The eco-construction method used is ICF, Insulated concrete formwork (ICF) is a flexible construction
system that enables fast delivery of creative, flexible buildings. The
system uses cast in-situ concrete between two layers of insulation.
ICF is a simple, composite application of straight forward, but
effective, construction technologies. Specially developed insulating
form-work is erected on site, and then remains in place after the
concrete has been placed in it. From this point on, the form-work
provides secondary function to its primary role of shaping the newly
placed concrete, as it provides a robust thermal insulation layer that
performs for the lifetime of the building.
ICF systems use either lightweight twin walled expanded
polystyrene (EPS), or extruded polystyrene panels (XPS), or blocks.
These are built on site to create form-work walls. Once in place, the
form-work is filled with the ready mixed concrete. Walls one storey high
can be completed in one day, and will be ready to take the roof or floor
construction the following day.
Once the concrete has cured, there's no need to remove the
form-work. It stays in place where it is, providing complete thermal
insulation for the finished building. The interlocking polystyrene
blocks can give a uniform, smooth surface ready to take most forms of
direct internal finish or external cladding or render finishing.
ICF has been used by many architects across North America and
Continental Europe for many years. The fast track, low energy benefits
of designing buildings using ICF are now more widely understood, and
specified, by architects within the UK.
