Amvic ICF Gets A+ Green Guide Energy Rating
The Amvic Insulating Concrete Formwork system has just been awarded an A+ by the BRE under its Green Guide to Specification assessment scheme.
To quote the BRE, 'In the Green Guide, materials and components are assessed in terms of their environmental impacts, within comparable specifications, across their entire life cycles. This accessible and reliable information will help all those involved in the design, construction and management of buildings to reduce the environmental impacts of their properties.'
The A+ awarded by the BRE demonstrates that the Amvic ICF system is one of the most environmentally friendly ways that you can build today.
Amvic Approved by Council of Mortgage Lenders
The UK Valuation Panel of the Council of Mortgage Lenders has this month officially confirmed that the Amvic ICF method of construction amongst others IS fully acceptable for mortgage purposes as a standard form of construction, due to our having full BRE certification and membership to the ICF Trade Association in the UK, the ICFA.
ICF has for many years been generally accepted by all major mortgage lenders as a masonry form of construction , however this official statement demonstrates the increasing level of significance this modern method of construction is gaining within the UK and similarly Ireland, which is great news for the environment, the construction industry as a whole, and of course Amvic.

Using Amvic is a Blast!!!
This blast test on the Amvic system shows just how strong the concrete core is.
How to Get a Quotation to Use Amvic ICF
As a building system, the Amvic ICF system provides a quick and practical method of construction.
With fewer components than would be required for traditional construction, it is also easier to organise and co-ordinate the building process.
