Not as described. They put bubble wrap radiant barrier around some rockwool on the top. Not as described. The images are different than what I was shipped.

Jared, Thanks for your feedback and review. The product page contains a wealth of information, including a relatively well-written description, dimensions, and images. I agree that our product description doesn't resemble your description. The recessed light cover is a cone-like cylinder measuring 14" in diameter at the base, 12" in diameter at the top, and 11.5" in height, made with TempSheild's Class A/Class1 Single Double Bubble Foil wrapped with a rockwool insulation top. The product page features two images, both of which accurately represent what is boxed and shipped. If you feel misled and unsatisfied with your purchase and the item you received, you are welcome to return it for a full refund. Let us know. Thanks

The product arrived on time and was packaged carefully. Very happy with the quality of the build as well!

Packed well, arrived quickly and installed in a cinch. My only recommendation would be to post a picture with actual dimensions of the box for the rough opening and of the outside of the trim. It would help those on a tight a schedule who have to cut the whole before the product arrives. Otherwise great overall experience. I will be purchasing more of these in the future

Tried multiple times to call into customer service to discuss product before purchase. I finally just had to order the product blind and wait to receive it to answer my questions. They did have the best price for this product.

Insulated Concrete Forms with a Difference

Nexcem insulated concrete forms are different because we do not use any foams or plastics. Some refer to this type of system as ICCF or insulated composite concrete forms.

Our standard non-thermal insulated concrete forms have an insulation value of R-8 to R-12. This is based on the block thickness and inherent insulation properties of the Nexcem material itself.

Thermal Nexcem ICF blocks have a range of insulation values from R14 to R36+ (thermal mass not included). The R-value for these components depends on the unit type. The higher R values are achieved by incorporated mineral fiber insulation inserts within the cavity of the ICF concrete unit at the time of manufacture. The thickness of the insert incorporated will determine the overall R value of the wall assembly.

Nexcem provides a straightforward way to build high performance reinforced concrete walls that are energy-efficient, sound-proof, fire proof and built to last.

The choice to use mineral fiber insulation is deliberate because of its non-combustible and moisture resistant properties that complement the Nexcem material. The insulation inserts in our thermal blocks are positioned toward the exterior of the wall which results in additional protection and energy efficiency that is not possible with other insulated concrete forms. Since the R-values for our thermal units are based on the unit type, you can choose the optimal insulation value based on the requirements of your specific application.

We have also partnered with the world’s largest cork insulation manufacturer and can provide insulation inserts made from expanded cork insulation in our ICF blocks.

Nexcem ICF blocks are designed to accommodate all practical ranges of concrete thickness. The load carrying capacity of the wall system depends entirely upon the thickness of the concrete core and the steel reinforcing schedule. Standard reinforced concrete design principals (ACI 318 or CSA A23.3) based on the concrete cores are applicable.

Basement walls and walls retaining more than 4ft of soil (unbalanced) typically require a minimum 6.5″ concrete core.

The inherent insulation value, the 4 hour fire rating, the ease and speed of building and the moisture resistant capabilities make the system unmatched for most building projects. This is why our insulated concrete forms have been used worldwide in every possible building application both above and below-grade.
