Stronger, Faster, Smarter: The Next Generation of ICF Has Arrived
At Green Builder Products, we’ve always been committed to raising the standard for fire-resistant, energy-efficient building solutions. That commitment is what led us to become one of the earliest promoters of ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) in the state. And now, after months of field testing, builder feedback, and performance analysis, we’ve made a major shift:
SuperForm ICF is now our go-to block system.
We’ve discontinued our support for BuildBlock and are now proud to distribute SuperForm ICF throughout California (excluding the Sacramento region). This isn’t just a product swap. It’s a strategic move to align our offerings with the most advanced, builder-friendly system on the market.
Here’s why it matters—and what it means for your next project.
Why the Switch?
There are several reasons we made this change, and every one of them is rooted in real-world performance:
- Stronger tie design. SuperForm blocks feature high-tensile-strength polypropylene ties (up to 850 psi), which translates to less bracing, fewer blowouts during pours, and flatter walls.
- Faster installation. With features like 6” tie spacing and a 12” block height, crews can build more quickly with fewer people.
- Cleaner job sites. Pre-scored cut lines, tight interlocks, and a precision-molded system reduce waste and speed up layout.
- Reliable support. SuperForm’s builder-first culture means better availability, consistent product specs, and technical help when you need it.
In short, we believe this system sets a new benchmark for ICF performance in California’s demanding climate and building code environment.
What Makes SuperForm ICF Different
Not all ICF blocks are created equal. SuperForm stands apart for several reasons that make a difference on every jobsite:
- 850 psi tie strength ensures walls stay true under pressure and minimizes concrete blowouts.
- 6″ tie spacing means more fastening points for interior and exterior finishes.
- High-visibility red flanges allow for faster inspections and easier crew training.
- 12″ block height contributes to flatter walls and faster stacking.
- T-blocks, height adjusters, end bucks, one-sided forms, and more allow design flexibility without on-site hacks.
The system is engineered to save time, reduce costs, and increase construction quality across the board.
Field-Proven Performance
Don’t just take our word for it. SuperForm ICF is already being used in projects across North America—from homes to hotels to multifamily complexes. Here are a few real-world examples:
- Habitat for Humanity used SuperForm to build energy-efficient homes with community volunteers in Spokane, WA.
Watch the video for Habitat for Humanity project - Hilton Hotels selected SuperForm for a multi-story hotel development, where fire safety and long-term durability were key.
Watch the video for the Hilton Hotel project - Orion at Lumino Park, a large-scale multifamily development, used SuperForm to accelerate timelines while improving energy performance.

Each of these projects underscores the versatility and reliability of this system in very different use cases.
Built for California
SuperForm isn’t just a strong ICF block. It’s a solution tailored to California’s most urgent building challenges:
- Fire Resistance: Up to 4-hour fire ratings and no flame path through the wall assembly.
- Seismic Resilience: Tested to withstand earthquake stress and maintain structural integrity.
- Energy Efficiency: Exceeds California Title 24 energy standards thanks to high R-values, continuous insulation, and airtight seals.
Whether you’re designing a hillside home in wildfire territory or a mixed-use development in a seismic zone, SuperForm is built to perform.
