Amvic ICF System
D ESIGNED AS A complete structural system,

Amvic insulated concrete forms (ICFs)
maximize strength, performance and storm
survivability.
With convenient 90 degree corner blocks,
and an embedded, 100 percent recycled polypropylene
web, they are designed to fit together and interlock
precisely and quickly. Small details such as built in rebar
holders reduce labor even more.
Amvic takes sustainability seriously. Their products
are made without harmful chemicals such as CFC’s,
HCFC’s or formaldehyde. Because the webs are recyled,
the system consist of 60 percent recycled content. They
also contribute 25 to 35 points to LEED certification. You
can browse the Amvic brochure at www.amvicsystem.

Clopay WindCode

Garage Doors

HEN HURRICANES THREATEN, one way to
reinforce garage doors is to insert posts behind
the door until after the storm has passed. But
Clopay has developed some doors specifically
W with high winds and flying debris in mind.
The company’s WindCode line of garage doors are tested under
ASTM E330 for uniform static air pressure. Doors are assigned
CREDIT: CLOPAY to specific homes in different regions, based on the response to
several questions. Clopay assigns a WindCode “W” rating to their
doors, based on code requirements determined by wind speed
in miles per hour (MPH), home exposure and home structural
type. W1, for example is good for winds up to 85 mph, while W7
can handle 150 mph winds.
