Contractor Advantages

Lightweight, easy to install

Each ZEE weighs just 2.9 pounds and is easy to install using 1-1/2" x #8 deck screws. They work with all ICFs that have the ties molded into the foam.

Installing ZEEs

Eliminate 3 marriage lines per T-junction

Forming T-junctions with ZEEs eliminates three marriage lines at each junction. As each marriage line takes approximately 40 minutes to cut, reinforce with 1x4s and strip, that's a lot of wasted labour. In the photo below, no marriage lines were required using ZEEs.

As each marriage line requires cutting the ICF block on each side of the line, this leads to excessive ICF waste.

Reinforce Offset Corners

Offset corners are always a challenge to brace. ZEEs allow you to do this quickly without having to rip down plywood and waste dimensional lumber. As ZEEs can be reused many times, their effective cost is minimal.

Free up valuable warehouse space

ICF T-junctions take up too much warehouse space. Eliminate T-junctions and save space for faster moving products.

Reduce SKUs

Stocking 4", 6", 8" 10" and 12" T-junctions is problematic as they are very prone to damage. ZEEs eliminate the need for these SKUs.
