Advantages of ICF - Quick Summary

30% to 50% Savings on monthly energy bills

(ICF walls = R-52, Stick Frame = R-19)

Reduces Sound Transmission by 2/3’s (STC Rating 50 +)

Nonorganic ICF materials prevent insect damage as well as Mold and Mildew growth.

Because of the concrete ICF shell which is 6 to 10 times stronger than framed homes, the structures can withstand California wildfires, Midwest tornadoes, and Florida hurricanes.

Stronger, Quieter, Healthier, More Energy Efficient Homes.

  • Offers more cost savings
    • 30-50% in monthly savings on energy bills.
    • Less repair and maintenance over time.
    • Flexible financing through energy-efficient mortgages and reduced insurance costs.
  • Provides superior comfort
    • Reduces sound transmission by two thirds with an STC rating of 50+.
    • EPS stops air movement and creates an airtight seal around the structure.
    • Prevents the entry of dust, pollens and pollution,
  • Protects the environment
    • Reduces harmful emissions by 30-50%.

AMVIC ICF

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) are revolutionizing modern construction and rapidly changing the way we build structures. Cost effective, sustainable and environmentally friendly, ICF construction is a superior way to build; and no one makes better ICFs than Amvic.

Amvic

Stronger, Quieter, Healthier and More Energy Efficient Homes.

Our Expanded Polystyrene forms stack together and interlock, simply add rebar, brace, and pour. With the concrete set, forms remain as insulation, which can then be finished to suit your design. No temporary forms to cut or remove, no big mess to clean up, and no excess waste headed to the landfill. The structure is rock solid, and in fact, will continue to grow stronger overtime.

3 Easy Steps

Stack

Place corner blocks then lay the straight blocks towards the center of each wall segment.

Stack

Brace

Install alignment bracing around the entire wall of the structure to ensure that the walls are straight and plumb and to enable alignment adjustment.

Brace

Pour

Pour the concrete into the stacked walls using a boom pump.
