ICF Construction
ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) construction, or "Insulated Concrete Blocks," is a building system that uses expanded polystyrene (EPS) blocks as formwork for reinforced concrete, forming the exterior walls of buildings. These blocks are stacked and then filled with concrete, resulting in robust and energy-efficient walls.
Insulated Concrete Forms
THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF ICF BLOCKS, ALL OF WHICH ARE CHARACTERIZED BY THE FACT THAT THE BLOCK MAKES ITS OWN FORMWORK, SAVING LABOR AND TIME ON CONSTRUCTION.
A construction with permanent formwork.
Advantages
HIGH ENERGY EFFICIENCY, RESISTANCE TO NATURAL DISASTERS, SUPERIOR ACOUSTIC AND THERMAL INSULATION TO OTHER SYSTEMS, SPEED AND EASY CONSTRUCTION, AND LITTLE ECOLOGICAL IMPACT.
