Insulated Concrete Wall Systems

Insulated concrete form walls are constructed by pouring concrete into hollow pre formed panels which are most commonly made of expanded polystyrene or extruded polystyrene foam.

Insulated concrete wall systems.

Thin wall is a structural load bearing insulated precast building envelope system that features composite action between concrete wythes. Insulated concrete forms icf and structural insulated panels sips are two common wall systems used to construct commercial buildings and homes. Amvic insulated concrete forms icf are a stay in place 5 in 1 concrete forming system incorporating structure insulation an air vapor barrier and a finish attachment. These components come together in one simple to install system that can be erected in much less time than traditional building methods.

These systems are strong and energy efficient. Common applications for this method of construction are low rise buildings with property uses ranging from residential to commercial to industrial. We manufacture and distribute a full line of concrete insulation systems for use in plant precast site cast tilt up and cast in place projects. Insulating concrete forms icfs result in cast in place concrete walls that are sandwiched between two layers of insulation material.

With over 35 years of experience we are the undisputed leader in concrete sandwich wall technology and can help you create building envelopes that maximize energy efficiency durability and performance. The foundations and walls of concrete homes are traditionally constructed by pouring concrete into temporary forms which are removed when the concrete has dried. Both wall systems combine structure and insulation into one unit which quickens construction and reduces labor costs. The system enables a very energy efficient building with edge to edge eps or xps insulation without thermal bridges and uses less concrete than traditional structural wall panels.

Insulated precast concrete wall panels can be created as a complete system that includes insulation and a moisture barrier as well as an exterior membrane and interior finish. The photo above is a sample that shows the cross section of what an actual finished. Homes built with insulated concrete forms icfs are an alternative to this type of construction. They can be manufactured in a variety of sizes and finishes.

This insulated concrete wall system incorporates expanded polystyrene eps foam board insulation for thermal energy efficiency reinforcing steel for strength new patent pending wall ties and high strength shotcrete to provide strength safety and durability.
