Insulating concrete forms have transformed the industry, offering a new way to improve the stability and durability of the material.
In the construction world, processes change as advancements occur. One example is the way concrete is placed on job sites. Insulating concrete forms have transformed the industry, offering a new way to improve the stability and durability of the material. Also known as ICFs, insulating concrete forms are interlocking blocks used to create walls, roofs, and floors from concrete. They are available from various brands and manufacturers, but at Burlington Concrete and Asphalt Inc., we supply and install BuildBlock ICFs.
We utilize BuildBlock insulating concrete forms because they have proven their effectiveness and can deliver excellent results. Using these forms can reduce the costs associated with heating and cooling by as much as 25%. Better insulation improves the flow of heated and cooled air, while walls created with ICFs are able to reduce traveling sound for a quieter space. Another advantage of ICF construction is improved safety, as the forms can reduce mold and eliminate particles of dust.
The insulating concrete forms we use are fully reversible and feature marked and numbered cut lines. They also have corner blocks with horizontal connections and tie web attachment/spacing points. These features ensure that the concrete placed inside the forms is durable and precise. If you have questions about using ICFs on construction projects, don’t hesitate to call us. We can supply what you need and install the forms in or near Jacksonville, Florida.
