Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) are hollow foam blocks which are stacked into the shape of the exterior walls of a building, reinforced with steel rebar, and then filled with concrete. Insulated concrete forms combine one of the finest insulating materials, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), with one of the strongest structural building materials, steel-reinforced concrete. The result is a wall system of unmatched comfort, energy efficiency, strength and noise reduction.

Why use ICFs?
By providing a wall system that is more energy efficient, stronger, more sound resistant and more environmentally sustainable than virtually any other construction method, Insulated Concrete Forms make it easy to build green. ICFs are easy to install, putting less pressure on the construction team and ensuring that your project stays on schedule and on budget.

What is a Hybrid Wall? (ICFs) K-Wall is unique in its capacity to offer both ICFs and poured concrete walls. We recognize that each of these technologies has its merits and liabilities, but only a hybrid wall can offer the best of both. This unique solution saves you money by ensuring that insulated walls are only placed in locations where they will they will conserve energy and make your home more comfortable and less expensive to heat and cool.

One key to savings is keeping labor costs down. ICFs go together quickly and easily and provide designers as much flexibility as conventional concrete forms. Most ICF systems can be manipulated into curves and angles that require only minor on-site trimming and bending. But aren't IFCs expensive? According to the Portland Cement Association, using ICFs above-grade adds only about 3% to overall construction costs compared with conventional wood-framing.
