ICF BLOCKS 

• ICFs are stacked to frame the state of the
  dividers. Steel rebar or steel strands fortify
  the strengthened cement-filled empty places,
  which makes a layer of continuous insulation
  (CI). The most common type of ICFs are hollow
  blocks however, there are also panel and plank
  ICF systems.
• Block systems are empty centers hinders that
  stack and interlock like Legos. Blocks commonly
  are 12-inch to 16-inch tall and 4-feet in length.
  
• Panel system units are 1-foot to 4-foot tall and
  4-foot to 8-foot long, with a level rectangular
  shape, similar to a divider. They are associated
  with sections or ties.
• Plank systems are 8-inch to 12-inch tall and
  4-feet to 8-feet in length. The planks are
  associated with sections or ties.

ICF(Insulated Concrete Form) 

• What is ICF?
• The ICF system is a safe, solid and efficient
  method to build houses. The ICF system uses
  stackable elements made of Styrofoam (Expandable
  Polystyrene or Styrofoam) that interlock like a
  child's Legos.
• ICF walls are quieter, a lot sturdier and have
  superior insulation compared to a normal wood
  frame or brick house.
• ICF buildings are safer when it comes to fire
  safety the Styrofoam is fire resistant and burns
  at a lot slower rate than a normal wall. ICF has
  a concrete core, which has a higher fire rating
  than any wood frame or brick house. ICF built
  homes have been some of the most energy
  efficient, safe and quiet houses around. The
  Styrofoam element doubles as an insulator
  surrounding the concrete while trapping heat in
  during the winter and the cooler air in the
  warmer seasons.

Insulated Concrete Forms

• Homes being built with ICFs have the insulation
  built into the walls as part of the surface.
• These systems create walls that have a high
  thermal resistance.
• They also provide a backing for drywall on the
  inside, as well as stucco, siding, or brick for
  the outside.

Why is ICF more Efficient?

• Using concrete forms to create walls and
  foundations is considered more efficient by many
  builders, because they snap into place easily and
  combine five different steps into one. ICF
  construction provides
• 1. Insulation
• 2. Vapor Barrier
• 3. Structure
• 4. Sound Barrier
• 5. Fastening Strips

Types of ICFs

• A flat system yields a continuous thickness of
  concrete, like a conventionally poured wall.
• A grid system creates walls using a waffle
  pattern. The concrete is thicker at some points
  than others.
• A post-and-beam system consists of discrete
  horizontal and vertical columns of concrete,
  which are completely encapsulated in foam
  insulation.

Advantages of ICFs

• Advantages of ICFs
• Significant energy savings.
• Severe weather resistance.
• Lower insurance premiums.
• Faster construction time.
• Insect resistant.
• Significant exterior noise reduction.
• Four times the fire resistance of wood-framed
  homes.
• Environmentally friendly (Using ICF blocks to
  construct a 2,000 square foot home will save
  almost 50 trees)

Benefits of ICFs

• Benefits of ICF
• Save money due to economic in-house production
• Fast amortization and excellent return on
  investment

• Local production saves on transportation
• Easy and fast construction of buildings
• Energy efficient buildings due to excellent
  insulation
• Strong construction resistant to natural
  disasters
