The Best Form for Any
Function
Insulating Concrete
Forms (ICFs) represent one of the fastest-growing sectors in the
construction industry today. ICFs are hollow blocks or panels made of
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) that a construction crew stacks to create the
exterior walls of a residential or commercial building. Workers then add
reinforcing steel and fill the gap (typically 100mm to 200mm) between
the two layers of foam with concrete. This combination of concrete,
steel and foam creates a very strong and energy-efficient structure.
After the concrete has hardened, the forms stay in place and become the
insulation for the walls.
The Benefits of
ECO-Block ICF:
-
Environmentally
Friendly:
Use of wood products in construction significantly reduced.
- Energy-Efficient:
Provides superior insulation, reducing heating/cooling costs and
creating a virtual air/vapor barrier.
-
Sound-Suppressing: The interior rooms are effectively shielded
from outside noise.
- Quickly
Constructed: One house per day with a four-man crew.
- Extremely Strong:
Walls are “cast-in-place,” monolithic, reinforced concrete.
- Versatile:
Any interior or exterior finish can be applied.
- Fire-Retardant:
Up to a four-hour Fire Resistive Rating.
ECO-Block is the
world’s most advanced ICF technology:
- Less Expensive:
Reduced EPS molding and manufacturing costs.
- Stronger:
Superior strength during the crucial period of the concrete pour.
- More Versatile:
Same side panel for 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, 250mm or larger ICF form.
- Easier to
Transport: Components allow assembly on site.
