steel or wood frame.
What are insulating concrete forms?
Insulating concrete forms (ICFs) are hollow foam blocks which are stacked
into the shape of the exterior walls of a building, reinforced
with steel rebar, and then filled
with concrete. ICFs combine one of the finest insulating
materials, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), with one of the strongest
structural building materials, steel reinforced concrete. The
result is a wall system of unmatched comfort, energy efficiency,
strength and noise reduction.
What's the difference between insulating
concrete forms and insulated concrete forms?
They typically refer to the same thing and you'll
see both phrases throughout our website. However,
the term insulating concrete form is more
precise because it indicates that the insulating characteristic
of the form is continuous and ongoing.
