What Are Insulated Concrete Forms and Why Choose BuildBlock ICFs?

The Innovative Building Solution for Long-Term Savings and Durability

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) are cutting-edge building blocks designed for energy-efficient, durable, and cost-effective construction. Made from dense Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam and reinforced with solid concrete, ICFs create walls that are stronger, safer, and more efficient than traditional wood-frame construction.

How Do ICFs Save You Money?

  • Lower Utility Costs: ICF walls act as an advanced thermal barrier, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Homes built with ICFs require 44% less energy to heat and 32% less energy to cool, saving you thousands on energy bills over time.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Unlike wood-frame walls, ICFs don’t rot, warp, or degrade. They require minimal upkeep, reducing repair costs over the lifetime of your home.
  • Insurance Savings: The durability of ICFs makes your home more resilient to natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and fires, which can result in significant savings on homeowner’s insurance.
  • Downsized HVAC Systems: The energy efficiency of ICFs allows for smaller heating and cooling systems, reducing upfront costs and ongoing expenses.
