Smart Tie International

Story Behind the Invention

Inventor Jack Huwar of Belton, MO has designed a concrete forming system specifically created to reduce time, labor, and cost associated with concrete forming and insulating processes.

Concrete is a popular building material around the globe because it is low cost, easy to use, sturdy, and lasts a long time. But there is a catch - before you can pour the concrete, you need to set up a mold or formwork. This can be expensive and time-consuming. After the concrete sets, you must take down the formwork and add insulation to meet energy regulations, which takes even more time and effort. There have been some innovations, like Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs) and Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), which use insulated panels as part of the formwork. But these methods, along with traditional concrete formwork, still involve complex and often unique setups for each project, making them costly and time-consuming. But now, there is Smart Tie International!

The invention addresses the challenges of traditional Insulating Concrete Forms, Structural Insulated Panels, and standard structural concrete walls. Its unique design streamlines the process, eliminating the need for individually designed forms for each application. The result? Significant savings in both time and cost. Now you can say goodbye to complicated and costly formwork. This system simplifies the process, making it more efficient and cost-effective, while still meeting energy codes.
