The PS●4000 form creates eight square feet of wall area - 50% more than standard ICFs. Four courses of PS●4000 forms will stack an eight foot wall, compared to six 16" forms or eight 12" forms, making installation faster and easier. The biggest benefit of the larger forms is the reduced amount of labor, and time spent during installation. Contractors will be able to utilize their time more efficiently due to the quick and easy installation of the 24" forms. The form will also be offered in a half-size (12" high) to minimize cutting in the field and maximize design flexibility.

The PS●4000's tongue-and-groove design also simplifies installation on the job and minimizes the problems associated with concrete spillage at the top of the wall. The forms are reversible and the markings on each side of the recessed attachment studs provide an easy guide for proper alignment. The 1 ½" width of each stud provides a strong, secure, and generous surface area for mechanically securing any type of interior or exterior finish. This new PolySteel standard provides for easier wet sets, panelized wall sections, and reversibility to simplify and speed installation.

The patented (pending) tie in the PS●4000 is made of galvanized steel wire welded in at least 40 locations. This unique design provides the strength, four-hour fire resistance rating, and dimensional stability.
