributes to the highly sound absorbent walls (high STC rating) giving the occupants a quiet comfortable interior.
Sustainability
The highly energy efficient envelope can reduce the building’s carbon footprint while the durable and robust structure fortifies it against nature’s unavoidable hazards giving ICF buildings long service life. Additionally, wall components can be made from recycled materials minimizing the impact on the environment through reduced raw material demand.
Strength and Resilience
The monolithic reinforced concrete core makes for a much stronger structure when compared to framed construction. The combination of high strength and fire resistance rating (FRR) creates superior resistance to both natural and man-made disasters. The wall components do not lose their structural integrity when exposed to high moisture environments.

ICF Project & Applications
Green Building with Amvic™ ICF
Amvic™ ICF blocks are an excellent alternative for environmentally friendly and long-lasting buildings. There are several elements that make Amvic™ ICF a preferred choice for sustainable construction.
Reduces harmful emissions
Alleguard manufacturing facilities use steam and cold water to produce ICF. No harmful chemicals like CFC’s, HCFC’s, formaldehyde are used in Alleguard’s manufacturing process eliminating off-gassing and greatly reducing harmful emissions.
Minimizes waste
Amvic™ ICF can generate as little as 1% construction waste, greatly reducing landfill bound waste.
Uses recycled materials
Amvic™ ICF webs are manufactured using 100% post-industrial recycled polypropylene which effectively means that over 60% of the weight of an Amvic™ ICF block is comprised of recycled materials.
Contributes to LEED® certification
The USGBC’s LEED® Certification program provides a framework for assessing building performance and sustainability based on water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. Amvic™ ICF may contribute to 32-35 points towards LEED® certification.
