Ken Williams - VP Sales, Marketing and Product Development

 

Ken has worked in the ICF industry since 1992 with AAB/BlueMaxx/ARXX, Logix, FOX Blocks ICF, Insul-Deck,  Legalett Shallow Slab on Grade Foundations & Air Heated Radiant Floors and Giraffe ICF Bracing Systems providing market development, technical support, sales and training services. A project early in his career introduced Ken to Bailey Metal Products. This relationship was what helped create the Simpson Strong Tie ICF Floor bracket so often used now throughout North America. The integration of light gauge steel and EPS is also the basis of the EPS-Deck concrete floor slab forms. Strong, light weight, versatile, well engineered and inexpensive is always a winning combination.

 

All of this experience has provided Ken with a diverse awareness of the opportunities that EPS form work and engineering bring as with Legalett’s recently released GEO-Passive Super Insulated Slab Foundations which was used by the Ottawa Housing Corp for the first 4 story, 42 unit Passive House condo in Canada. With ThermalWall PH Passive House External Wall Insulation being used on many high efficiency, affordable housing projects throughout Canada.

 

Along the way Ken has helped the manufacturers he has worked with to develop many products that have helped enhance and move the ICF industry forward. Ken is proud to have been a recipient of 7 international ICF Builder Awards and has been a contributing author for a number of industry related magazines.
