Insulated Concrete Forms: Pros and Cons - Jenkins Design Build
2020年5月8日 · Insulated concrete formwork, commonly known as ICF, is a construction method used in home building that utilizes styrofoam foundation forms to create a strong and well-insulated structure. It’s an alternative to traditional wood-frame housing.
What is an ICF Concrete Foundation? | Basics Explained
Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) offer strength and insulation for underground walls. Building an ICF foundation involves stacking EPS foam panels or interlocking polystyrene forms. The forms are reinforced, braced, and then filled with concrete. This method is a quick and straightforward way to construct below-ground walls.
