Build Superior Homes faster With AMVIC ICF
AMCIV ICF Block Construction
The Amvic ICF system consists of modular interlocking, flame-retardant expanded polystyrene (EPS) building blocks (graphite enhanced) for permanent formwork for constructing in-situ concrete walls.
Each block or form is based on two EPS panels with recycled polypropylene connectors moulded into the polystyrene panels and spaced 150/200mm vertically.
The surfaces of the forms are marked with lines showing the location of the connectors.
The panels are castellated top and bottom, like Lego, and fit together to form a shuttering system for concrete walls.
The forms are easily cut on site to the construction dimensional requirements, resulting in a system as flexible as traditional construction methods. Wall openings or ducts for service penetrations can be positioned within the formwork before concrete pouring.
ICF Energy Efficiency - A2
The standard Amvic ICF 300 block system forms the structural basis to achieve an A2 BER Rating.
The new Amvic 350 block system, with a u-value of .16 W/m2K, performs close to passive-house standard and is being used in several passive house developments.
Typical Space Heating Cost - €1.50/m2 per annum
Passive House Performance
Amvic ICF block concrete pour - Superior Structural Strength Walls
ICF Structural Strength
Concrete is pumped into the space between the panels one full storey at a time. When set, the concrete wall is capable of supporting building structures up to six storeys. The polystyrene remains in place to act as the thermal insulation for the building.
The reinforced concrete core of an ICF wall provides excellent structural integrity, while the foam insulation acts as a cushion, reducing the risk of damage from impact or vibration.
