Quantum Select ICF
Advanced-Drained Moisture-Managed EIFS for ICF (Adhered)
Description

Quantum ICF is a pressure-moderated, Exterior Insulation and Finish System that includes the installation of Quantum Select over an approved Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) substrate, which is coated with a water-resistive barrier.

Advantages
  • CAN/ULC S716 compliant
  • CCMC listed (13103-R)
  • Continuous venting at floor lines and horizontal terminations, using pre-manufactured vented boards
  • Positive drainage (through a network of vertical and horizontal channels)
  • Continuous air/vapour barrier
  • Simple interfacing with other pressure equalized
  • 2-hour fire rating in accordance with ULC W456
  • Economical
  • Aesthetic design flexibility
  • Continuous Insulation – CI Factor = 0.65 RSI/in (Type 1 EPS)   0.7 RSI/in (Type2 EPS)
Uses

Quantum ICF is intended for use on buildings where the Building Code allows the use of fire-tested wall assemblies which include combustible foam plastic insulation.
