ELEMENT 4" Height Adjuster Panel

Description

An ELEMENT height adjuster panel is used to make precise, incremental height adjustments to walls, typically by adding specific heights like 4 inches (or 10 cm). These panels, often used with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs), allow for a more exact final wall height without needing to cut large blocks and simplify construction around features like windows or door sills.

How it works

Incremental height:

The panel is designed to be added to the wall to increase its height by a specific, pre-determined amount, such as 4 inches.
Placement:

It can be placed at various points in the wall assembly to achieve the desired height at different locations, such as creating the wall section under a window opening.
Integration:

It works by interlocking with standard ICF blocks. These panels have features like webs that can be secured to adjacent blocks using specific ties or fasteners.
Simplicity:

By using these pre-sized adjuster panels, builders can achieve more accurate and consistent results compared to cutting large blocks, making the process faster and easier.

Applications

Wall height completion: Adding height to a wall section to meet a specific ceiling height.
Window and door sills: Creating the correct height under a window or door opening to ensure a proper fit and finish.
Adjusting for unevenness: Helping to level a wall when working on a site with uneven terrain or foundations.
