They stopped out almost daily to see if we needed something,” he said.Ĭonstruction started in May. White said the staff at LiteForm was very helpful during the process. Part of the exterior will be covered in stone.ĭon Prenger of Prenger Construction, who uses LiteForm almost exclusively for his construction projects, installed the FlexxBlock insulated concrete forms. The building will have an asphalt shake roof and a stucco finish over the walls. In addition, the new 7,000-square-foot CENEX station will have no intermediate walls inside, so it needed to have concrete exterior walls to pass code, he said.
And if it is going to catch a lot of wind, it will be much stronger than a wood frame structure,” said White. “The building will be well insulated, so you won’t hear all of the traffic driving by. People can feel good about using these high quality insulating products because they are made right here in Siouxland.”įor more information about building a strong and durable structure with products from LiteForm Technologies, call (402) 241-4402 or visit them at Using LiteForm insulated concrete forms for the walls of the new CENEX convenience store/gas station in Jackson, Neb., will result in a sturdier building and help with sound control, said Murray White, general contractor for the building project. “Many people are looking to LiteForm Technologies for a solution,” said Pat Boeshart, president of LiteForm Technologies.
“I tried the products and I liked them,” he said. Over the years, Froelich has used other LiteForm products for commercial and residential projects, and he keeps coming back to them because they create structures that are strong, have a high insulation value, and are quiet inside. It speeds the process and saves labor because you avoid the process of bending, cutting and tying rebar,” Hall said. “Contractors can in some cases reduce the amount of concrete that gets used for the project. The insulating board also works for insulating uninsulated spaces, and for shallow frost-protected foundations. Even with this cold weather, it hasn’t moved a bit,” said Froelich, who started Fremont Tire in 1976 and is now retired.Ĭonstruction grade foam insulation from LiteForm can be used for new or replacement sidewalks, driveways or patios. “The rigid foam board insulation keeps the frost away from the concrete and keeps it from lifting the concrete. FlexxBoard25 is a rigid foam board insulation specifically designed for use under concrete. He visited with LiteForm Technologies of South Sioux City, and purchased the FlexxBoard25 and Helix products. When Frank Froelich of Hinton, Iowa poured a 26-by-60-foot concrete patio last summer, he wanted to use products that would keep the concrete from heaving and cracking in a couple of years.
