Installing BuildDeck or another ICF decking often requires cutting the inside of the ICF block in half to allow a monolithic concrete cap to join seamlessly with the ICF wall. The BuildBlock ICF is designed with attachment locations for BuildClip to attach diagonally and restore missing web strength from the half-height block cut. BuildClip Ledge Block Web Support restores additional strength to BuildBlock ICFs when they are cut in half on one side to join a roof or decking system.
