Abstract

An internally aligned insulating concrete form window and door buck that self aligns into the insulated concrete wall forms and it allows for the changing of the face and edge materials when desired, and the use of solid insulating materials with internal alignment elements that fit into the cavity of the insulated concrete formed wall which bonds to the concrete. The internally aligned insulating window and door buck generally includes an insulated window and door buck made as a single insulating element or with multiple components with a configuration that allows for the use of various type of materials on the face and edges of the buck, and have the ability to align to the inside of an insulated concrete formed walls so as no external bracing or strapping or support is needed to keep the buck aligned with the wall forms during concrete placement. Having a firm insulation material as the buck is an integral part of the invention in that recesses or shapes in the insulation material can allow the fluid concrete to flow into and around these recesses and shapes and make a bond to the buck. The buck also has the ability to use single or multiple insulation elements to make up the insulating and alignment elements of the buck.
