Why choose Nudura® Insulated Concrete Forms

- The Nudura® standard block measures 8' long by 18" high, a huge 12 square feet. Compare that with other blocks measuring just 4' long by 16" high, a mere 5.33 square feet or others at only 4 square feet.
When you can place up to 300% more block than your competition, that's more $$$ in your back pocket.
AND, a longer block reduces waste by about 50%. Why? Suppose you need a 3' length of block: with a standard block, you cut off 3' and 1' is garbage. With Nudura®, you cut off 3' and have 5' left. ZERO garbage. Nudura® folding technology means thin. A typical 8" ICF takes up just over 13" of space. A Nudura® folded 8" block takes up less than 6" of width, over 50% space saving.
So what does thinness mean to you, the builder? First, as ICF delivery cost is always based on volume, the Nudura® volume results in lower delivery costs to your jobsite. Second, 50% less storage space on your jobsite improves site logistics, a big advantage on small city lots.
I built a 3 bed extension in Nudura. Very easy to use and fast build. Walls for a double garage and half the extension, Me, my girlfriend and a neighbour none of us had any experience completed the work in a weekend.
I'm a Nudura installer, got pulled in to help on an amvic build for the first time... and I have to say I'm glad I use Nudura... The amvics were way more labour to install and they don't "click" as well together... too many seams.
Very good product!
I just came from an 8 hour training with the reps from nudura and this product is amazing!
Nice work! Excellent communication.

Great vid, only with it was longer. lol
best when poured in aerated foam concrete with specific gravity. insulated concrete.
Do you have some idea about how to do asymmetric width transition on a T form? The application came about with the attached garage and the ICF wall of the walkout basement. The ICF wall of the walkout basement would have wider core to carry the load of the main floor above, but the attached garage firewall, can use narrower ICF form. How could I do this width transition horizontally? I see many training video out there on vertical transitions of ICF wall widths...
We would use the Zee T bracket to quickly make our own custom t transition. See this page here; fab-form.com/zontBracing/zee.php
Available in asia?
Hello, what is the distance of the rebar vertically and horizontally please.
Vocês importa para o Brasil?
Excellent. How much does it cost and where can I get one?
I would contact the manufacturer; www.nudura.com
hello, we ask permission to use the footage in this video as part of a collection of construction technologies that we have summarized, the source of the video we include in the video
( Channel Rumah Em )
Anyone here suggest me a vid or product to check out when making a house be it Bricks - Mortar - ready made blocks - or cheap ICF, please suggest me the cheap ones that you know any and all proper suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

can we buy that in the US?
yes
Nudura is a good block , but has the same failing as all block systems: waste, expect to lose 20-25% of material due to windows, doors ... once you cut a block, the leftover is usually not used
I agree with you that waste can be an issue. But as Nudura is reversible, 20-25% is far, far too high. With all small offcuts onsite, we create Frankenstein blocks by gluing these back together and using them for the top row, where pressure is low. I would say we are averaging maybe 3% waste factor on all the projects that we supply.
VANCOUVER ICF tried that with Nudura and Arxx and Fox
Time consuming
Panel system Quadlock had zero waste naturally
I ll give you that for blocks Nudura is tops and reversible is huge
@@vancouvericf4386 , thanks for the pro tip on using glue to create "Frankenstein" blocks! May I ask what type of glue you use for that? Sounds genius and as I will be doing this virtually by myself, waste is a huge issue for me - can't afford that!
*On another note, do you find that it's pretty easy to use the stabilizing system (to keep the walls plumb)? I heard another pro tip was to tilt the walls inward towards the stabilizers by 1/4" in order to ensure the ability to "push out", rather than try to "pull in" when it comes to leveling the walls. Any tips on this system appreciated, as I don't have a lot of construction experience besides basic furniture making. Ty
What you want is a low expansion foam, that doesn't push the blocks away. We supply one made by Rivenco in our local market; rivenco.com/ Place a uncut block on the ground, put your Frankenstein pieces ontop and foam together, then place another uncut block ontop. Boom, new block for the top of the wall. In regards to bracing, on long wall yes we recommend leaning them in slightly, as it is always easier to push than pull a wall. We don't supply traditional steel ICF braces on our jobs. We supply the Zont bracing system from Fab-Form; www.fab-form.com/zontBracing/zontBracingOverview.phpThis is more cost effective to our customers, and is a lot easier to ship and store.

fox blocks are reversible, pre assembled, and just plain easier to use. Will not use Nudura again after the last project (240 blocks) with inability to use #5 rebar when cold outside and ill fitting "T" sections. And the background "music" on this video is obnoxious and annoying.
Thanks for letting us know your taste in music. No ICF T Block is very good, that is why we use the Zee bracket from Fab-Form; fab-form.com/zontBracing/zee.php
Nudura is reversible, pre-assembled, and we build in very cold climates during the winter with all projects using #5 rebar.
Interesting you compare ONE brand of other icf that is non reversible and assume all others are also not reversible, afaik others outside of Nudura except the one you demonstrated of not being reversible is quite the contrary as most of them have always been or at some time before your video were redesigned to become reversible. Also not the only manufacturer to offer flat pack as shown or with separate webs requiring assembly before use.
The only thing that separates Nudura from the rest is the height and length, they still do not offer buck forms for openings and no floor/deck forms yet like what Build Block and Quad Lock offer. The only upside of Nudura to others is as said and shown which means faster assembly for large projects like a 10,000 square foot warehouse to that of the smaller units. When it comes to radius (Build Block has these as of a year before your video) blocks you still have to cut up blocks to make the curve and thus creates "waste".
I could go on and on, but not going to waste your time much further for now.
All the best Josh
