Aircrete is produced by infusing a concrete mixture with soap foam.
Concrete filled foam block construction.
The building process is simple.
The foam blocks are left in place to provide insulation throughout the life of the home.
Four foot lifts are recommended with a 3 8 aggregate at a 5 5 5 slump.
Six construction steps in one simple package.
In icf construction two insulating faces of a foam block are separated by a connector or web and concrete is poured into the cavity.
If the concrete is poured too quickly it may burst through the foam panels resulting.
Aircrete densities range down to 20 lb cu.
Armstrong is proud to work with reddiform to make insulating concrete form building technology available for all residential and commercial applications.
The insulated concrete forms lock are put together somewhat like lego bricks and serve to create a form for the structural walls of a building.
Universal s knowledge resources and reliability makes us a valuable asset for builders and construction professionals who demand competitive pricing and on time delivery of eps and styrofoam brand foam building materials.
Stack the block lay rebar brace the wall and pour concrete.
When building a home numerous factors need to be considered.
Smartblock forms are great for forming smooth plumb walls.
Filling an icf wall with concrete during the construction process is not always simple.
The insulated concrete forms are modular units that are dry stacked without mortar and filled with concrete.
Jobs go more quickly with less waste and lower costs.
On the inside and.
These fully assembled blocks feature rugged 2 3 4 foam panels for a typical wall assembly r value of r25.
Buildblock insulating concrete forms icfs make concrete comfortable quiet safe and energy efficient.

Foam control geofoam is engineered to give you the greatest possible control for your project application.
However smartblock s special design is also versatile.
From design and timelines to materials and costs and ultimately control over your results.
Logix is simply faster and less expensive than you expect high quality high performance concrete construction to be.
They survive natural disasters better than those built with traditional construction methods.
Durability against insects earthquakes wind water and storms.
Why build aircrete homes.
Typical concrete has a density of 140 lb cu ft.
Geofoam is a lightweight fill in compliance with astm d6817 that gives you control over your geotechnical project.
The molded foam blocks replace traditional forms and since they remain in place after the pour they provide excellent insulation and sound dampening qualities.
Any traditional finish from wood to brick to siding can be applied to interior and exterior faces.
