Both KORFIL and ICON Inserts are individually molded of expandable polystyrene and designed to fit standard two (2) core masonry units of 6, 8, 10 and 12-inch widths for use in both single wythe and cavity wall construction. The Hi-R Wall System is a specifically designed concrete masonry unit and individually molded EPS insulation insert. Inserts are preinstalled at the block plant prior to delivery on the job site. The assembly provides a wall system capable of achieving higher thermal R values than convential masonry, with little effect on structural integrity.

  • Eliminate the need for on-site labor to insulate masonry walls.
  • Do not deteriorate in insulation R-value with moisture or aging.
  • Allow space within the cores for the escape of moisture. This space also allows for easy installation of utilities within the wall.
  • Can be handled by masons just as easily as uninsulated blocks.
  • Are cost-competitive when compared to the various other methods used to insulate concrete blocks.
  • Have no effect on the fire rating of conventional concrete block walls.
  • Improve both the dewpoint and sound transmission resistance of ordinary concrete blocks.

     

    KORFIL Inserts are made from flame-retardant treated expandable polystyrene. Like all foamed plastics, good fire procedures must be followed during storage and installation. Inserts give off no toxic products of combustion, except carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, concentrations of which are far less than those given off by equal volumes of wood products. Expandable polystyrene contains no fluorocarbons and no formaldehyde.

    Composition and Materials: KORFIL Inserts are individually molded from expandable polystyrene in a density range of 0.90 to 1.14 lbs. per cu. ft. Inserts are packaged at the point of manufacture in heat-sealed, clear polyethylene bags.

     Installation

    Preparatory Work: None required. Inserts are placed in blocks prior to delivery to the job site. Inserts do not affect the handling of blocks so no added labor is involved.

    Precautions: During storage and installation, good fire safety procedures should be followed. Care should also be taken to make certain all broken or damaged inserts are replaced.

     Availability: KORFIL Inserts are manufactured under protection of a United States Patent. They are sold only to concrete block manufacturers.  HiWay Concrete is a licensed distributor of CBIS products.

     Maintenance: No maintenance is necessary.
