ICFs have much to offer for your construction projects.
Traditional wood frame construction is reliable and respectable, but it’s not necessarily the best option out there. There are plenty of alternatives that cost less in the long run and even outperform wood construction, such as ICFs.
ICFs, or insulated concrete forms, refer to an innovative technology we are proud to offer at Build ICF Strong. Specifically, we offer BuildBlock ICFs, which are recognized as leaders in the industry. These pre-assembled blocks are made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, and they are interlocking pieces that can be reconfigured and experimented with during the course of a project. Beyond that, they are insulated on both sides, so you don’t need to worry about whether you have installed them backwards or not. They’re reversible, after all.
Once you are satisfied with the configuration, it’s time to reinforce the forms. Stacked together, ICFs create hollow walls, and it is inside these hollow walls that steel rebar is placed and concrete is poured, creating incredibly strong structures.
Not only are ICFs simple to work with, but they also come with a variety of benefits, including the following:
- Energy efficiency
- Cost-effectiveness
- Fast installation
- Fire resistance
- Safety and disaster resilience
