Prebuck Window and Door Buck offers contractors, owners and designers an engineered solution for punched openings. Produced with 1-½” (38 mm) thick, treated Laminated Strand Lumber (LSL), Prebuck Window and Door Buck assures that the rough frame of the opening provides stable support for glazing and finish components.  

Prebuck offers many customized options that reduce labor and staging costs. The buck frame can be used in combination with any wall structure type but is ideally suited for wide width walls such as insulated concrete forms. When it comes to the integrity of your ICF, nothing is superior to our double V-grooved engineered buck framing system. With the help of these dovetail V-grooves and metal flanges, the buck framing system stays in place and holds much longer than those without it. Designed for direct contact with concrete and non-corrosive to metals, we use a StrandGuard (LSL) engineered lumber treated with Zinc Borate for resistance to insects and decay.  

Other common uses are with tilt-walls, precast concrete walls and panelized wall systems. Made with materials that allow direct contact with concrete, a cast in place version integrates a dual keyway design to assure a secure interface from concrete to finishes.

When it comes to the integrity of your ICF, nothing is superior to our double V-grooved engineered buck framing system. With the help of these dovetail V-grooves and metal flanges, the buck framing system stays in place and holds much longer than those without it. Designed for direct contact with concrete and non-corrosive to metals, we use a StrandGuard (LSL) engineered lumber treated with Zinc Borate for resistance to insects and decay. Another benefit of the StrandGuard (LSL) is that it will not cup, twist, or warp over time and can be cut to custom design specifications. The dovetail design of the grooves help lock the concrete in to place, while also eliminating air infiltration. The metal flange also provides many benefits along the lines of self-alignment with the walls and by supporting the ICF during the actual pouring of the concrete.
