ICF-Therm is an Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) construction system that allows for fast construction of creative, flexible energy efficient buildings (NZEB Compliant) with low running costs and a long sustainable life.
Where can ICF Therm be used?
- Residential Houses
- Apartment Blocks
- Commercial Projects
- Nursing Homes
Benefits of ICF
- Building Regulations & Nzeb - We understand that compliance with Building Regulations and the recently imposed obligations of NZEB compliance is crucial for you. Our ICF (Insulated Concrete Formwork) walls work in conjunction with complementary best-practice energy-efficient options that help you easily achieve compliance alongside NZEB requirements and A Ratings.
- How high can ICF Therm be built - ICF Therm blocks are designed to withstand the pressures of wet concrete with pours up to 3 meters in height.
- Thermal Bridging - With an ICF Therm wall, the thermal mass of the concrete combined with the expanded polystyrene insulation inside and outside the concrete core help keep the building warm in winter and cool in summer, conserving energy and reducing temperature fluctuations.
- Air Tightness - ICF Therm walls eliminate air leakage due to the sealing effect of concrete and the low permeability of the formwork maintaining a strong air barrier over the long life of a building, increasing energy efficiency and allowing controlled ventilation.
- Fire Resistance - By providing a two-hour fire rating our products are fire-resistant to very high standards.
- NSAI Certified - Our system is certified by NSAI.
- U Value - The ICF Therm system offers the following optional wall U values:
