The connector element spans the cavity between the two
side panels and connects the two side panels together to make the
blocks. The connector elements and the EPS side panels are easily and
quickly assembled on site. The cavity made by the connector element can
be varying sizes from 101.6mm to 254mm or more depending on the length
of the connector element. It is in this cavity that concrete is placed
to make the concrete walls of the building. After the concrete cures,
the ECO-Block side panels remain in place and provide the insulation for
the building.
Stack-and-Pour for Fast Walls
ECO-Block’s easy-to-use process eliminates several steps that are
necessary with wood-frame construction, such as sheathing and insulating
the exterior walls. Made of expanded polystyrene (EPS), ICFs stack and
lock into place much like LEGOs. Extreme heat, frigid cold, rain or sun
— it doesn’t matter — EPS insulates concrete, allowing it to wet-cure as
it strengthens.
After the concrete cures, the plumbing and electrical installation can
begin. The foam is easy to cut and remove so electrical lines can be
installed. Plus, any exterior or interior finish can be applied — from
panel and lap siding to brick, stone or stucco.
ECO-Block features a bracing system with unique alignment features to
ensure a smooth wall finish. Only basic hand tools are needed to
position and secure our lightweight blocks. High-density webs, integral
to ECO-Block, provide furring strips for any standard wall-finishing
product.
High-density plastic webs are recessed providing a uniform exterior to
which any stucco or EIFS material can be applied. Having such a uniform
surface provides superior adhesion and crack resistance.
Radius walls and angled walls can also be constructed with ease through
simple mitering techniques.
ECO-Block
leads the ICF industry in research and development. It’s this dedication
to continuous improvement that allows our customers to rest easy. We
stand behind our products.
