Insulated Concrete Forms are very large format polystyrene blocks with a hollow core in which concrete is poured to form the wall structure. The polystyrene walls of the blocks then provide an additional barrier system which adds exceptional warmth & sound-proofing. Here’s how it works…
- Lightweight ICF blocks are very easy to get on site, saving significant time and labour costs in the early construction phase.
- ICF blocks are designed to stack securely together and are customised on site to suit the building design specifications.
- ICF construction is completed by pouring concrete into the cavity.
- Once cured, the cladding is fixed. This can be wood, tile, plaster, weatherboards or any other cladding feature desired.
- Family inside, wet weather outside. The result is a home with triple the insulation values required by the New Zealand building code, and will outlast the 50 year durability requirement for the structure.
