WHY ICF?
Whether you're building a concrete home or a multi-level commercial structure, you can't beat the rewards of building with Insulated Concrete Forms. Insulated concrete forms provide a lightweight, high-strength alternative to using steel or wood frame.
What are insulated concrete forms?
(ICFs) are hollow foam blocks which are
stacked into the shape of the exterior walls of a building,
reinforced with steel rebar, and then filled with concrete.
Insulated concrete forms combine one of the finest insulating
materials, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), with one of the
strongest structural building materials, steel reinforced
concrete. The result is a wall system of unmatched comfort,
energy efficiency, strength and noise reduction.
They refer to the same thing and you'll see both
phrases throughout our website. However, the term insulating
concrete form is more precise because it indicates that the
insulating characteristic of the form is continuous and ongoing.
What are the advantages of an
insulated concrete form structure?
Insulated Concrete form structures are much more comfortable, quiet,
and energy-efficient than those build with traditional construction
methods. Wee the menu on the right for more details about the
advantages of insulated concrete form homes and buildings.
