| The construction industry is currently facing a major revolution with the introduction of insulated concrete form (ICFs). ICF is an innovative exterior wall building material that is rapidly replacing traditional "stick frame" residential houses and commercial construction world wide.
An insulated concrete form design is simply a hollow, lightweight, "stay in place" form. During construction, the foundation forms are first stacked together into the desired shape, then filled with concrete in order to make stable, durable and sustainalbe concrete walls. One of the key benefits of using insulated concrete forms is that they offer a "5 in1" solution that provides structure, insulation, vapour barrier, sound barrier and attachnments for drywall and exterior siding in one easy step.
Amvic ICFs are designe with 2.5 inches of 1.5lb/cf density expended polystyrene (ESP) foam on both sides of a form containing 8 polypropylene webs. they are spaced 6 inches on center, and are fully reversible, allowing Amvic ICF to be stacked quickly, easily and without the need for glue or ties. Amvic's user friendly, easy to install system increases job site efficiency and worker productivity, which saves you time and money. |
