ECO-Block Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs) represent the superior way
to build. ECO-Block is simpler and easier to install than wood-frame
methods and, even other ICF systems. It's faster, taking less time with
fewer people. And its better, because ECO-Block buildings are vastly more
energy-efficient. Stronger. Quieter. Resistant to fire, moisture, mold and
the elements. With a positive ecological impact.
Simpler
This state-of-the-art method of construction is also the simplest.
ECO-Block insulating concrete forms are EPS (expanded polystyrene) panels
that easily snap together to create walls of virtually any thickness, from
100mm on up in 50mm increments. The space between the panels is filled with
concrete that cures and hardens into a monolithic, reinforced core of
incredible strength.
No Limits To Design
ECO-Block gives you unlimited design flexibility. Got a saw? ECO-Block
cuts easily into any shape you need perfect for unique window openings
and arches. You can also choose from our pre-formed corners in varying
sizes and angles. And any exterior or interior finish can be directly
applied to the panels.
- Build from the footing to the roofline, using one crew, one system.
- Form walls
100mm thick and greater in any configuration.
- Create any shape or contour your design calls for.
- Apply any exterior or interior finish.
Faster
The ECO-Block system gets the job done faster. With our multiple
manufacturing locations throughout Australia, you save on
transportation costs and delivery time. Because our flat panels can be
packed tightly, ECO-Block is easier to ship and handle than other
fixed-block ICFs.
Easy to Learn, Easy to Install
The ECO-Block system is easy to learn, requiring less time for
training. Installing window and door openings is fast and simple with
Universal Buck, the first field-engineered PVC buck system in the
industry. ECO-Blocks system of latching connectors snaps in place
quickly, so ICF panels are joined together fast and the job is done
sooner. Only one construction crew is needed to get the job done, instead
of the typical three.
- Install window and door openings fast with Universal Buck.
- Train in less time with our easy-to-understand, integrated system.
- Assemble walls of any size quickly with easy-to-snap-in connectors.
- Electrical and plumbing installations are fast and easy.
Better
This is the better way to build, period. Energy savings generated by an
ECO-Block building are enormous and continue for the life of the
building. You save on utility and maintenance costs. ECO-Block buildings
stand strong against the wind and weather and will not warp over time.
They can have up to a four-hour fire resistive rating. Many companies give
discounts to ICF building owners for disaster and fire insurance.
- Significant energy savings.
- Reduced noise transmission.
- Will not support the growth of mold or mildew.
- Can be built to any seismic or hurricane-storm standard.
- Up to a four-hour Fire Resistive Rating.
