The End of Logix ICF
As of January 1, 2025, Logix ICF (insulated concrete forms) will no longer be available for purchase. This marks the end of an era for a system that many contractors and builders in Edmonton relied on. While Logix built a solid reputation for performance, its successor has arrived — and it’s designed to address many of the limitations builders faced.
Introducing Element ICF: The Next Generation
Element ICF is a hybrid insulated concrete form system that combines preformed blocks with site-assembled panels, giving you flexibility and efficiency on every project. 0
The system also includes patented “flexties” for locking courses and height adjusters to hit precise wall heights — simplifying construction and reducing waste. 1
Performance Upgrades That Matter
Building with Element ICF gives you a 6-in-1 system: structural formwork, insulation, reinforcement, air barrier, vapor barrier, and furring strips all in one. 2
This streamlined system saves labour and cuts down on specialized trades — a huge advantage for Edmonton builds where crew time and cost matter. 3
Plus, Element ICF offers serious energy performance: up to 50% energy savings thanks to continuous insulation, airtightness, and thermal mass. 4
Durability, Comfort & Resilience
Element ICF walls are very resilient — they’re built to withstand fire, wind, moisture, and seismic loads. 5
Inside the home, you’ll benefit from consistent temperature, reduced noise transmission, and a mold-resistant envelope, thanks to the airtight, insulated design. 6
Financial Stability & Long-Term Value
Unlike lumber, which has volatile prices, concrete and ICF pricing is more stable — helping reduce risk for developers and builders. 7
Because Element ICF combines so many building functions into one system, you gain speed, reduce labor, and save on trade coordination. 8
Green Building for Edmonton’s Future
Element ICF supports sustainable building: its EPS components are largely recyclable, and the system produces minimal waste. 9
Plus, with its high thermal performance, Element ICF helps reduce heating and cooling demands — key for long-term net-zero goals. 10
