Eco-Block

The ECO-Block insulated concrete form (ICF) is composed of three components - Side panel, Webs, Connectors.

Each block has two side panels:

measuring 1219 mm long by 406 mm high by 64 mm thick. These side panels are made of flame-retardant EPS. Special right-angle forms are also available for making right and left hand corners. These corner forms speed construction and provide an exterior corner-nailing strip.

Unique high-density plastic webs:

are molded every 203 mm on the horizontal axis of the side panel. High-density plastic webs, provide furring strips for any standard wall-finishing product, are recessed by 10mm. The ECO-Block system consists of two types of plastic: Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and high-density plastic.

The connectors:

spans the cavity between the two side panels and connects the two side panels together to make the block. The connectors and the side panels are easily and quickly assembled on site. Connectors are available in different lengths to create concrete walls 100mm (4 inch), 152mm (6 inch), 203mm (8"), or 250mm (10") thick using the same foam pieces.

The space between the panels is filled with concrete that cures and hardens into a monolithic, reinforced core of incredible strength. The ECO-Block side panels remain in place and provide the insulation for the building.
