What is ICF? Insulating Concrete Form work (ICF) is a lost shuttering system incorporating precision molded polystyrene (EPS Insulation) as an integral part of the construction process. The ICF blocks are set out to the approved plan and pump-filled with concrete. It is today's most cost effective and energy efficient structure. The ICF blocks contain 15cm of thermal and sound insulation creating a modern passive home, saving energy and saving the client thousands on their heating and cooling bills!
ICF Structures have superior U/Values of 0.23 where the norm is now 0.27. This combined with the other energy saving products offered in our package means we can deliver a passive Energy Efficient Home which makes a real difference to the house holders disposable income. Homes Become More Affordable,more eco friendly, quicker and cheaper to build!!!.
Originally developed in Canada (where concrete home building is standard) ICF systems have been used successfully around the world for more than 40 years. Tens of thousands of ICF homes have been built in recent years throughout the United States and Canada. They have proven successful in every region and climate, from Orlando to Calgary. ICF is proving to be very popular in ireland and the UK and NOW is the time for Spain to be privileged to this cheap, quick, inexpensive eco friendly build process.

Within the last decade many homeowners, builders and architects have come to realize the superiority of the ICF home and the ICF boom is under full swing. By 2015, ICF homes are expected to make up 15-25% of all new homes built. More and more homeowners are looking for quality-built homes that will save on heating and cooling.
