The Best Form For Any Function
ECO-Block is the superior Insulating Concrete Form (ICF). It’s simpler
than other ICF systems, taking less time to learn. It’s faster than the
rest, requiring less time for each job and keeping more money in your
pocket. And it’s better, because ECO-Block makes it easier to get your
project done right the first time.
The power of ECO-Block resides in its sheer simplicity. Simply put, it’s
easier to work with than other ICFs, giving you unlimited design
flexibility. And training is a snap. The webs, the panels, the
connectors — the system is easy to grasp. ECO-Block utilizes fewer and
more versatile components. Using one crew, you can build from the
footing to the roofline, without the need of furring or insulation
contractors.
Simplicity fosters versatility. You can quickly assemble walls of
virtually any thickness, from 100mm on up in 50mm increments. Got a saw?
ECO-Block cuts easily into any shape you need — perfect for unique
window openings and arches. And any exterior or interior finish can be
directly applied to the panels. With Universal Buck, there are no
limitations on design.
Five great reasons why you should build with ECO-Block ICFs:
1. Superior Product: ECO-Block structures are disaster-resistant,
better able to withstand tornadoes, hurricanes, fires and earthquakes.
Plus, the end product offers energy savings of up to 50 percent. Its
insulated walls dramatically reduce outside noise pollution, making the
buildings very quiet.
2. Increased Business: Consumers are driving ECO-Block’s
popularity. Happier customers take pride in ownership and willingly give
referrals. We constantly hear this story from builders who use
ECO-Block.
3. Industry Recognition: Builders who use ECO-Block stand apart
from the competition and are recognized as being at the leading edge of
new construction technology.
4. Profitability: Builders can profit by offering ECO-Block as an
upgrade from other materials and eliminate the need for callbacks on
exterior walls.
5. Reduced Labor Costs: Depending on the project, teams typically
require one crew leader and three laborers to build with ECO-Block,
eliminating the need to depend on both foundation and framing
subcontractors.
The System
Eco-Block leads the ICF industry in research and development. The
company’s improvements, products and services are ongoing.
The ECO-Block wall system is modular, with one standard-size expanded
polystyrene shell (EPS) side panel used for concrete walls that are
100mm thick on up in 50mm increments.
The expanded polystyrene allows builders to pour concrete in extreme
weather conditions — hot, cold, dry or wet. It provides an insulated
environment for the concrete to set, allowing maximum strength. The EPS
insulation easily cuts to conceal plumbing and electrical lines. Any
standard exterior or interior finish can be applied, including panel and
lap siding, brick, stone or stucco.
ECO-Block adapts to just about any construction method, including the
following examples:
Multi-Story Buildings: Using a combination of the various-size
ECO-Block dimensions, multi-story buildings can be completed with ease.
Tilt-up Walls: Using one side panel, tilt-up walls can be
constructed that have insulation and furring on one side with no
additional work.
Footings: Using “splice connectors,” footings can be easily
constructed.
