Insulated Concrete Forms: These preformed blocks are made with expanded polystyrene (EPS) and metal rebar which can be stacked to build your frame. They are then filled with concrete to create an insulated and exceptionally strong wall! (Please see our ICF page for more information regarding this product).

The Benefits of Building a Home with Insulated Concrete Forms

Ease of Use - These building blocks are very easy to use. They require much less crew and take significantly less time to build than a traditional home

Energy Efficiency - The insulation properties of polystyrene and the high thermal mass of the concrete help to reduce the internal temperature fluctuations to create a more efficient and comfortable indoor environment.

Noise Reduction - Insulated Concrete form walls make an enormous difference in the reduction of noise transmission.

Fire-resistance - This product is highly rated for fire-resistance and has been proven in some products to have a four hour resistance rating!

Strength - These walls are exceptionally strong and can be built to hurricane/seismic standards.

Mildew/Rot - These walls will not support the growth of mildew and mold.

This Alternative Building Material is an excellent home structural choice for those living in areas where their homes are exposed to severe weather such as hurricanes and tornadoes. These blocks are made using concrete which does raise some environmental concerns. Concrete depends on cement and the production of cement is an enormous environmental hazard! However there is now in existence Cement Substitutes which are being implemented into Green Build Design.If you are interested in building a home using these blocks insist that your builder uses a concrete with a high concentration of fly-ash.
