Florida company takes on Reward
ICF production
Reward Wall Systems Inc. has
added a new production location for
its iForm insulated concrete forms:
Cellofoam, in Orlando, Fla.
The addition of this plant comes
in response to an increased demand
for insulating concrete forms in the
Gulf Coast region. This partnership
means timelier service to Florida as well
as much of the Gulf Coast, including
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
As ICFs bring benefi ts to buildings in
this area of the country through wind,
moisture and hurricane resistance,
builders and owners now have a more
reliable regional option for safe building
practices. Cellofoam had previously
been producing Reward’s eForm.
