Made of expanded polystyrene, or EPS, ICF’s are an insulating forming system for poured-in-place concrete walls and foundations. Introduced in Europe, ICF's have been in use around the world for over 30 years. Over 50 manufacturers in the US and Canada make ICF’s in a variety of shapes and sizes for use in foundations, basements, multiple-story dwellings, and commercial facilities. Rather than using traditional plywood or 2-by forms, lightweight ICF’s stack in a running bond pattern forming both an exterior and interior insulated wall. Installers lay rebar horizontally and vertically inside the ICF’s to create a structurally sound unit designed for the expected vertical and lateral loading conditions. After proper installation and bracing, the ICF’s are pumped full with a soupy concrete mixture held to a 5"-6" slump. Pre-manufactured 45- and 90-degree corners coupled with a precision alignment system helps to adjust the walls to ensure a perfectly square and plumb structure.
