The Advantage of SuperForm ICF
& MST-BAR Fiberglass Rebar
Build Better from the Inside Out.
Traditional wood framing and steel reinforcement have built homes for decades—but today's building standards demand more. By combining SuperForm Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) with MST-BAR fiberglass rebar (GFRP), you create a building envelope that's stronger, more energy-efficient, corrosion-resistant, quieter, and built to perform for generations.
Discover why builders across Atlantic Canada are choosing next-generation construction systems.
The case for ICF + GFRP
One Wall.
Six Performance Advantages.
Continuous R-24+ Insulation
Unlike conventional framed walls that lose energy through wood studs, SuperForm ICF provides continuous insulation on both sides of the concrete core, dramatically reducing heat loss and helping lower heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
no Thermal Bridging
Continuous EPS insulation eliminates the thermal bridges common in conventional framing, keeping indoor temperatures more consistent while improving overall building efficiency.
Thermal Mass Performance
The reinforced concrete core stores heat energy and releases it gradually, helping maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while reducing heating and cooling fluctuations.
Quiet, Airtight quality Living
Massive concrete walls combined with continuous insulation dramatically reduce outside noise while minimizing air leakage, creating quieter, healthier, and more comfortable indoor spaces.
Built for Net-Zero Construction
Exceptional insulation performance, airtight construction, and reduced energy demand make SuperForm ICF an excellent solution for high-performance homes, passive building principles, and future-ready construction.
Superior Wind & Fire Resistance
Reinforced concrete walls outperform traditional wood framing during severe weather and provide outstanding fire resistance, making them ideal for Atlantic Canada's coastal climate.
How an ICF Wall Works
Every SuperForm ICF wall is engineered with three layers working together to create one of the highest-performing building envelopes available.
Layer One — Continuous Exterior Insulation
A continuous EPS foam panel wraps the entire exterior of the wall without interruptions, minimizing thermal bridging while protecting the concrete structure from exterior temperature fluctuations.
​
Benefit
Maximum energy efficiency and lower heating costs.
Layer Two — Reinforced Concrete Core
At the center of every SuperForm wall is a reinforced concrete core strengthened with MST fiberglass rebar. Together they provide exceptional structural integrity, impact resistance, thermal mass, and complete corrosion protection.
​
Benefit
High structural strength without the long-term corrosion risks of traditional steel reinforcement.
Layer Three — Continuous Interior Insulation
A second layer of EPS insulation covers the interior face of the wall, completing the continuous thermal envelope and eliminating the cold spots often found in conventional framed construction.
​
Benefit
Greater comfort, improved indoor temperatures, and increased energy efficiency year-round.
Corrosion-Proof
Fiberglass reinforcement will never rust, making it the ideal choice for coastal homes, marine structures, bridges, parking garages, and projects exposed to road salt or moisture.
Up to Three Times Higher Tensile Strength
MST-BAR delivers outstanding tensile performance while remaining significantly lighter than conventional steel reinforcement.
Approximately 75% Lighter
Lower weight means easier handling, safer installation, reduced transportation costs, and improved productivity on the jobsite.
Non-Conductive
Unlike steel, fiberglass reinforcement does not conduct electricity or transfer heat, helping eliminate unwanted thermal bridges while improving overall building performance.
Superior Bond Strength
Engineered surface deformation creates an exceptional bond with concrete, resulting in long-lasting structural reinforcement.
Faster Installation
Because fiberglass bars are lightweight and easy to handle, crews can place reinforcement more quickly while reducing fatigue and improving jobsite efficiency.
