Advantages of Insulating Concrete Formwork
Insulating concrete formwork is a new type of formwork systems. Below we will show you the advantages when we use Insulating Concrete Formwork.
For the Construct Personnel
1. Do not need mechanical handling or the use of the crane or other special tools. ICF components and temporary supporting systems with portable design will greatly increase the erecting efficiency and reduce the delivery costs.
2. Modular formwork system. Pipes and utilities can be installed in the concrete core. And the modular design will enhance the efficiency of erecting and disassembly.
3. Quick and easy to erect without the need of skilled worker. Due to the lightweight components are easier to handle than traditional materials, even an untrained worker can quickly erect an Insulating Concrete Formwork System. The low labor and reduced need for skilled worker result in more efficient use of increasingly scarce construction workers.
For the Occupier
1. Fewer expenses. The energy-efficient building using Insulating Concrete Formwork System costs less to heat. Some buildings even don’t need heating other than that provided by solar energy.
2. The concrete core with Insulating Concrete Formwork System provides a solid mass to reduce airborne noise. This makes the system ideal for party wall construction.
3. Healthy and environmentally friendly. The building maintains an even comfortable temperature, and air quality is essentially controlled – good news for those with asthma or other allergies. There are no problems with condensation, mold or mildew.
4. Safe, and fire-resistance. The polystyrene materials used in Insulating Formwork Systems buildings are treated with fire retardant, thus giving all Insulating Concrete Formwork systems appropriate fire certifications.
