ICF construction is an improved technique used to build the exterior walls of a home or building. ICFs are a ‘stay in place’ insulated wall forming systems made of three primary components; high R-value expanded polystyrene foam, rigid polymer ties and steel-reinforced poured concrete. The use ofICFs began more than 50 years ago in Europe and continues to gain popularity today in the construction industry, including being used as a major component for ‘green building’ designs.
