Know More About Construction!

ICF stands for Insulated Concrete Form. ICF construction is a building technique that involves using a system of interlocking, modular forms made of insulating material, typically expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam. These forms are assembled to create the external walls of a building, and then concrete is poured into the forms, creating a solid, well-insulated wall structure.

Formwork Assembly: The ICF forms are stacked and interlocked to create the desired shape of the building’s walls. The forms are made to fit together like a puzzle, creating a framework that defines the shape and layout of the walls.

Concrete Pouring: Once the forms are in place, concrete is poured into the cavity between the forms. The concrete fills the space and encapsulates the insulation material. The combination of concrete and insulation creates a highly energy-efficient and durable wall system.

Curing and Setting: After the concrete is poured, it needs time to cure and harden. During this process, the concrete gains its strength and durability. The insulating forms may be left in place after the concrete cures, adding to the overall insulation of the building.

Finishing: Once the concrete has fully cured, interior and exterior finishes can be applied to the walls. These finishes can include drywall, siding, stucco, or any other desired surface treatment.
