News - News - about ICF (insulated concrete template)

ICF, Insulated Concrete Form, in China people also call it insulated EPS module or EPS blocks. It’s made by EPS shape molding machine and ICF mould. This kind of EPS module is very effective in heat insulation and sound insulation. It’s tested that energy conservation of the buildings made of ICF blocks can reach up to 65%. EPS ICF blocks not only provides an effective way for building external wall insulation in cold areas, but also solves the construction problems such as peeling of external wall sticking surface, and long construction period. The ICF module construction is simple and fast, tongue-and -groove connection between modules make the connection very tight. Dovetail grooves on the ICF module enable the plaster mortar tightly stick to the EPS modules.

EPS ICF modules are now a very popular product in our construction field.

Compared with traditional clay bricks, its advantages are:

1.Save money: People think that EPS energy-saving modules are more expensive than ordinary clay bricks. In fact, the weight of the EPS module wall is lighter, which can reduce the basic cost, expand the use area, save man-power, save materials, and the overall cost is better than using clay bricks.

2.Save time: the construction of the house is fast. 6 people can complete the main construction of the 150 square meter house (including roof concrete) within 7 days, and then carry out the decoration. The entire construction period does not exceed 3 months.

3.Labor saving: simple structure and low labor intensity. Even ordinary housewives can build houses as easily as building blocks under the guidance of professional staff.

4.Energy saving and emission reduction: good thermal insulation effect, warm in winter and cool in summer. In North China, because of low temperature in winter, heating system is always applied at every house. ICF module constructed houses help to reduce three-quarters of heating coal in rural areas, effectively reducing coal consumption and smoke and dust emission.

5.Strong structure and strong earthquake resistance. After using EPS ICF blocks in construction, the ordinary brick structure has been transformed into a reinforced concrete structure without increasing cost, and the seismic strength has been increased by 7 times. According to the testing of the Earthquake Testing Center, when the magnitude is above 8 degrees, the deformation of the building is harmless, and when the strength is lower than 8 degrees, the main body of the building is not damaged.

In view of the above, ICF module constructed buildings make you worry-free. The EPS ICF building module breaks the traditional building model and achieves the goal of green building and green life, say, low carbon emission, energy saving and thermal insulation, environmental protection and durability, and high seismic performance. It’s an ideal choice when making new buildings.
