The latest 3D printing application? Forming concrete. That’s according to a team at ETH Zurich who claims that construction with foam forms cuts concrete usage up to 70%. It also offers improved ...
Nudura Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) meet the demands of today's buildings, offering an energy efficient and eco-friendly construction option. ICFs consist of two panels of expanded polystyrene foam ...
People don’t believe Ray Hartzell when he says he will spend less than $400 this winter to heat his newly built 2,800-square-foot home in Upper Mount Bethel Township. After all, Hartzell’s ...
Q. Hello, Tim. I was doing research about house foundations and came across interlocking foam forms that stack on top of one another. They assemble much like children’s plastic blocks. Does a concrete ...
Dear Jim: I am thinking of building one of those concrete/foam block houses for efficiency, security and strength. Since concrete feels so cold, is it really energy efficient and will I be limited on ...
Q:I want to build a house which is efficient and strong to withstand tornadoes. I prefer one made with concrete because the resource is so abundant. How good are foam block houses filled with concrete ...
There was an entire row of exhibitors showing various incarnations of insulated concrete forms (ICFs) with their styrofoam walls and their plastic ties that are filled with concrete and then labelled ...
He builds houses not with lumber but with concrete. More particularly, Baker builds with insulated concrete forms, or ICFs two layers of expanded polystyrene foam that are held together by plastic ...

They have their virtues, but concrete and petrochemical sandwiches shouldn't be on the green building menu. Insulated Concrete Forms are a clever building system where two slabs of insulating foam are ...
