ICF Housing
INTRODUCTION
ICF (Insulating Concrete Formwork) Housing is an innovative method of construction which combines the inherent strength of concrete with the excellent thermal insulation properties of polystyrene.
INSULATING CONCRETE FORMWORK
ICF has become an established mainstream method of construction in Germany, France the USA and Canada since its introduction in the 1960's. Its use is relatively new to the UK, but looks to be becoming well established due to its excellent credentials as listed below.

SYSTEM
The ICF System is surprisingly simple in its application, consisting of a variety of Blocks, Planks, Panels and Composites (all of which can be modified to suit the particular requirements of the build), Concrete and Steel Reinforcement.
