What is ICF Construction?
ICF stands for insulated concrete forms. This is similar to placing LEGO blocks together when you were a child. These walls are formed with insulation on the inside and outside and pieced to fit perfectly together when constructing your home or building. Then concrete is poured into the walls that are reinforced with rebar. These walls are laced together so well that it helps to eliminate any outside air infiltration. That means better insulation and energy efficiency for you.
