Parex ICF Finish System

ICF Finish System

IMPACT SYSTEM from Parex makes good sense for ICF projects.

IMPACT SYSTEM is designed to complement Insulated Concrete Forms or "ICF" wall systems.

This exterior finish system includes a thick polymer base coat with enhanced impact resistance applied directly over approved ICF systems. Its integrally colored 100% acrylic finish coat with "DPR" dirt pick-up resistance offers virtually unlimited design versatility and low maintenance.

Superior durability and impact resistance are just two benefits IMPACT SYSTEM offers. Add custom color matching, technical support, product specifications, more than 100 Parex distributors and the peace-of-mind from knowing EVERY system component has been test.

It makes sense.

More information can be found at the Insulated Concrete Form Association.
