Insulating Concrete Forms is an innovative construction system that involves the delivery of expanded Polystyrene building blocks with metal or plastic reinforcements to the construction site where they are filled with concrete.
This construction system has been highly successful in North America and Canada - in 2004 60,000 ICF single family houses were built with ICFs and the growth rate has reached 25% per year - where by the advantages lie in low energy requirements through integrated insulation (EPS), protection and resistance against natural disasters (tornados, floods, etc.) and cost savings during construction through fast assembly.
