ICF BLOCKS
https://www.variant-haus-group.de/introduction/
ICF BLOCKS ICFs are stacked to frame the state of the dividers. Steel rebar or steel strands fortify the strengthened cement-filled empty places, which makes a layer of continuous insulation (CI). The most common type of ICFs are hollow blocks; however, there are also panel and plank ICF systems. • Block systems are empty centers hinders that stack and interlock like Legos. Blocks commonly are 12-inch to 16-inch tall and 4-feet in length. • Panel system units are 1-foot to 4-foot tall and 4-foot to 8-foot long, with a level rectangular shape, similar to a divider. They are associated with sections or ties. • Plank systems are 8-inch to 12-inch tall and 4-feet to 8-feet in length. The planks are associated with sections or ties.

ICF(Insulated Concrete Form) What is ICF? The ICF system is a safe, solid and efficient method to build houses. The ICF system uses stackable elements made of Styrofoam (Expandable Polystyrene or Styrofoam) that interlock like a child's Legos. ICF walls are quieter, a lot sturdier and have superior insulation compared to a normal wood frame or brick house. ICF buildings are safer when it comes to fire safety the Styrofoam is fire resistant and burns at a lot slower rate than a normal wall. ICF has a concrete core, which has a higher fire rating than any wood frame or brick house. ICF built homes have been some of the most energy efficient, safe and quiet houses around. The Styrofoam element doubles as an insulator surrounding the concrete while trapping heat in during the winter and the cooler air in the warmer seasons.

Insulated Concrete Forms Homes being built with ICFs have the insulation built into the walls as part of the surface. These systems create walls that have a high thermal resistance. They also provide a backing for drywall on the inside, as well as stucco, siding, or brick for the outside. https://www.variant-haus-group.de/
Why is ICF more Efficient? Using concrete forms to create walls and foundations is considered more efficient by many builders, because they snap into place easily and combine five different steps into one. ICF construction provides: 1. Insulation 2. Vapor Barrier 3. Structure 4. Sound Barrier 5. Fastening Strips https://www.variant-haus-group.de/
Types of ICFs A flat system yields a continuous thickness of concrete, like a conventionally poured wall. A grid system creates walls using a waffle pattern. The concrete is thicker at some points than others. A post-and-beam
system consists of discrete horizontal and vertical columns of concrete, which are completely encapsulated in foam insulation.
Advantages of ICFs Advantages of ICFs i.
Significant energy savings.
ii. Severe weather resistance. iii. Lower insurance premiums. iv. Faster construction time. v. Insect resistant. vi. Significant exterior noise reduction. vii. Four times the fire resistance of wood-framed homes. viii. Environmentally friendly (Using ICF blocks to construct a 2,000 square foot home will save almost 50 trees) https://www.variant-haus-group.de/
Benefits of ICFs Benefits of ICF • Save money due to economic in-house production • Fast amortization and excellent return on investment • Large production capacity • Local production saves on transportation • Easy and fast construction of buildings • Energy efficient buildings due to excellent insulation • Strong construction; resistant to natural disasters
