Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF)
Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) for Energy-efficient Construction of Walls and Foundation
Insulated concrete forms (ICF) are composed of two interconnected panels of expanded foam, which are stacked and reinforced with rebar and filled with concrete. ICF walls are structurally solid and provide continuous interior and exterior insulation. ICF homes are aesthetically pleasing, more energy-efficient than traditionally wood-framed homes, facilitate quicker construction, require less maintenance, and are more durable and disaster-resistant.
