ICF Top Plate (Prebuck)

Description

Why do we choose ICF Top Plate (Prebuck) for our ICF installs?

#1. It's stronger than traditional wood.

#2. It's straighter than traditional wood and doesn't warp or twist, ensuring a more level main floor above it.

#3. It saves you time on the ICF install because the anchor bolts in ICF Top Plate are pre-drilled.

#4. The anchor bolts don't stick up, making it easier for framers to frame the upper portion of your home.

Available (in stock) in 11 1/4" wide. The 13 1/4" is also available for special order.

ICF Top Plate (Prebuck) is made with materials that allow direct contact with concrete and offers the contractor, owner, and design community an engineered solution for flatter, straighter sill plates. Produced with 1 1/2" thick, treated Laminated Strand Lumber (LSL) our sill solution is produced straight and stays straight. Our sill plate solution is designed to fit ICF wall widths and using our oblong countersunk holes lets the contractor set the sill plate the same day they pour the walls.
