Achieve lasting strength & long-term efficiency with Insulating Concrete Forms

Insulating Concrete Forms provide a lasting building envelope for both residential and commercial construction applications.

ICFs offer all the benefits that have made concrete the material of choice for construction worldwide. They provide solid, high strength walls that resist the ravages of fire, wind and Father Time.

But ICF's also do plain concrete one better – or rather, two better – by giving two built-in layers of foam insulation. ICF construction takes the three-step process of framing, insulating, and wrapping a structure, and ties it all into one. Forms are constructed from expanded polystyrene foam and stacked like building blocks to form the exterior walls of a building; then the forms are reinforced with steel and filled with concrete. The forms interlock and fasten one to the other to provide a seamless "foundation to rafter" fully insulated, reinforced concrete walls. ICF's stay in place as a permanent part of the wall assembly.

This gives an ICF structure some sizable advantages over other construction techniques. Home and building owners can enjoy greater energy efficiency, more peace and quiet, and enhanced day-to-day comfort. All of this is wrapped up in a solid, high-quality building package with an utterly remarkable feel.
