ICF's Explained
Whether you’re building a home or a multi-level commercial structure, you can’t beat the rewards of building with BuildBlock Insulating Concrete Forms. BuildBlock insulating concrete forms provide a lightweight, high-strength alternative to using steel, wood frame or concrete block.
What are ICF’s
Insulating concrete forms (ICFs) are concrete foam blocks which are stacked to form the walls of a building, reinforced with steel rebar, and then filled with concrete. BuildBlock ICFs remain in place as part of the wall combining one of the finest insulating materials, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), with one of the strongest structural building Materials, steel reinforced concrete. The ties within the forms act as furring, so interior and exterior finishes can be applied directly to the foam. The result is a wall system of unmatched comfort, energy efficiency, strength and noise reduction.
